This elegant four-bedroom, five-bathroom apartment offers the perfect combination of tranquillity and convenience, allowing you to enjoy the privacy of your fully equipped space while being ideally located to explore the captivating city.
Accessed via a few steps from the main Palazzo entrance, with the option of stairs or a lift to the third floor and internal stairs to the fourth floor, this apartment exudes peace and sunlight. It is perfect for larger gatherings, bringing your family or friends together.
Upon entering, you are greeted by grand Tuscan-timbered double doors that lead directly into an elegant reception hall and breakfast room. Custom cabinetry, a circular table seating eight, and a well-equipped galley-style kitchen with integrated appliances await beyond. The sunny and inviting sitting/dining room exudes a similar warmth with its terracotta hues—natural light streams in through two tall, shuttered windows overlooking Via Mozza. The room is tastefully furnished with a large L-shaped sofa in chic neutrals, a circular glass-topped dining table for eight, and wooden flooring adorned with a Kilim rug. You will also find a charming guest bathroom showcasing locally crafted duck-egg blue 'flora and fauna' wallcovering, complete with a wash-hand basin and toilet.
A tranquil double bedroom awaits at the rear of the apartment, adorned in natural linen, salvia green, and terracotta colours. The room features a half-poster double bed beneath a ceiling fresco with a traditional 'Greek key' pattern. The space is complete with a walk-in closet and a sleek en-suite bathroom with polished marmorino and marble shower.
Ascending the sweeping wooden staircase in the reception hall, you discover the fourth floor, where three additional beamed and vaulted en suite double bedrooms await. The apartment's splendid principal bedroom is a sanctuary of natural linen and sun-baked colours. It offers wardrobes, a double bed adorned with the signature motif of the Dimora Italia Collection's velvet cushions, a sparkling en suite bathroom with a marble shower and a stand-alone rolltop bathtub. This bedroom also boasts a fabulous furnished terrace, providing unforgettable rooftop views of the verdant hills, Brunelleschi's Duomo, and Santa Croce.
A cosy and classically styled third double bedroom features twin beds in soft blue greys, a mirrored wardrobe, and an en suite bathroom with a sparkling tiled shower. The fourth and final double bedroom is an utterly charming haven with a double bed dressed in Casamance's Paradisiaca fabric (which can be converted into twin beds upon request). It includes a rear closet and an en-suite bathroom adorned with marble, marmorino, and gorgeous 'honeycomb' ceramic tiling encapsulating the shower.
Apartment Petrarca promises an exquisite stay, immersing you in the elegance of a historic palazzo while providing modern comforts and stunning views of Florence.
