Uffizi Apartment 30 Meters from Gallery! **Romance & Art**
Year Purchased: 1995
Why the Owner Chose Florence
I didn’t choose Florence, because Florence chose me. It is my native city, the place of my childhood and university studies. Everything of Florence fascinates me: the geometry of Ghiberti and Brunelleschi, the breathtaking views from Piazzale Michelangelo or Ponte Vecchio that the city offers at sunset.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
My flat is really a few steps from Uffizi’s main entrance (literally 1 minute walking across the street!). It is located in a pedestrian street, in a protected area of Florence: a short medieval street behind the Uffizi Gallery, with no pubs o night clubs. The street is very quiet and clean (truly a safe place for women traveling alone). The apartment is on the second floor of a small building, fully renovated, with few apartments. There is an ELEVATOR in the building so there's no need to carry your suitcases (or shopping bags) up the stairs. You can visit Florence, night and day, walking everywhere. In the neighbourhood you can find everything you need for a good stay.
Off Piazza della Signoria, there is the entrance of Uffizi Galleries, one of the world's great museums, and the single best introduction to Renaissance painting.
The most important historic government building in Florence was built from 1299 to 1302 on the designs of Arnolfo di Cambio, Gothic master builder of the city.
The oldest and most famous bridge across the Arno, the Ponte Vecchio we know today was built in 1345 by Taddeo Gaddi.
The Loggia dei Lanzi, located on a corner of the Piazza della Signoria, has been built between 1376 and 1391 in Late Gotic ‘Florentine’ style.
Situated between Piazza Strozzi and via Tornabuoni, the Palazzo Strozzi is one of the finest examples of Renaissance domestic architecture.
Mercato del Porcellin(Porcellino's Market) is famous for hand-made embroidery, leather goods and traditional Florentine crafts.It owes its name to the famous statue of a boar.
Inside this 1255 Gothic palazzo is Florence's premier sculpture museum, with works by Michelangelo, della Robbia, and Donatello. What the Uffizi offers in painting, the Bargello offers in sculpture!
Museo di Storia della Scienza(Museum of the History of Science)houses an impressive collection of scientific instruments dating from the 13th century, including Galileo's instruments and finger :)
Davanzati Palace and Museum of the Old Florentine House covers three floors and contains furniture, drawings, sculpture, tapestries, ceramics, textiles and everyday objects from the Middle Ages..
The The "Palazzo dell`Arte della Lana" (guildhall of the Florentine Wool guild stands besides Orsanmichele), with whom it communicates through a corridor.
Piazza della Repubblica is the largest Piazza in Florence.It is filled with historic cafes: "Le giubbe Rosse", "Caff� Paszkowski" and "Caff� Gilli".
The gallery is famous Michelangelo’s “David”. It also preserves paintings between the 200’s and 500’s and plaster cast collections and a collection of Russian Icons.
The museum is dedicated to Florence's greatest poet, Dante Alighieri.
This museum is located next to the church of Santa Croce, one of the most extraordinary examples of Italian Gothic architecture with 14th century paintings.
