Frescoed Piano Nobile In The Palazzo Vivarelli Colonna, Florence

In the very heart of the Santa Croce district, in Florence, this estate of the very highest calibre, situated in the historic wing of Palazzo Vivarelli Colonna, is one of the most fascinating luxury property opportunities on the Florentine scene, ushering in a new paradigm for living in the Tuscan capital. This flat occupies the entire majestic piano nobile, spanning an area of 600 sqm, where monumental spaces meet a priceless artistic heritage comprising original frescoes and stucco work. With a layout featuring three master suites and four bathrooms, the residence has been designed to combine grand prestige with a refined and cultured lifestyle. This exclusive urban retreat forms part of an ambitious restoration project undertaken in 2023 and due for completion in 2026, aimed at blending the building’s centuries-old heritage with the highest standards of contemporary luxury and dedicated concierge services.

Entirely listed by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, this architectural complex presents itself in a monumental guise that bears witness to the centuries-old legacy of Tuscany’s most illustrious families. The ambitious restoration project, guided by exceptional methodological rigour, aims to preserve the priceless heritage of original stucco work and frescoed plasterwork, whilst enhancing the exquisite ‘pietra serena’ stone elements that define its external forms. The renovation masterfully combines the historic character of the rooms with contemporary finishes of the highest calibre and state-of-the-art building services, ensuring exceptional living comfort. The residence offers exclusive amenities such as a modern lift, a dedicated concierge service and a wellness area of the utmost prestige, to which will be added a communal swimming pool nestled within the seclusion of the palace’s historic gardens.

The layout of the rooms is characterised by extraordinary natural light, which, filtering through big windows, enhances the splendour of the decorated surfaces and artistic details. The monumental heart of the property sees the former ballroom transformed into a majestic main drawing room, flanked by a second reception room of striking elegance. The historic gallery has been reborn as a spectacular dining room, flooded with light thanks to French windows fitted with state-of-the-art glazing that offer a privileged view of the historic gardens. A grand corridor connects the living area to a separate kitchen and a guest bathroom, ensuring maximum functionality. The sleeping area is designed for absolute privacy and comprises three independent master suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom, the highlight being the master bedroom, complete with a dedicated walk-in wardrobe.

Its location in the heart of Florence’s city centre ensures prime proximity to the main monuments, museums and the most prestigious shopping streets, offering a lifestyle where cultural excellence and urban accessibility blend seamlessly.
