"Florence Design Apartment" is especially set up to provide very spacious and well furnished accommodation for two guests. It is located in a very desirable residential neighbourhood just 200m from Ponte San Niccolò and the River Arno. A 15 minute walk takes you to the fabulous views of Piazzale Michelangelo and all the sights of the historic centre of Florence are within a stunning 30 minute walk.
The large living area includes an open kitchen and living room. The large bedroom is furnished with a Queen sized bed, ample closet, nightstands with Tolomedo lamps. The separate dining room seats four. There are two marble tiled bathrooms, are each fitted with a shower, toilet, bidet and sink. Two exceptional features of this home are the abundance of natural light provided by the many windows and the unique off-white tile flooring, a specialty of the architect.
The owners live here part of each year, so are committed to providing for guests the same high standard of accommodation as they desire for themselves. Guests can expect a high standard of service, personalized to the degree that suits their needs. This apartment would be of interest to experienced, discerning travelers seeking quality accommodation offering extras at a reasonable price. This is not a pure investment property and is not listed on the popular, volume oriented listing service now used by so many.
