In the heart of Florence, just two steps from the beautiful Piazza Santa Croce, historic palazzo for sale with project for a luxury boutique hotel. The imposing property, set in a very quiet area of the center, is currently under development and has been thought as a 13-key hotel with a stunning internal courtyard and a breathtaking panoramic rooftop terrace. The property is also suited as a private house.
The property is close to shops, amenities and landmarks and services can be easily reached on foot in just a few minutes. The hospital of Careggi is just 15’ away as well, while trams stop regularly at the Santa Maria Novella train station.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
The building (1,300 sqm – 13,988 sqft) is a historic palazzo laid over five floors, currently under renovation with a project for a luxury boutique hotel. The structure dates back to 1564 (when it was built as a convent) and was later reworked and expanded in the 18th century.
The layout of the building, however, is not unfit to become a luxury private home in the heart of Florence. All the floors are connected by a convenient elevator.
- Basement: technical rooms, staff changing rooms, linen closet and pantries;
- Ground floor: entrance hall with lobby and reception, two sitting rooms (to be potentially used as restaurant and/or breakfast areas) with bar and guest bathroom, charming internal courtyard with glass arches, professional kitchen, two guest suites (each composed by bedroom, sitting area and bathroom);
- First floor: six guest bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, conference room with bathroom;
- Second floor: four guest bedrooms with en-suite bathroom (one with its own terrace);
- Third floor: guest suite with two bathrooms.
On the roof is a stunning panoramic terrace (63 sqm – 678 sqft) overlooking the rooftops of Florence and most of the monuments of the city center. This peaceful corner could easily be used a special dining venue for guests that require it.
