About this property
Apartment Florentius offers a breathtaking residence in the heart of Florence, Italy. This elegant property on the third and fourth floors of a 19th-century Palazzo offers a serene and opulent living experience with three bedrooms and four bathrooms, perfect for up to six guests. Prepare to be enchanted by the exquisite design, impeccable craftsmanship, and stunning rooftop views that define this exceptional holiday apartment.
The apartment is located on the third floor of this enchanting Palazzo. The front door opens into a spacious open-plan sitting, dining, and kitchen area. Bathed in natural light from three tall, shuttered windows, the room exudes an air of sophistication. The tasteful furnishings include a large sofa with piped edging placed upon a Kilim rug in coordinating colours. Adjacent to the sitting area, a hexagonal dining suite offers rooms for guests to share good food and even better conversation! The well-equipped kitchen stands opposite the dining area; however, the true centrepiece of this room is the extraordinary contemporary cantilevered steel spiral staircase, a masterpiece of craftsmanship that ascends to the fourth floor.
Venturing upward, the fourth floor reveals a landing sitting area where you can enjoy the splendid rooftop views of the 17th-century Villa Bardini and its picturesque Italianate gardens. Tucked away discreetly in this area is a closet housing a convenient washing machine and dryer. Beyond the landing, you'll discover three vaulted and timber-beamed bedrooms, each more enchanting than the last.
The first bedroom, a delightful double, offers breathtaking rooftop views towards Villa Bardini, Palazzo Vecchio's tower, and the iconic Brunelleschi's Duomo. The room features a double bed adorned in Casamance's Paradisiaca fabric, which can be divided into twins upon request. A walk-in closet and sleek en-suite bathroom complete this serene retreat. Next, a captivating principal bedroom awaits, decorated in shades of mauve. From its windows, you can admire the tower of Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo. The room boasts a double bed, convertible into twins, a wardrobe, and a marble en-suite bathroom. An inviting third double bedroom awaits at the end of the corridor, offering dual-aspect views of Palazzo Vecchio's tower and the Duomo. The twin beds are dressed in soothing blue greys, while a small window provides glimpses of the hills above Florence. This bedroom also boasts its own en-suite bathroom with marble features.
Apartment Florentius offers an idyllic retreat where timeless beauty and modern comfort blend harmoniously. You can immerse yourself in the splendour of Florence while experiencing the utmost luxury and serenity that this remarkable property has to offer.
