Ambrogio

The Ambrogio Penthouse is located in one of the most renowned residential neighborhoods of Florence. Right in the center of the city and offering the opportunity of authentic Italian living this penthouse gives its guest the biggest of privileges: being walking distance to a number of restaurants, shops, bakeries, ice cream shops or, in one word, life.

The Penthouse crowns an historical building, a 15th century noble palace built by one of the most thought after renaissance architects located a few steps from Palazzo Vecchio. Its terraces dominate the city, affording a sweeping view over the unique panorama of Florence's most splendid monuments. A beautiful courtyard with a fountain leads to the elevator that goes directly to the apartment. From the terraces of the penthouse, the view of the city's monuments conveys a feeling of airy detachment. By night Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo, Santa Croce, the Bargello, the Badia, and the lights on the hills of San Miniato and Fiesole appear above the dark roofs of the city.

The apartment, recently restored and adapted to modern standards of comfort, offers the truly Tuscan interior in its simplicity and linearity combined with elegance. The atmosphere of Florence is buzzy, happy, in fact this type of location really adds value to the beauty of the property itself, a fabulous 600 square meters of living space in classic yet contemporary style and luxurious furnishing. While internationally famous attractions are just minutes away and an easy walk, the local concierge will be available to book private cars to explore the surrounding areas as well, including those off the beaten path villages that should never be missed. They will provide a complete list of events and concerts happening all around the property during their stay, while our selection of recommended bars and restaurants will be sent prior to arrival.

Florence is an open-air exhibit of art and culture. It is known worldwide as the heart of the Renaissance, and the home of fine art and literature. Today, the essence of Florence could safely be said to exist in the city's constantly restored art and architecture, their appearance and functionality altered only by their numbers in years - signature examples include Fillippo Brunelleschi's Duomo and Michelangelo's timeless statue of David, arguably the most recognizable and widely known image of western culture to date. The romantic Ponte Vecchio, one of Europe's last fully stone bridges, or even Giotto's bell tower might give Florence the notoriety it deserves. None of these structures, artistic, architectural, or functional would stand, being worthy of generations of detailed restoration, if it weren't for the thinking of Renaissance men and thinkers including Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, or Dante Aligheri: their impact changed our visual and literary world forever, and Florence is the city in which it all began.
