Blending Renaissance elegance with modern minimalism, this apartment just a one-minute walk from Piazza della Libertà is a striking example of Florence’s past and present coming together in perfect harmony. The barely-there furnishings offer a large, sociable space offset by tall windows bathing the space in light and wood floors that add a natural contrast to the bright white walls. Whether you’re making yourself comfortable in the monochrome living room or sitting down to a meal at the sleek kitchen’s breakfast bar, you can’t help but feel the subtle grandeur of your setting. Most impressive of all, however, is the mezzanine bedroom. Though it too is chicly pared-back, the incredible frescoed ceiling provides a stunning focal point, making you feel like you’re falling asleep in a Renaissance painting as you lay down for a restful night’s sleep. With a desk on hand here too, you’re all set should you need to catch up on work, while the en-suite’s rainfall shower offers a luxurious start to any day. When you’re not spending time in your singular pad, go out and explore the many sights around you. The Accademia Gallery – home to Michelangelo’s David – is a ten-minute walk, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is a fifteen-minute stroll, while the Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio is just over twenty minutes away on foot.
