In an enchanting 16th-century palazzo in the heart of Florence's city centre, between the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria, we find this elegant luxury flat for sale, which embodies the perfect combination of history and modernity. With a surface area of 230 square metres on one level on the second floor of the building, this sumptuous flat offers a unique living experience with two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The flat is located on the second floor of a historic building dating back to the first half of the 16th century, which was the residence of the Ramirez de Montalvo, a noble family of Spanish origin that arrived in Florence in 1539. The residence covers 230 sqm and is accessible via the inner courtyard of the palace, ensuring peace and privacy.
The entrance opens onto a large and bright living room, characterised by high ceilings with wooden beams, parquet flooring and a striking bioethanol fireplace. A skilfully restored 17th-century fresco further enriches this space, adding a touch of elegance and refinement. The living area is completed by a bright dining room with an elegantly furnished terracotta floor, which gives access to a study with a multi-purpose loft, ideal as a reading room or guest room. From here one encounters the first double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and bathroom with marble and wood finishes. From the main living room, in the left wing of the dwelling there is instead an eat-in kitchen with parquet flooring and convenient built-in storage, a second double bedroom with antique terracotta flooring, and finally a second bathroom.
Each room is meticulously maintained and bathed in natural light, enriched with high-quality furnishings. The renovation of the property has been carefully executed, ensuring a harmonious distribution of space and a perfect balance between classic and contemporary elements. From the original terracotta floor to the parquet flooring and the exposed beams, every detail has been carefully selected to create a cosy and refined atmosphere. In addition, the presence of a modern home automation system and an alarm system adds a touch of security and comfort to the property.
The flat's privileged location, in the very heart of the city, makes it easy to reach all of Florence's main attractions, while enjoying unparalleled tranquillity thanks to its views of the palace's inner courtyard. This elegant flat is a rare opportunity to live in the heart of Renaissance Florence, in an environment of luxury and refinement, where history and modernity blend harmoniously.
