Florence Palazzo Apartment Building for Sale | Luxury Apartments Oltrarno

This historic palazzo apartment building for sale in Florence is located on Via de’ Bardi, in the heart of the Oltrarno, one of the city’s most established residential areas. The property occupies a dominant, panoramic position within Florence’s historic centre and was fully restored between 2020 and 2021, combining preserved architectural character with modern building systems and services.

The building extends over approximately 1,496 sq m (16,103 sq ft) across five floors and comprises nine independent luxury apartments, served by an internal elevator. Apartment layouts include a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, making the property suitable both as a Florence luxury apartment investment and as a single private palazzo residence. A private internal garage and a large panoramic roof terrace add significant value, particularly within Florence’s restricted historic centre.
The property for sale includes the ground, second, third and fourth floors of the building (the first floor is currently not for sale).

Architectural elements typical of prestigious Florentine palazzi have been retained, including frescoed ceilings, stone detailing, vaulted rooms, large windows, parquet flooring and original masonry. The building is equipped with modern infrastructure, including centralized networking, video surveillance, intrusion detection with optical and thermal cameras, air conditioning, natural gas heating with radiators, and full utility connections.

At the top of the building, a large panoramic roof terrace of approximately 190 sq m provides open views across Florence’s historic skyline and toward the Giardino Bardini. This outdoor space significantly enhances the property’s appeal for both private use and high-end rentals in the Florence market.

Apartment Layout Summary

The palazzo is arranged as follows:

Ground floor: garage and three apartments

Mezzanine floor: one apartment

Second floor: four apartments

Third and fourth floors: the largest penthouse apartment with private terrace access

The principal apartment occupies the upper floors and includes multiple living areas, three bedrooms plus an additional guest suite, private elevator access, and exclusive use of the panoramic roof terrace. The remaining apartments are fully independent, well-proportioned, and suitable for long-term or short-term residential use, subject to local regulations.

Apartment Michelangelo (338 m², 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms): located on the third and fourth floors, this apartment is the largest in the building. The main entrance (on the upper floor) can be reached directly via the elevator (private in the last section). On one side of the entrance are the kitchen with pantry, a bedroom and the large representative living room. On the opposite side, we find the bathroom, a games room (which can be used for various purposes as needed), a more intimate sitting room, and the large master bedroom with a private bathroom, walk-in closet, and an exit to an exclusive terrace (34 m²). A staircase from the hallway descends to the lower floor (which still has independent access): here, there is a small living room and a bedroom with a private bathroom. From the living room on the fourth floor, a door leads to the large panoramic terrace (190 m²), offering a breathtaking view of the entire historic centre of Florence and the Giardino Garden.
Apartment Leonardo (75 m², 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom): located on the third floor, this apartment opens with an entrance hall leading to the living area with a kitchen. From here it then leads to the bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

Next to the hall are the dining area and kitchen with pantry, while at the corners, two doors lead to three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets (one of the bedrooms is accessible by descending a short staircase).

From here, a corridor leads to the living/dining room with the kitchen and bathroom. Beyond the living area, overlooking Via de’ Bardi, we then find the bedroom. Immediately before entering the apartment, a secondary door leads to a room that provides access to the loft, which consists of several rooms ideal for storage and/or a wine cellar.
Apartment Brunelleschi (48 m², 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom): located on the ground floor, this small independent unit is accessible from the condominium hallway and consists of a large room that serves as a living/bedroom area, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
