Located inside a very charming noble building once called Palazzo Corsini ai Tintori which dates back to the 17th Century, you will be staying in the heart of one of Florenceâs most historical districts where the area takes its name from the monumental church of Santa Croce.
This property is located on first floor with elevator and can comfortably sleep up to 12 guests (4 bedrooms and sofa beds in the living room). The apartment is set all on one floor and measures around 3000 square feet. This home away from home boasts a genuinely Florentine feel and character, bespoke furnishings and top-quality appliances, and an overall luxury chic essential style. Its contemporary design concept is inspired by a minimalist mood, combining clean cut lines, simplicity and a refined colour palette that enhances the wondrous architectural features this historical Florentine palazzo has to offer.
The apartment has been superbly restored and decorated by designer and architect Ilaria Sassolini and her team, and the superb frescoes have been restored by one of Florenceâs most talented and renowned local artisans. Great attention to detail made during the restoration to seamlessly blend original and modern materials has created an overall totally unique ambience. Modern comforts abound including air conditioning, independent heating settings in each room during the colder months, high speed WiFi, latest generation TVs and a high spec sound system.
The apartment boasts a very spacious kitchen with large stainless fridge-freezer and endless work top space, a worthy setting for true culinary magic. And what better to do so than when in Tuscany?! Learn to cook like a local in your own authentic kitchen or why not sit down and relax and enjoy a private chef dinner. This space is the perfect spot to gather with friends or family for breakfast or sit down and tuck into a delicious meal after a busy day sightseeing the city of Florence. You will find our personal trove of family recipes, so you can recreate the enticing aromas of the traditional Italian cuisine, glass of wine in hand, surrounded by the people you love. The kitchen is connected to both living rooms, each one with its own unique concept and âfunctionâ. One living room is more informal and ârelaxingâ, furnished with large spacious sofas (that convert into sofa beds), chaise-longues and comfortable upholstered poufs. This room looks out over onto Corso Tintori. The other, more formal, boasts sofas and chairs, more suited to intimate conversations or after dinner cocktails, made easy with an elegant wet bar that makes serving drinks a delight. This room looks out onto the inner garden space in the courtyard.
The apartment boasts four luxury bedrooms, each of which has a beautiful en-suite bathroom to ensure utmost privacy and commodity. Each bedroom has been exquisitely interior designed (with hand-crafted wardrobes for maximum design and functionality) and decorated with their own subtle themes and colour palette. Each one boasts a grand headboard, each crafted by our own team of local artisans using quality genuine Italian leather, and each one with its own distinct colour to match the ancient frescoes that adorn the ceilings. Beautiful marble tiles adorn each bathroom which boast a walk-in shower.
Quality parquet wooden flooring abounds creating a very warm and inviting atmosphere and the choice of lighting throughout will fully complement the apartmentâs magnificent, frescoed ceilings and decorative ancient walls.
Last but not least enjoy a morning coffee or an evening cocktail in the inner courtyard with beautiful vertical garden, furnished with quality table and chairs.
