This elegant apartment is situated in an ancient palace on the south side of the river Arno, a few minutes walk from the Ponte Vecchio, the Pitti Palace, the Boboli Gardens. Just across the river is the Uffizi Gallery, the Piazza della Signoria and the shopping district. On one side the apartment overlooks the medieval Via de’ Bardi, and on the other it enjoys spectacular views over the river and the city beyond, with its ancient towers and the cupola of the Duomo. The building’s original structure dates back to the 15th century, when a myriad of little cobbled roads branched off from the Ponte Vecchio into the Oltrarno.
The apartment is accessed by a lift and there is a daytime concierge service. Entrance is into a delightful hallway. The living/dining room is spacious and light, with views of the Ponte Vecchio, the Loggiato degli Uffizi and the Tower of Palazzo Vecchio. On one side of the room is a dining table seating six. The parquet flooring, the elegant upholstery in reds and blues, and the pictures on the walls give a warm, cosy, yet luxurious ambience.
The three bedrooms include a twin bedroom decorated in blues and reds and furnished with a view over the river Arno to the Loggiato degli Uffizi. Opposite the living room, there is a pretty bedroom with twin beds, which faces south and overlooks the Via de’ Bardi. It has an en-suite bathroom with shower. Across the landing, is the master bedroom decorated in an attractive red and white print. The flooring is in beautiful nineteenth century tiles. The window looks out over the same dramatic view as the living room. The last door to the right cleverly conceals a delightful pink and white en-suite bathroom with shower. There is a fully equipped modern kitchen, white and blue, which provides ample work space and a small table for breakfast.
The apartment has a third bathroom with bathtub and hand held shower. Amenities include central heating, air conditioning (in some rooms), satellite TV, telephone and high speed internet access.
