Not far from the famous Ponte Vecchio in the beautiful historical centre of Florence in Italy, prestigious palazzo of ancient origins dating back to the XIV century and restored in 1566 by the architect Bernard Buontalenti commissioned by the Grand Duke Francesco I de 'Medici.
Noteworthy features of this Florence real estate is the ancient facade of the building that is decorated by Bernardino Poccetti that was subsequently enriched by Buontalenti with two kneeling windows with the typical bat with spread wings under the sill and a door surmounted by the coat of arms of the resident family. This facade is a precious and rare example of the beautiful decorations and graffiti that adorned the facades of most of the florentine buildings during the XVI century which now characterise one of the most exclusive homes in Tuscany.
The building has a surface of 670 m2 distribuited on four floors included a basement with a cellar and the third floor occupied by a panoramic terrace.
The ground floor is occupied by a garage and the guardian's apartment consisting of a bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen. On the upper levels there is the main house. During the restoration of the apartments there was a great deal of attention to finishing and details, such as the precious wall paintings and the ancient fireplaces.
