Palazzo Galli Tassi Collection - Loft 1

This residence offers the rare privilege of living inside a magnificent palace dating back to the 1500s, positioned in the true heart of Florence. The entrance sets a grand tone, as you ascend through an impressive 18th-century staircase that reflects the subsequent architectural evolutions of the estate. It is a space where the weight of Renaissance history meets a complete, high-end renovation, designed for those who appreciate historical character without compromising on modern comfort and absolute quiet.
The apartment reveals itself as a light-filled open space, characterized by exceptionally high ceilings with original wooden features that emphasize its grand proportions. A centerpiece of the living area is the expansive window overlooking Via dei Pandolfini - recently replaced with modern sound-proof system - which floods the room with natural light.
The layout is intelligently divided into two levels to maximize the sense of space. The main floor hosts a contemporary open-plan kitchen, a dining area, and a comfortable living room equipped with a smart TV, alongside a sleek, fully renovated bathroom. The sofa-bed can accommodate two additional guests when needed. Elevated above the living area, the mezzanine creates an intimate and airy retreat for the queen-size bed.
Please note that this apartment is located on the third floor of the historic palace and is accessible only by the grand stone staircase, as the original 16th-century structure does not include an elevator.
The apartment also features air conditioning and heating system.
Area
Located on Via dei Pandolfini, the apartment is perfectly positioned between the majesty of the Duomo and the vibrant atmosphere of Santa Croce. This specific pocket of the city center is celebrated for its blend of hidden artisan workshops, historic libraries, and some of the city’s most refined culinary experiences. Living here allows you to step out directly into the history of Florence, with every major landmark within a short, scenic walk, while the apartment itself remains a high, bright, and silent vantage point above the Florentine streets.
