The triangular terrace is closed to one side by a 14th century loggia, known as the “bellosguardo”. It is in fact from here that Francesco I de Medici watched his beloved Bianca Cappello who lived in the building on via Maggio which the Great Duke had built in 1566 by Buontalenti, whose beautiful fountain is underneath the aedicule. Indeed, the love story between Francesco I de Medici and the venetian Bianca Cappello was one of the most beautiful and passionate love stories from the Renaissance period, and this house bore witness to their story.

Luca was so helpful with perfect directions and recommendations. The apartment is very comfortable, a great location, and absolutely beautiful. I would not hesitate to stay here again.
Everything was great with this place! We loved the patio! You can look down at all the action from the rotunda room but have plenty of privacy on the patio.
The host was very available and responsive. The apartment was fabulous, beautifully decorated, comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, great air conditioning, great location. I can’t say enough. I would absolutely stay here again!
Well, we were in a perfect location for a short term stay in Florence for first time visitors. We could see the Duomo out our window. A washer and a dryer which worked well. Beautiful space, comfortable beds. Luka (Luca?) met us at the apartment, which is a short walk from the train station. Spent a good amount of time with us orienting us to where we were and how to use the doors and the keys and everything. The heater had gone out in the place we had actually rented and this was a different spot, but it turned out to be perfect. We were traveling with a mobility, impaired, but still mobile, person.
With exception to the noisy evening partygoers (which we were forewarned about) this was a phenomenal location and superb home base on every other level. Thank you Luca!!
Great jumping-off point for all things Florence. Breakfast on the outdoor terrace was a treat. Furnishing were great. Can't beat for a 2 br / 2 bth in the thick of things.
The apartment is on "the other side" of the river and we couldn't have been happier. Great restaurants and shops and we appreciated Luca's communication and suggestions for the area. We would definitely stay again.
Magnificent! A beautiful, well located, apartment.
The apartment is magnificent! Well located, comfortable with fabulous decor. The outdoor terrace is a wonderful spot to relax and watch the world go by. This is a very special place to stay.
This place was a lifesaver for us in Florence. Located right across the bridge from central area, plenty of fantastic restaurants very close. The space is beautiful, clean, convenient. Parking is available in a garage nearby.
Loved this location. Everything you need is steps away. Wish the weather would have cooperated because I really wanted to spend some time on the terrace.
Would highly recommend.
What a gorgeous apartment! And it is located in a perfect area for seeing the sites yet still not being totally in tourist hell. Luca was a magnificent host. I can't recommend Terrazza de' Medici highly enough. Ten stars.
Wonderful location and beautiful historic building. We especially enjoyed the terrace and it's unique sitting room. Would recommend that owners update the kitchen utensils/dishware but otherwise we were very comfortable here for our 6 night stay.
This was such a fabulous place to stay during our time in Florence. The outdoor space allows you to relax after touring the city. The place is clean and has all you need for a comfortable stay. It does have traffic noise, but that was easily remedied thru our phones’ sleep app that produces white noise. Love this place!
The property is full of character and well-furnished. The lift was non-functional during our stay and there are signs of deteriorating wood on the door shutters and windows in the small conservatory on the terrace - but overall the place is ideally situated, the property manager was quick to reply to inquiries, and our stay was very enjoyable.
Our stay at TERRAZZA DE' MEDICI was great! Located right across the river from the heart of Florence within an easy walk of all the top landmarks, with great neighborhood, restaurants all around. It really felt like home! And that little terrace is to die for!
I would ask the host for some shampoo and bar soap and if you need to do laundry, remember there isn’t a dryer so allow for time to air dry!
Beautifully appointed apartment with old world charm and modern amenities situated right off Ponte Santa Trinita. The location was central to all the museums and there were several restaurants and coffee shops within a short walk. The outdoor patio was great for nighttime glasses of wine and for people watching. Luca was an accommodating host.
The apartment and terrace gave the old world experience we were looking for. Super easy to walk to all locations and tons of restaurants near by. I highly recommend. The only downside to property is that it is at a very busy intersection with noise at night. I just ran a background fan noise app on my phone and it worked out perfectly. Just something some may need to consider.
