In the heart of the historical centre of Florence, just a stone’s throw from Piazza della Signoria and Piazza Santa Croce, luxury apartment for sale.

The property has been masterfully renovated by the current owners: the living room, in particular, features a ceiling of considerable height (8 m at the highest point) with wooden trusses and an original terracotta floor with hexagonal tiles and star-shaped decorations. Four large windows open onto the street below and ensure an extremely bright environment. The original fireplace, made of engraved and finely decorated stone, is still present in the hall.
