Renovated Apartment Overlooking The Lungarno In A Historic Palazzo In The Heart Of Florence

In the heart of Florence’s historic centre, steps from the San Frediano neighbourhood and within sight of the Lungarno, a third and top-floor apartment in a distinguished palazzo carries the character of the Medici city with quiet confidence. The principal floor area is approximately 111 sqm, with a cellar of around 18 sqm below, for a combined total of 129 sqm.

The renovation has balanced respect for the historic fabric with the demands of contemporary living. Exposed timber beams mark the ceilings, lending depth and warmth to every room; terracotta floors ground the interiors in an atmosphere that feels genuinely rooted in the Tuscan genius loci. The wooden shuttered windows — entirely new — temper the strong light from the Lungarno without sacrificing any elegance of detail.

The entrance opens directly onto a generous open-plan living area where the sitting room and a modern open kitchen share the space naturally, a configuration that draws full advantage from the exceptional natural light of a top-floor position. A storage room adds quiet practicality to the living area without intruding on it. The sleeping area comprises a spacious double bedroom with direct access to the laundry room and adjacent bathroom; the second bedroom, independently accessible from the living area, offers full flexibility of use.

On the ground floor, a storage room of approximately 18 sqm completes the property — a rare and genuinely valuable addition in the context of the Florentine historic centre.

Location:

The apartment is positioned in the heart of Florence, on one of the most lived-in and characterful stretches of the historic centre — steps from San Frediano, with its artisan workshops, historic cafés and the vibrant cultural life of the Oltrarno, and with direct views over the Lungarno. A lift serves the building, making the apartment as practical for daily use as it is architecturally distinguished.
