15th-century palazzo apartment, florence – Tuscany
Exquisite Oltrarno residence with vaulted ceilings, marble finishes and bespoke interiors, moments from the historic Boboli Gardens. Nestled within the timeless allure of the Oltrarno district, just a short stroll from the Boboli Gardens and the La Specola Museum, this property of approximately 540 square feet represents a jewel of rare beauty set within a prestigious 15th-century palace. This ground-floor residence, accessed via a discreet and private communal courtyard, has undergone a meticulous restoration that masterfully blends Renaissance heritage with contemporary opulence. The primary salon unfolds as a dramatic, light-filled volume where soaring cross-vaulted ceilings are accentuated by recessed LED lighting. Within this space, a minimalist designer kitchen and warm oak parquet flooring create an atmosphere that is both inviting and profoundly sophisticated. The architectural ingenuity is further evidenced by a refined glass partition with industrial steel profiles, which separates the living area from the master suite while preserving visual fluidity and the play of natural light. The sleeping quarters are adorned with bespoke botanical wallpaper—a nod to the nearby Specola—while the bathroom is a masterclass in material excellence, clad in expansive, beautifully veined marble slabs that frame a generous walk-in shower. This turnkey home is completed by a functional walk-in wardrobe and fitted with state-of-the-art air conditioning and new fixtures, ensuring modern comfort within a setting of peerless historical prestige.
