Lorenzo

This apartment just might have it all: spacious accommodations, stunning Duomo views, gorgeous décor, spacious accommodations and the perfect central location in the Santa Croce neighborhood of Florence.

Location

Welcome to the Santa Croce neighborhood in the center of Florence. It's one of the most historical areas of the city, but you won't need to wander far to find modern comforts like markets, restaurants, and the popular tourist destinations. Make sure to check out the traffic-free Piazza Santa Croce, which is home to regular soccer games (complete with medieval costumes!). The apartment is located on Via Verdi, a historic street with a mixture of medieval and mid-century modern architecture.

Exterior

This apartment is the best of both worlds: a modern style in an historic neighborhood. Designed by the famous mid-century modern architect Giovanni Michelucci in the 1960s, the apartment is located just a short walk away from the lively Piazza Santa Croce.

Interior

Lorenzo is truly a rare find in Florence: a four bedroom, four bathroom apartment with a panoramic view of the surrounding city. The mid-century modern design and the thoughtful detailing throughout are both luxurious and comfortable: original parquet floors, mosaic and stucco detailing in the bathrooms, soundproof windows offering stunning views of the Duomo, and even a private sauna!

The open living area is flooded with light and connects to the large, fully equipped kitchen with full-size refrigerator and six-burner stove. Each bedroom, replete with fabulous views, can sleep two guests and has its own bathroom, making this the perfect apartment for larger families or groups of friends traveling together.

Every bedroom and the living room has a terrace with stunning views of Florence.

The windows throughout are double glazed.

Things to See & Do

Piazza Santa Croce (1 mins Walking)
Grand piazza of Florence, largest in the center. Fine historic palaces and reigned over by the brooding statue of Dante Alighieri. The cathedral is the temple to the "gods" of Italy including Michelangelo, Rossini, Machiavelli, Galileo and more. Location of events including Calcio Storico "the most brutal sport".
Piazza della Signoria (7 mins Walking)
Center of power of Florence since ancient times with the David statue by the Palazzo Vecchio, the ancient seat of government, and the loggia of dramatic statues each of which has a story about politics and power. Imagine the Bonfires of the Vanities here and the triumphal return of the Medici.
Uffizi Gallery (9 mins Walking)
One of the greatest museums in the world. The defining collection of Renaissance art. A tour is recommended.
Accademia (10 mins Walking)
Home of the original David by Michelangelo, his dramatic Bound Slaves and a very nice museum.
Duomo (10 mins Walking)
Florence's famous and glorious cathedral, Santa Maria del Fiore, beautiful to gaze at since the 1300s. Don't miss and, if you can, read about -- then visit the amazing dome by Brunelleschi erected without scaffolding!
Piazza della Repubblica (10 mins Walking)
A great piazza of Florence. The shape reflects its role as the forum in Roman times. Now it has fine palaces and a triumphal arch and colonnaded sidewalks. You will see street artists, impromptu musical performances and a colorful merry-go-round. Glitterati in the fancy cafes.
