The heart of the home is the spectacular historic living room, adorned with magnificent original coffered ceilings and period furnishings. The space is complemented by a fully equipped kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and an intimate, private inner terrace, ideal for relaxing.

Accessibility and Property Features
As this is a 16th-century building, the interior layout reflects the architecture of that era. The apartment is located on the first floor and is accessible via an entrance staircase; a second internal staircase leads to the main bathroom. Both staircases are equipped with sturdy and secure handrails. However, due to the presence of these steps and elevation changes typical of the era, the property is not suitable for people with limited mobility or who have difficulty climbing stairs.

House of the Grammar Teacher
If you look up “Via Garibaldi (Prato)” on Wikipedia, you’ll find that “at numbers 15–19 is the home and school
of Jacopo Visi, a grammar teacher, which features two stories and two small doorways from 1508 on the facade, arched and surmounted by niches with inscriptions.”

Anna Sanesi
The most important 20th-century painter from Prato, a student of Ottone Rosai, teacher, and director of the Leonardo School of Arts and Crafts in Prato, lived and worked in this house. Several original works are on display in her honour.

Important Notes and Administrative Requirements
In accordance with current Italian public safety regulations, you must submit copies of the identification documents for all guests staying at the property prior to check-in.
