Splendida

Splendid Arno river views from the balcony, living room and bedrooms will enchant you from this amazing location in Florence's historic center. From the balcony glimpse views of the Duomo and the bell tower in Piazza Signora. Enjoy views of rowers gliding by below in the tranquil early morning hours or toast the sunset gazing out at gorgeous golden light glowing over the river.

Located on the charming Oltrarno side of the river, the apartment has trio of bridge views spanning from the Ponte alla Carraia below to Ponte Santa Trinita all the way to the famed Ponte Veccchio. Directly across the Ponte alla Carraia is the elegant Piazza Goldoni and Palazzo Corsini.

Filled with light and appointed in authentic mid-century modern décor, Splendida is a chic apartment that has been renovated with great care and quality. This roomy two bedroom, two bathroom apartment maximizes the use of space and views with a clever split level layout that takes full advantage of the balcony that runs the length of the apartment.

Enter into a hallway that leads to the large, modern kitchen-dining room, then up a few steps to the living room with two sofas and an armchair that take advantage of the remarkable views and balcony access. A railing-height glass safety partition runs along the living room area that overlooks the kitchen-dining area. 

Off the hallway is bedroom 1 which is situated up a few stairs from the closet area and has an en suite bathroom. This bedroom has French doors that open to the balcony. At the end of the hallway is the larger, bedroom 2 with a small seating area with French doors to the balcony. The bathroom for this bedroom is accessed off the hallway. Double-glazed windows throughout. Both bathrooms are appointed in beautiful Carrara marble.

Things to See & Do

Ponte Vecchio (6 min Walk)
Awesome ancient bridge over Florence's Arno river that has survived 800 years. Famous for the shops of goldsmiths along its length.
Pitti Palace (5 min Walk)
The famous Medici family's home, it is a large museum with many fascinating galleries. It opens to the large Boboli gardens that may be visited separately. It is the origin of the Vasari Corridor, an enclosed, protective "bridge" between the palace and the Medici offices at the Uffizi.
Boboli Gardens (20 min Walk)
Expansive and beautiful gardens behind the famous Pitti Palace with statues including the fat man (Bacchus) on the turtle.
Uffizi Gallery (9 min Walk)
One of the greatest museums in the world. The defining collection of Renaissance art. A tour is recommended.
Piazza della Repubblica (9 min Walk)
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.
Duomo (14 min Walk)
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!
Accademia (18 min Walk)
Home of the original David by Michelangelo, his dramatic Bound Slaves and a very nice museum.
