Located on the fifth floor of a charming historic building (with an elevator) that overlooks the Orto Botanico or botanic garden of the University of Florence, the Giardino dei Semplici, which is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world, the apartment is also within easy walking distance of many amazing attractions. This includes the Accademia Gallery, famous for housing Michelangelo's David, the city’s science museum, and various other beautiful churches and museums. The Piazza del Duomo and the city's cathedral, meanwhile, is just a ten-minute walk away. For exploring the city and really making the most of your time in Florence, therefore, it is a perfect place to stay.
The apartment itself is also a true delight. High ceilings and plenty of windows mean that the rooms are bright and airy. There are marble and parquet floors, antiques and interesting works of art are dotted throughout, rich carpets pull together rooms, beautiful lamps and elaborate glass chandeliers offer warm light, and the large terrace gives guests a private space to enjoy meals and relax al fresco right in the centre of the city.
A well-equipped and cheery little kitchen opens directly out onto the lovely terrace and features a dining table, a dishwasher, a fridge-freezer, an oven with a stove top, a microwave, a coffee machine, a kettle, a large sink, and ample storage and counter space. A separate little dining room has another dining table that can seat four.
In addition to this there is a large living room with a sofa, two armchairs, and a television. This is possibly the most charming place in the house and perfectly balances the mixture of patterns in the soft furnishings, the palette of blues, reds, wood, and gold tones, and the careful placement of everything in the space to create an elegant and welcoming room. A little sun room also offers another space to relax and unwind with a good book or for a bit of peace and quiet.
Finally, there are the two bedrooms, both elegant and romantic double bedrooms with air-conditioning and charming antiques but one of which is much larger than the other and opens onto the aforementioned little sun room. Two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and the other with a shower, complete the apartment.
Another special feature of Orto Botanico Apartment With Terrace And Dome View is that the owner can arrange custom tours for your group upon request and at an additional fee - so if you want to have a built-in local guide upon arrival, it’s a great idea!
