Location
This short term apartment in Florence is located in a palazzo on the elegant Piazza Antinori in the Duomo district. The palazzo dates back to the 14th Century, a time when the city was just beginning to expand beyond the Roman central nucleus. At that time, Via Tornabuoni and Piazza Antinori were side streets leading towards the Florence city limits. It was only in the mid-15th Century that the location around this apartment rental in Florence became the address for wealthy Florentines who bought and refurbished palaces to turn them into stately homes.

Exterior Description
Throughout the centuries the palazzo was remodeled extensively, acquiring its present form in the mid-18th century. In the shops nearby one can find a baker, butcher, green grocer, coffee and pastry shops, hairdresser, dry cleaner, and a plethora of excellent restaurants.

Interior Description
(130 m2) 2nd floor (with lift): This apartment has a spacious sitting room overlooking the fa?ade of the church of San Gaetano. At night the church is beautifully floodlit, and the large, white marble Medici crest (from which the apartment takes its name) is visible directly opposite the sitting room, creating a stunning effect. The apartment features wood floors, high ceilings and lovely paintings of different types of birds.

One step from the landing leads into a large rectangular hall, painted in a soft peach tone. The antique furniture and carpets and the ornamental brass wall lamps all contribute to an air of quiet elegance and luxury. To the right of the entrance is the first bedroom with twin beds (can be made into queen bed on request). The room is decorated in soft ocher and terracotta, with delightful prints on the walls and a pretty and spacious painted wardrobe in one corner. Opposite the entrance is a large blue-tiled bathroom with tub and hand-held shower. The hallway leads to the very large sitting room, with its impressive view over the Church of San Gaetano. The color palette is a mixture of soft greens, spicy reds, and rusts. Two sofas and two large arm chairs create a cozy corner, with side tables and beautifully painted chinoiserie panels. Beautiful period prints of Medici Villas adorn the walls.

Off of the living room is the small but fully equipped kitchen; leading into the kitchen is a small antechamber with a balcony window looking out onto the church. Behind the sitting room is the double bedroom (queen bed or two twin beds on request) decorated in mint green. The room has an elegant en suite bathroom in cream tiles and a tub and hand held shower.
