A beautiful Florentine apartment in Palazzo Bardi in the area known as Lungarno Torrigiani. There are many traditional Florentine and antique features and one of the bedrooms overlooks the river and the Loggiato degli Uffizi. <p>
The furnishings are in pretty blues and rich reds and the view from the living room window includes Ponte Vecchio to the left and the Uffizi and the Piazza della Signoria directly opposite; trully magnificent. The pictures on the walls and the details around the room give visitors the sense of stepping into a their own home.
