POINTS OF INTEREST / DISTANCES
Florence Lux Apartment is a wide apartment in one of the historical Florentine palazzos. It has a superb location right in the heart of Florence, just a few steps from Piazza della Signoria, the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio. Its origins date to the 12th century but its actual form is mainly derived from a 17th century renovation by the Marchese Anton Maria Bartolommei and designed by architecht Ferdinando Tacca who also signed the stunning entrance. During the war German troops mined and blew up all the surroundings of Ponte Vecchio, including this palazzo. The Torre dei Girolami one of the highest towers remaining in Florence, adjacent to the Palazzo and belonging to the same estate, collapsed on it destroying the upper floors. These floors were rebuilt immediately after the war using the debris of the tower.
For the lofty living room at the top floor Ilaria Miani did a radical restoration of all the superstructures as partitions, false ceilings, layers of paint to highlight the original structure made of bricks and pillars from the tower. From the sofa you have views from S. Stefano church through the blooming terrace, and at on the opposite you can see the tower of Palazzo Vecchio.
