This is a superb apartment in a perfect location, a few steps from the Ponte Vecchio. The apartment has five well-sized rooms: the living-dining room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom all opening onto the central entry hall, plus a 10x4-meter (32x12-foot) east-facing private terrace off the kitchen with views of the tower of the Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo. The apartment is in the historic Torre del Amidei on the 5th floor European, 7th floor US (with elevator), and opens to the both east and west, allowing excellent through-ventilation and sunlight throughout the day, as well as rooftop views across Florence. Despite its central location, and the number of tourists that are in Florence at every time of the year, the rooms opening onto the Viccolo dell' Oro to the west (bedroom and living-dining room) are surprisingly quiet, and the east-opening terrace is deep enough that sounds from the busier Via For Santa Maria do not come into the apartment. All the kitchen and bathroom fixtures and equipment works well, the bed is firm, and there is plenty of storage space for clothes. What more can I say—a great apartment in a great city.
