The ancient palace from the Renaissance period has been intelligently renovated, so much so as to equip it with a lift, which is not common in the historic center.
The modernization works (including air conditioning) saved the architectural structure: the frescoed ceiling of the living room and the coffered ceiling decorations of the bedroom are really valuable.
The apartment is located halfway between the San Giovanni neighborhood (which houses the Duomo and the Accademia Gallery) and the Santa Croce neighborhood (with the church of the same name) and you couldn't wish to stay more in the historic center than this!
Less than a 10-minute walk away are all the most important Renaissance monuments, as well as the Sant'Ambrogio market and the Santa Maria Novella train station.
During the Renaissance, this area was the cultural center of Florence, Italy and the world!
The area overflows with humanity especially around the stalls that are spread around the Central Market, which is also very populated inside.
On the ground floor there is still the ancient market, where you can buy typical Florentine food products (don't forget to taste the lampredotto and finocchiona!), while on the first floor restaurants and street food follow one another in a unique socializing environment where everyone can eat at the same table!
The other face of the neighborhood is that of the Medici family who left humanity majestic works such as the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, the family's seat for decades, the Basilica of San Lorenzo and the Medici Chapels, an extraordinary family mausoleum.
An obligatory stop on every visit to Florence is the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as the Duomo with its wonderful dome by Brunelleschi, adorned by the Baptistery > and from the adjacent Giotto's Bell Tower: many steps are absolutely worth climbing to admire a breathtaking view!
But don't forget to visit Piazza Santa Croce and get lost in the streets of the historic center among its ancient shops, its cafes and trattorias offering typical dishes of Tuscan cuisine.
Those who choose to live in this area will find a wide range of food shops, pastry shops, bakers and much more.
The apartment is located in the historic center of Florence which is a limited traffic area, ZTL, where special rules apply for accessing or parking.
