In Florence’s exclusive residential district of Bellosguardo, this distinguished apartment occupies the second, third and fourth floors, as well as the evocative tower, of a historic villa designed by the celebrated architect Adolfo Coppedé between 1896 and 1899. An exceptional expression of Florentine eclecticism from the pre-Liberty period, the building follows the curve of its setting with a distinctive trapezoidal plan and combines mannerist-inspired façades in pietra forte rustication, exposed terracotta, stone detailing and imposing arches. The richly finished octagonal panoramic turret gives the residence a memorable architectural identity. Offering 300 sqm of internal surface, the property comprises four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Carefully curated interiors retain the atmosphere of a period home while offering a warm, welcoming ambience. Numerous windows bring abundant natural light and frame captivating views across Renaissance Florence. A convenient lift connects the various levels. Above the sleeping area, an enchanting altana provides a covered 40 sqm terrace conceived for outdoor entertaining, complete with a kitchenette, barbecue and oven. From this refined convivial space, the outlook extends over Florence’s rooftops on one side and towards the unspoilt countryside and woodland surrounding the city on the other. A rare residence for those seeking historic character, privacy and panoramic living in one of Florence’s most sought-after hillside neighbourhoods.
