This historic building was once the home of a local newspaper, but today, little remains of journalistic hustle and bustle. While the apartment retains some of its character, visible in the whitewashed wooden ceilings and parquet flooring, it's the modern amenities that make this home the ideal base for a city stay. Custom furnishings and statement lighting evoke modern elegance, while underfloor heating and soundproofing keep this city-centre apartment feeling cosy. But if you want to immerse yourself in city life, head to the private terrace, which overlooks the bustling Via Santa Croce.
