Main Features
Description
In the prestigious setting of Palazzo di Bianca Cappello, one of the most fascinating and representative buildings of the Florentine Renaissance, we present an extraordinary residence of 261 sq m, located on the third and top floor with lift. A dwelling of great charm, where history, art and panorama meet in a unique context in the heart of Florence.
The apartment is located within the historic palace built between 1570 and 1574, traditionally attributed to the genius of Bernardo Buontalenti and wanted by Grand Duke Francesco I de' Medici as a residence for his beloved Bianca Cappello, a Venetian noblewoman who later became Grand Duchess of Tuscany. The building represents one of the most important testimonies of late Renaissance civil architecture and still retains the charm of its noble origins.
The apartment opens onto an elegant entrance that leads to the first, magnificent living room, embellished by a prestigious fresco by Maestro Pietro Annigoni, an element of exceptional artistic value that confers further exclusivity to the property. From here you access the kitchen, characterized by pleasant views of the internal courtyards and suggestive views of the roofs of Florence, as well as a comfortable guest bathroom.
The living room then extends towards the main area of the apartment, consisting of two bedrooms, a large double living room and a further corridor that disengages the sleeping area, where there are two bathrooms, a practical under-stair room and the staircase leading to the upper level.
On the upper floor, there is a reserved and versatile environment consisting of a small bedroom with en suite bathroom, a small dressing room and access to the true gem of the property: a spectacular balcony terrace from which to enjoy a 360-degree view of the Florentine skyline, with glimpses of the Duomo’s Dome, Giotto’s Campanile, the Boboli Gardens, Palazzo Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti, the hills of Bellosguardo and the majestic Basilica of Santo Spirito. A panorama that encapsulates the very essence of Florence.
Completing the property is a spacious cellar of 37 sq m, located in the underground premises of the palace, ideal as a storage room or ancillary service space.
What immediately makes Palazzo di Bianca Cappello recognizable is its extraordinary graffito facade, decorated with works attributed to Bernardino Poccetti, which for over four centuries confer a unique character to the building, making it one of the most fascinating examples of Florentine decorative art.
This residence represents a rare opportunity for those who wish to live within one of the most iconic palaces in Florence, immersed in history, art and a context of absolute prestige, with an unparalleled panoramic view of the city.
