Luxury Apartment Florence Tuscany Italy

This 210-square-meter (2,260 sq ft) apartment in Florence’s historic city centre is located on the “piano nobile” (reachable via a staircase or elevator) of Palazzo Buontalenti, a historic building once owned by renowned architect Bernardo Buontalenti. The apartment is just steps from Piazza del Duomo and offers a blend of restored original features and modern amenities.

The layout includes a central reception hall, formerly the Palazzo’s library, featuring frescoed walls with classical architectural details. The apartment comprises an entrance area, a spacious living and dining room overlooking an internal courtyard, a kitchen with views of Via dei Servi, a wardrobe, a laundry room, and a guest bathroom. There are two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, one of which opens onto a balcony with a view of Florence’s Cathedral. The other bedroom faces a quieter internal courtyard.

Additional features include a private 20-square-meter (215 sq ft) cellar on the ground floor, which can be used for storage or as a bicycle shed. The building’s architecture blends late-Renaissance and early 18th-century elements, with two large entrance doors on the ground level flanked by shops, while upper floors feature stone-framed windows and balconies.

The apartment has undergone recent restoration, showcasing high-quality finishes like solid wood parquet flooring, frescoed ceilings, decorative beams, and custom hand-painted doors by local artisans. Modern amenities include air conditioning throughout, double-glazed windows for insulation, an efficient Wi-Fi network, and an antenna for improved phone reception.

Located along Via dei Servi, the apartment is within walking distance of major attractions such as Piazza del Duomo (2 minutes), Palazzo Medici (4 minutes), the Basilica di San Lorenzo (4 minutes), and the Uffizi Gallery (13 minutes). Florence’s shops, boutiques, and other landmarks are also easily accessible by foot. Florence Airport is a 20-minute drive away, while other cities in Tuscany are within a two-hour drive.
