Description
Prestigious apartment with frescoes completely renovated in a 16th-century noble palace in the heart of Florence's historic center, less than a 5-minute walk from the Duomo.
Description
The historic palazzo in which this splendid apartment is located dates back to the first half of the 1500s and was the residence of the important Spanish family Ramirez de Montalvo, who arrived in Florence in 1539. The original frescoes on the facade of the palace, designed by Giorgio Vasari, can still be seen today. The apartment, located on the second floor which is accessed through a delightful internal courtyard, is on one level for a total of about 230 square meters, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The entrance opens onto a large and bright living room, with high ceiling, wooden beams and charming bioethanol fireplace, a convivial space enriched by a beautiful and refined restored fresco dating back to 1600. To the left of the living room are a bathroom, a convenient built-in closet, the cozy eat-in kitchen and a large double bedroom. To its right, on the other hand, is the bright dining room, a study with delightful loft, a multipurpose space to be used as a reading room or additional guest room, a master bedroom with walk-in closet and a second bathroom.

Each resulting space is very well-kept and bright, featuring refined and high quality furniture elements. In addition, the property is equipped with an efficient home automation system and alarm system.
