Luxury 2 bedroom apartment for sale in Florence Italy in a historic palazzo on the piano nobile accessed by stairs or elevator. Close to facilities, services and amenities. View of the Cathedral

Florence Italy property for sale

This 210sqm  (2,260 sq ft) apartment in Florence’s historic centre is situated on the piano nobile of a historic palazzo once owned by architect Bernardo Buontalenti. Just steps from Piazza del Duomo, the residence has been carefully restored to preserve its original character, including period features like frescoed ceilings and wooden beams. It is one of only two properties on the street offering two balconies with views of the Cathedral’s iconic dome.

The layout includes a grand entrance hall with frescoes and a balcony overlooking an internal courtyard. The corridor leads to a spacious living room with a coffered ceiling, a dining area, and a second balcony with views of the Duomo. There is a fully-equipped kitchen with access to the internal balcony, a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and additional toilet, and a second bedroom connected through the living area. A staircase opposite the kitchen descends to a mezzanine level with a service bathroom and technical room.

The palazzo dates back to the 16th century and retains its late-Renaissance structure, although the current facade reflects early 18th-century updates by Pietro Paolo Giovannozzi. The ground floor features large entrance doorways framed in stone, with shops occupying the street-level openings, while the upper floors showcase more refined architectural details.

The apartment has been modernized with solid wood parquet flooring, LED lighting integrated into the mouldings, double-glazed windows for improved insulation, and custom hand-painted doors crafted by Tuscan artisans. It is equipped with air conditioning throughout, a reliable Wi-Fi network, and an antenna on the roof for enhanced phone reception.

Located on Via dei Servi, the property provides convenient access to Florence’s main attractions. It’s just a short walk to landmarks such as the Cathedral (2 minutes), Palazzo Medici (4 minutes), and the Uffizi Gallery (13 minutes). Florence’s boutiques and shops are also within easy reach, and the city’s airport is about 20 minutes away by car. Other Tuscan destinations are accessible in under two hours.
