Located just behind the church of San Lorenzo and almost exactly at the entrance to the Medici Chapels, this noble apartment belongs to a prominent Florentine family. From the front doors guests enter a hallway decorated in the nineteenth century: worthy to note the wrought iron gates and, facing the stairway, a doorway engraved with the coat arms of the family. The first floor is decorated with precious wall paintings.

A LOCAL CONCIERGE’S GUIDE TO FLORENCE

CULTURE
- Florence center of town (0’)
- Dome of Florence (4’) on foot
- Train station (6’) on foot
- Ponte Vecchio (10’) on foot
- Uffizi Gallery (12’) on foot
- Palazzo Pitti (15’) on foot

FOOD & WINE
A number of close-by restaurants and trattorias serve organic, local cuisine. We recommend breakfast or drinks in Konnubio a few steps away from the entrance of the Palazzo. Meat lovers will love La Giostra, or the new and happening Regina Bistecca, whereas young palates will be surprised by the Ora d’Aria menu.

Vegetarians, as well as those who love a vibrant atmosphere, will find satisfaction in l’Ov. Two culinary experiences are worth a trip to Florence per se: Enoteca Pinchiorri -for the cuisine, for the wines, for being one of the top restaurants in the world - and the Teatro del Sale, by world famous chef Fabio Picchi, and his wife, the magnificent performer Maria Cassi, to get a glimpse of what ‘synergy of Art and Cuisine’ means.

FAMILY

Possible activities include walking, shopping, eating and wine tasting –
your local concierge can help guests hire bicycles, fiat 500, boats in the Arno river. Time with family is celebrated in Italy, in fact almost every activity here is kid-friendly.

NIGHT LIFE
A plethora of cocktail bars and wine bars await you in Florence. Our pick is Obica.
