Dimora degli Affreschi… An entire Florentine palazzo transformed

DONNA LIPSI

NEW LISTING

Our Florence palazzo restoration has finally reached fruition near the banks of the Arno in the thriving district of Santa Croce

Promising a truly pampering Florentine experience and spanning the entire 5 storeys of the handsome 19th-century Palazzo Fossi beside the art-filled Horne Museum on the ancient Via dei Benci, this massively ambitious project is now opening its doors to its 10 seriously sumptuous Dimora Italia Collection apartments.

Sensitively reconfigured over a 3-year period by a highly skilled team of experts with a deep understanding and appreciation of the palazzo’s historic fabric, the apartments all follow a contemporary Florentine aesthetic and are primed to become our flagship properties within the top-tier rentals market.

A treasury of exceptional city-centre bases radiating positive energy and collectively named Dimora degli Affreschi (Residence of the Frescoes), its accommodation ranges from a spectacular 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment showcasing towering ceilings cloaked in a vivid expanse of classical frescoes, through to a stylishly attired 3 bedroom / 4 bathroom duplex with roof timbers and a pair of terraces peacefully situated to the rear, while the entirely bespoke interiors have been curated by ArchFlorence, the brilliantly gifted architectural designers we’ve partnered over the past 10+ years.

Centrally located within a stone’s throw of the Uffizi Gallery and conveniently close to – yet not overwhelmed by – an array of small shops, cafes and restaurants, Dimora degli Affreschi can host up to 56 guests when reserved for exclusive use, while all pristine spaces within have been meticulously prepared for your pleasure.

Boasting top-notch comforts and all the hallmarks of Dimora Italia Collection’s styling including air-conditioning, Wi-Fi connection, custom-made fixtures and delicious decor, the apartments are individually named in honour of the owners’ adored offspring and include the fabulous duplex:


DONNA LIPSI (SLEEPS 6)

3rd and 4th Floor – 3 bedrooms / 4 bathrooms

Reached via a few steps up from the main palazzo entrance with stairs and / or lift to the
3rd Floor, followed by internal stairs to the 4th Floor, this peaceful and spacious duplex apartment with terraces comprises:

An entrance hallway leading into…

A quietly elegant main sitting / dining room immaculately dressed in neutrals and silver blue and furnished with a luxurious (and very large!) L-shaped sofa for leisurely lounging after a busy day about town, a circular glass-topped dining suite hosting 6 guests and featuring a compact yet well-equipped and semi-separate kitchen to the side, perfect for the cooking enthusiasts in your party (be sure to visit the nearby Sant’ Ambrogio fresh food market – open 7am - 2pm every day except Sunday!)

An inner hallway with glazed door opening onto a balcony terrace overlooking a sleepy internal courtyard and surrounding terracotta rooftops

Internal wood and original stone stairs rise from the entrance hallway to the 4th Floor (the very top of the palazzo) where we find to our delight…

A further 2 gorgeous double bedrooms, both enjoying access onto a fabulous shared furnished terrace offering far-reaching views across the city roofscape towards the cypress-studded hills forming the skyline east of Florence…

One in gentle taupes with a beautifully upholstered double bed and a large and luxurious en suite bathroom with marble shower, bathtub and handy washing machine / dryer, the other in soft blue-greys with a double bed (which can be made into twins at your request) and an equally opulent en suite bathroom with sparkling tiled shower

PROPERTY PRÉCIS

An imposing Florentine palazzo brought up to date with aplomb!... and joining our hugely popular Dimora Nova Terrace nearby in raising our profile in this truly magical Renaissance city.

A gentle walk to the architectural masterpiece that is Florence’s iconic Duomo (but a little more effort is required to reach the top!), and close to the Basilica and sunny Piazza Santa Croce, and to the overwhelmingly spectacular, statue-dominated Piazza della Signoria for a generous helping of people-watching and a dose of Dolce Vita.

A short stroll along the nearby Ponte alle Grazie bridge crossing the Arno to the wonderful Pitti Palace and its treasures, the bucolic Boboli Gardens, and the unmatched city vistas from the Piazzale Michelangelo.


Artisans, markets, cafes, bars and restaurants are woven through the ancient streets (including the much loved ‘La Buchetta’ directly opposite and the rustic ‘Del Fagioli’ just around the corner!), while the handy Conad supermarket close by satisfies self-catering needs, and a nearby car park provides parking if arriving on four wheels.

Promising Dimora Italia’s 25 key ingredients – a guarantee of quality and exceptional customer service designed to make your time with us as favoloso as can be!
