About this property

Luxury Apartment in Florence "TERRAZZA DE' MEDICI"

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
1 double bedroom – 1 bathroom with bath – 1 terrace
The apartment is made up of:
Electronic entrance door and lift
Kitchen: gas hob - fridge – freezer - oven – microwave oven - Nespresso coffee machine – toaster – kettle.
Bathroom: in mosaic, with bath.
Bedroom: large wardrobe, TV, double bed.
Lounge: furnished with sofas, armchairs and other antique furniture.
Dining room: sofa, french table, venetian cabinet.
Terrace with aedicula: 20sq.m. + loggia with pot plants, 16th century marble shell fountain, 14th century decoration on the entrance to the aedicula.

L' Antica Dimora TERRAZZA DE’ MEDICI is situated in the historical centre of Florence, just a stone’s throw from the Ponte Vecchio and the main sights of the city. Elegantly furnished with a rich combination of antique furniture and modern day comforts, the apartment is found on the first floor of a beautiful 15th century building which looks out onto Borgo San Iacopo, a characteristic street which leads to the famous Ponte Vecchio and its boutiques, bars and restaurants. The apartment is 70 sq m and is made up of the entrance, lounge, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. In addition, there is a wonderful terrace with aedicula, where guests can enjoy a panoramic view over 5 avenues and relax with a cool drink, or have dinner under the moonlit sky. 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.

Fantastic!
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.

Location and character
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.

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.

Architectural Gem
This apartment is in a well-designed building with thoughtful preservation and renovation. On the first floor, its primary feature is a lovely balcony and cupola room overlooking the street.While well stocked with necessities and excellent linens and cleaned weekly, this apartment has some challenges including a lack of storage space and a lack of light. The common room is small, but filled with very large furniture that cramps comfort. The primary bedrooom faces the street and can be noisy well into the night. Street cleaning starts at daybreak or a little before and there was noisy ongoing construction during our entire stay.That said, Oltrarno is wonderful, and very desirable as a neighborhood. Steps from the Centro Storico, this apartment is close to wonderful restaurants, shopping, artisan work shops and food resources without the hubbub of the major tourist areas across the Arno.

Oasis in Firenze!
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!

Wonderful unique outdoor space in Florence!
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!

Santo Spirito Gem
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.

Well-appointed, beautiful apartment right on a busy piazza just a couple of blocks from the river. We enjoyed the combination of modern amenities and updates with old-world charm and artsy touches. Easy walking to loads of cafes, restaurants and museums. Just make sure to bring your earplugs! The square below is a noisy one!

Words really cannot express how amazing, beautiful, and comfortable this apartment was! We would not hesitate to stay here again when we come back to Florence. The apartment has EVERYTHING you could want or need. Perfect location right by the canal bridge. We walked everywhere. Thank you so much for letting us experience your home-it is spectacular.

Fantastic
Really loved the apartment. The location was perfect. Just a short jaunt across the bridge and your into main attraction area with no car traffic. Plenty of great restaurants just downstairs. The terrace with the special corner was perfect for just watching the bustling on the street below. The bustling below could be very loud at times even late at night but we didn’t mind it. Kinda liked the energy. Gelato stand just across the street was very good and authentic. We visited many times.

Perfection
From our first moment finding Luca’s apartment, we fell in love with it. Located within a short walk of the Ponte Vecchio, the River Arno and handy shops, the apartment is fitted out superbly with old and contemporary mixed expertly together. The main bedroom in particular is wonderful, the beds comfortable and the bathrooms functional, clean and stylishly tiled/fitted. However, the absolute highlight has to be the terrace with small room, enough to seat 4, overlooking the street below and perfect for pre-dinner drinks watching the world go by or late night-caps after exploring beautiful Florence. We had worried that being so close to the centre of things might mean that noise was an issue but quite frankly, nothing disturbed our night’s sleep, as once the windows are shut any noise is dimmed down. This is an exceptional find and Luca a great host. We will be back.
