About this property
From the moment you step into the elegant Palazzo, Apartment Benci welcomes you with warmth and refined charm. Located on the second floor and accessible by lift or a short flight of stairs, this beautifully restored two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment is an ideal retreat for up to four guests. A hallway with a mirrored cloak cupboard sets the tone for the thoughtful details that follow, leading into a sunlit open-plan living area finished in calming neutrals and terracotta tones. The space is enhanced by chequerboard parquet flooring, tall shuttered windows with views over Via dei Benci, and an enchanting frescoed ceiling that adds a true touch of Florentine grandeur.
The sitting and dining areas are perfectly arranged for comfort and style, featuring plush seating, ghost chairs, a hexagonal dining table, and a sleek, fully equipped kitchen. Each bedroom offers its own unique atmosphere—one in soft mushroom tones with an opulent mirror-panelled bed surround, and the other in slate green and ivory with the flexibility of twin or double configuration. Both showcase magnificent ceiling frescoes, generous storage, and luxurious marble bathrooms, one separate and one en-suite, complete with rain showers and elegant finishes. Apartment Benci blends historic artistry with modern comfort, making it a serene and memorable base in the heart of Florence.
