Florence Luxury 4 Bedroom Apartment

This spacious 420 sqm (4,520 sq ft) apartment, in Florence’s historic city centre just a few steps from Piazza del Duomo, occupies the piano nobile (accessible by stairs or elevator) of a 16th-century palazzo once owned by the famous Italian architect Bernardo Buontalenti. The property is arranged around three internal courtyards and is currently divided into two connected 2 bed units, each with its own entrance. It is the only property on the street featuring two balconies with views of the Cathedral and dome.

The apartment’s layout includes a central frescoed hall, formerly the palazzo’s library, serving as the main reception area. The south wing comprises an entry hall, a reception area with a dining space, a kitchen, a laundry room, a guest bathroom, and two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. One bedroom has a balcony with views of the Cathedral, while the other overlooks a quieter internal courtyard.

The north wing features a frescoed entry hall, a large living room with a coffered ceiling, a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, an additional bedroom, and a bathroom. There is also a kitchen with access to a mezzanine level housing a service bathroom and a technical room. A second living area, also adorned with frescoes, connects to a balcony overlooking the Cathedral.

The building retains its late-Renaissance structure, with updates from the early 18th century by Pietro Paolo Giovannozzi. The ground floor has two large doorways framed in stone, and the upper floors are characterized by a progression of windows with more refined features the higher up they are.

Inside, the apartment has been restored with attention to detail, showcasing solid wood parquet flooring, painted vaulted ceilings, and custom hand-painted doors. The property is equipped with modern conveniences, including air conditioning throughout, double-glazed windows for insulation, a Wi-Fi network, and an antenna to enhance phone reception.

An exclusive 20 sqm (215 sq ft) cellar on the ground floor offers additional storage space. The apartment’s location on Via dei Servi places it within easy walking distance of Florence’s major attractions, including the Duomo (2 minutes), Palazzo Medici (4 minutes), and the Uffizi Gallery (13 minutes). Shops, restaurants, and other services are all nearby, and Florence’s airport is a 20-minute drive away. Other Tuscan cities can be reached within two hours.
