Apartment In A Medieval Tower In The Heart Of The Oltrarno

In the heart of Florence’s Oltrarno district, just a short stroll from Ponte Vecchio, this elegant apartment is set within a prestigious medieval tower dating from the 13th to the 17th century, which has been recently restored.

Located on the second floor and served by a lift, the apartment was masterfully renovated in the 1970s by a renowned Florentine architect and designer, who reinterpreted the interiors with a contemporary vision while preserving the building’s remarkable historical character. Original architectural features, including a medieval tabernacle, frescoes and exposed stone walls, have been beautifully integrated with iconic 1970s design elements such as mezzanine levels, concealed built-in cabinetry and bespoke lighting. More recent renovations have further enhanced the property with upgraded flooring, bathrooms and windows, ensuring a high standard of comfort throughout.

The entrance opens onto a welcoming living area with both lounge and dining spaces. A staircase leads to the mezzanine level, where the principal bedroom is located, featuring a spacious en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and double vanity. The living room also provides access to the separate kitchen and a practical utility area, ideal as a laundry room and additional storage space. A spiral staircase leads to the second bedroom, a single room with its own private bathroom, perfectly suited as a guest bedroom, home office or additional accommodation.

The location is one of Florence’s most sought-after addresses. All essential amenities, luxury boutiques, artisan workshops, art galleries and some of the city’s finest restaurants are within easy walking distance, allowing residents to fully experience the unique charm of the Oltrarno and Florence’s historic centre.
