This 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment is located in Palazzo Virginio, a recently renovated historical building on Via Ghibellina. It is a 3 minute walk to Santa Croce Church, and 10 minutes to the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria. Bus service is nearby.
Open the door to a beautiful marble entry which leads you to the elevator taking you to the second floor apartment. The apartment is furnished with a blend of antique and modern furnishings, and has typical Tuscan terracotta floors throughout. The apartment orientation away from the street and facing an internal courtyard provides a quiet retreat in the heart of the city.
On the entry level, the foyer leads you to the light-filled open kitchen, dining and living area with a balcony overlooking the courtyard. A spacious bathroom with bathtub is also on this floor. To provide additional privacy, the bedrooms and a bathroom with shower are located on the lower level.
The neighborhood is typically Florentine, near the Sant’Ambrogio market where you’ll find meat, produce and groceries, as well as restaurants such as Cibreo and the Enotecca Pinchiorri, reputedly one of the best restaurants in the world. Immediately across the street there is a piazza closed to traffic surrounded by a former prison, Le Murate, which has been converted into apartments, a restaurant and a theater which provides local entertainment and color.
You will find this central neighborhood, and especially our apartment, an excellent choice for your stay in Florence. |
