Te boeken vanaf: 1750 euro per week
Description:
When you really want to discover Florence, “living in” an apartment in the city centre, in one of the eldest parts, the “centro historico” is the best option. You can take part of the daily city life, so rich in traditions, history, museums, beautiful old buildings, the so-called "palazzi", and the age-old city gardens. To belong, albeit for a while only, to life in Florence is such an unique experience that we cannot dream to tell you all the ins and outs, and reading about it does not satisfy, either: You will have to experience it yourself.
We can offer you the means of living in Florence in a palazzo in one of the best quarters of the city, the Borgo Santa Croce, close behind the beautiful Piazza Santa Croce (The Holy Cross) in a very special apartment, belonging to an artist, a famous photographer and author.
The “feel” of this apartment is something worth while remembering for the rest of your life. Memories are made of this!
The entrance is via an inner court, characteristic for a city palazzo (dating back to the 16th century) and strong, iron electronic gates for your safety. The inner court, with some potted plants and a (covered) well – which in former ages could mean the difference between life and death – leads you towards a modern elevator.Your temporary home is situated on the first floor.
The apartment is beautiful, completely and tastefully restored with many authentic fresco’s on walls and ceilings. The spacious living room, with a round dining table for 4 and a large, marble open fire place (cannot be used for secuirity reasons ) boasts a gorgeously decorated wooden ceiling. There is a functional kitchen in black and white with 3 gas burners and 1 electric plate, oven, refrigerator/ freezer, coffeemaker and dishwasher. Next to the kitchen a glass door leads you to the balcony, small but big enough to offer space for potted plants (with a gardenia and a large aloe), table and chairs for 4 persons and a view on other gardens and palazzi. Moreover, this balcony more or less hides the washing machine which is placed here.
The entrance, with to the right the living room, is spacious and you can spend hours studying the fresco’s. When you go right, at the back, you enter the study/television room (you can also reach this room going left, out of the living room). Again, fresco’s galore! This room has a desk, book cases, television (Led), telephone, fax and a music system. The sofa can be turned into a comfortable single bed. Next a bathroom with basin, bidet, toilet and shower.
And to top it all: the bedroom. This is a very special one, “tailor made”, with some Japanese touches. The double bed, which can be described as a kind of cross between a traditional bed and a futon, with a very comfortable mattress, is surrounded with a lot of blond-coloured wood . On the right, a glass house – we do not know how else to describe it – with a partially sunk bath with a basin. Large mirror. On top of this glass house, to be reached via a wooden ladder, a mattress on the floor with books in open bookcases on two sides. You can be lazy and spend hours here, in the improbable case that you would prefer reading to exploring Florence! Separate toilet.
Because of the extraordinary mixture of design and antiques, enchanced with lovely, unique objects d’art, the atmosphere in this apartment can truly be said to be artistic. Photographs, in this case, give just a faint rendering of the reality.
