In the historic center of Florence, two steps from Piazza Santa Croce, restored apartment on the ground floor of a historic palazzo. The property, still featuring all the original finishes, is laid over 130 sqm in total and includes a bright living room, an ample double bedroom and two bathrooms. Services are all available nearby and easily reached even on foot. From Florence one can then move around Tuscany and reach the region’s most interesting cen- ters in less than two hours by car (Fiesole, San Casciano Val di Pesa, Colle di Val d’Elsa, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Siena, Pisa, Montepulciano, Pienza…). The airport of Florence is just 20’ away (10 km) but the terminals in Bologna, Pisa, Perugia and Rome are equally convenient.

The apartment (130 sqm – 1,399 sqft) is located on the ground floor of the palazzo and is ac- cessed from the condominium entrance. The main door leads into a hallway with three more doors. On the left there is the main bathroom, while right in front one can enter either the living area, made up of an ample living hall with kitchen, or the sleeping area (made up of a double bedroom with private bathroom). From the hallway between the living area and the bedroom, a wind- ing metal staircase leads into a gallery that could be used either as a children bedroom or as a studio.

The house has been finely restored and still boasts all the features typical of noble dwellings in the historic center, among which 5m-high ceilings in the main rooms. The living room, in particular, features a splendid vaulted ceiling with frescoes and moldings and is brightened by an ample win- dow. The floors of the apartment, except for the main bathroom, are covered in light parquet while the walls are painted in white so that the house is very bright and welcoming.
