From the moment you enter this stunning Palazzo, you'll feel instantly at home. On the second floor, you will find the charming Apartment Benci boasting two bedrooms and two bathrooms, perfect for a group of up to four guests. Accessible via a few steps up from the main entrance or conveniently by lift, this sunlit abode offers a truly delightful experience.
As you enter, a hallway greets you, complete with a mirrored cloak cupboard that adds a touch of elegance and convenience. The open-plan main living area is situated towards the front of the Palazzo. This beautifully presented space captivates with its serene neutral and terracotta tones. The wooden chequerboard parquet flooring adds warmth underfoot, while three tall, shuttered west-facing windows bathe the room in natural light. From here, you can enjoy a splendid view of the Palazzo's decorative balcony and the Via dei Benci beyond.
The sitting area provides ample comfortable seating, while the dining area features stylish ghost chairs and a hexagonal table accommodating up to six guests. A streamlined, well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances completes the space, and if you glance upward, you'll be enchanted by the magnificent, frescoed ceiling—an authentic taste of Florentine heaven.
On either side of the main living area, you'll discover the bedrooms, each with unique appeal. The principal bedroom exudes brightness and allure, dressed in elegant mushroom and buttermilk tones. The focal point is undoubtedly the spectacular frescoed ceiling, complemented by a double bed adorned with tailored upholstery and an antiqued mirror-panelled surround. Guests will find ample storage space in the extensive wardrobe, perfect for those who like to pack a variety of outfits for any occasion.
Adjacent to the main living area, a separate luxurious bathroom awaits. Crafted in marble, it features soft lighting, and a spacious rain shower enveloped in mocha herringbone ceramic tiling, offering a soothing retreat. The second double bedroom is equally stylish, tastefully decorated in ivory and slate green. The breathtaking ceiling fresco immediately catches the eye, while a double bed, which can be separated into twins upon request, ensures a comfortable night's sleep. Ample storage is available, and an en-suite bathroom, encased in marble and adorned with sparkling fixtures, completes the picture, featuring a refreshing rain shower.
This exquisite second-floor apartment in the heart of the Palazzo is the perfect base, offering everything you need for an unforgettable stay!
