In the precious silence of Palazzo Barberini, a noble Florentine residence already mentioned in 1531, a huge apartment opens up that tells of centuries of art and beauty. Overlooking Piazza Santa Croce, the beating heart of Florence, a space of over 400 m2 comes to life where Renaissance elegance dialogues with contemporary design.
Once the artist's studio of the master Pietro Annigoni (1933-1952), today it is the perfect place to experience the magic of Florence with intensity and beauty.

The space
The accommodation, served by a large and easy staircase on the second and last floor (no elevator) of this magnificent historic building, opens to a large and bright living room of over 80m², furnished with refined furniture of high Italian design.
Three large windows offer breathtaking views of the Basilica of Santa Croce and the lively atmosphere of the square.
Upstairs, accessible via a scenic internal staircase in corten steel and glass, there is a magnificent private loggia. The loggia also overlooks Piazza di Santa Croce and is equipped with an outdoor kitchen, making it the ideal place for a morning coffee, an aperitif at sunset or an unforgettable dinner immersed in the magic of Florence.
The sleeping area consists of 3 elegant double bedrooms designed to ensure maximum comfort. Each room has its own private bathroom complete with all accessories. Another 3 bathrooms serve other areas of the house.
The common areas include a fully equipped kitchen (in addition to the second kitchen in the loggia), an elegant dining room, a private study and a comfortable TV room, perfect for accommodating families or groups of friends.
The entire residence, embellished with refined details and modern and contemporary works of art, offers an exclusive, sophisticated and deeply welcoming character.

Other things to note
The apartment is located in the heart of the historic center of Florence, in Piazza Santa Croce. From its origins, the large square was the scene of festivals, meetings and city celebrations. In particular, as early as the 14th century, but especially in the 15th century, jousts and horse tournaments were held there. From the end of the fifteenth century, the square was chosen to host the game of "costume football", the historical Florentine football. The square is still used today for special events, often concerts.
Within walking distance are the main points of interest of the historic center such as the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, the Bargello and the Lungarni.
The location is ideal for exploring the city on foot, immersing yourself in its rich history and surrounded by culture.
Perfect for families or groups of friends (up to 6 guests) eager to have an authentic experience in the heart of Florence and for design enthusiasts.
