Borgo Pinti - Florence

this page
Accommodates 4 — 2 Bedrooms
— 2 Baths
Borgo Pinti is a typical narrow
medieval street in the heart of Florence’s centro storico.
Our flat, at the southern end of the street, is housed in
a 16th-century Medici building. The sculptor Giambologna had
his studio in this very building and indeed lived in our flat.
For sightseeing, the location
absolutely could not be better. Three blocks to the west is
the Duomo, its museum, Giotto’s Campanile, and the Baptistery
with the Ghiberti doors. To the east are the synagogue and
the Sant’Ambrogio covered market, Florence’s best.
To the south Santa Croce, the Bargello, Piazza della Signoria,
and the Uffizi. And to the north the Accademia (Michelangelo’s
David and Slaves), the Convent of San Marco (for the Fra Angelicos),
and our favorite open space in all Florence, the delightful
Piazza Santissima Annunziata.
The neighborhood is full of
practical things like shops of all sorts, banks, coffee bars,
post office, internet café, restaurants, and public
transport.
Our Borgo Pinti flat apartment
is on the second floor and has been carefully restored in
compliance with the Ministry of Art as it is classified as
a national treasure.
It is composed of an enormous,
imposing, indeed quite spectacular formal living room with
double-height frescoed ceilings; a separate dining room; brand-new
custom-built kitchen; two matrimonial bedrooms each with en-suite
bath; and laundry room. All the ceilings are double-volume;
some are frescoed and some are beamed. Floors are terracotta,
and walls are done in the old-fashioned waxed method. Amenities
include independent heating, A/C, washing machine, dishwasher,
and telephone.
While the bedrooms and baths
are not equal in size, we feel that this flat is excellent
for two couples. Families with children are welcomed, but
the flat is formal, and children must be well-behaved.
If you want something really
special in the very heart of Florence, please consider the
Borgo Pinti flat.
