NOW WITH AN ADDITIONAL EN-SUITE BEDROOM!‘
One doesn't come to Italy for niceness… one comes for life!’ - E.M. Forster, A Room with a View
FILIPPO AND THE TEAM HAVE TAKEN VOV TO FLORENCE with the divine ‘Dimora Nova’ offering Firenze at your feet!Uber-centrally situated atop an imposing age-patinated palazzo on the Corso dei Tintori (Street of the Dyers) close to the Uffizi Gallery in the Santa Croce part of town, Dimora Italia’s first Florentine foothold - conceived in partnership with ArchFlorence - raises the bar for prestige rentals in this Renaissance bastion of art and style.
Deeply rooted in a district with culture coursing through its veins, the freshly restored Dimora Nova stands proud above its peers.
Majoring in patrician grace and gentility behind its vintage parchment-hued historic facade, and mirroring all the well-bred finesse of Florence and her fashion-minded ‘cittadini’ in its sensitively calibrated collection of deluxe hand-crafted furniture, sumptuous fabrics, and an array of contemporary accoutrements to make the savviest traveller smile, the chic Dimora Nova hosts 6 (+2) guests with a terrace in the hushed and calm surroundings of the top floor reached by lift.
On kicking off your shoes the fizz and frenzy of Florence are left far behind as you make yourself at home.
Air-conditioned throughout for easy-breezy summer chilling - yet comforting and coddling when the outside temperatures fall
- the 3 bedroom / 3 bathroom beamed accommodation with Wi-Fi comprises -
- An entrance vestibule hallway with polished wooden flooring and a splendid full-height multi panelled wall mirror increasing the perception of light and space and leading directly into…
- The apartment’s main kitchen / dining room lit by sky-light and beautifully presented in gentle lavender blues, with banquette and ‘ghost chair’ seating for 6 at table, and an expertly crafted, fully equipped wood and marble kitchen housing a range of Bosch appliances, including a dishwasher, microwave and induction hob for cooking up your Tuscan treats!
- An elegant sitting room attired in easy on the eye colours and textiles and furnished with gorgeous plissé wall lights and a large L-shaped sofa bed set beneath a newly commissioned original painting on linen of Brunelleschi’s Dome (entitled ‘Il Cupola’) by talented artist and antique dealer Angelo Raffaelle Marturano. A curved screen TV with SKY allows you to catch up while you put your feet up, and there’s a Bose stereo system to hand for playing your personal music of choiceA few steps up to glazed and draped doors opening to reveal…
- A charming lantern-lit, pergola-topped terrace* for two, planted with jasmine (particularly lovely in bloom) and boasting the most fabulous views across terracotta roof tiles to the River Arno, the Torre di San Niccolò and the Oltrano beyond
- Created in late 2021 to enhance the apartment’s already considerable charms, and offering direct access (up a few steps) onto the apartment’s sunny furnished terrace (see above)… a supremely stylish principal bedroom, impressively dressed in a linen and whale-blue colour palette and with a double bed (which can be converted into twins at your request), a mirror-fronted wardrobe and its own luxuriously appointed and elegantly lit en-suite bathroom in whale-blue Marmorino with marble-clad bathtub, separate shower and a bijou terrace overlooking a private courtyard
- A pampering second double bedroom for slumber of the most delicious sort… presented in teal, pebble grey and burnt umber tones, with custom-designed twin beds set upon a raised level (which can be converted into a double at your request), luxurious Jim Thompson wall-coverings, an inbuilt wardrobe, electronically operated high-level windows, plus a well-dressed single sofa bed to the fore- A sparkling separate bathroom serving the second bedroom (or the apartment in general) decked out in mocha Marmorino with snazzy Art-Deco style marble flooring, a chunky green Travertine wash basin and a smart, white marble-clad shower
- A cupboard-housed Bosch combined washing machine / dryer, handy for longer stays- A third double bedroom - as splendid as the rest - with a romantic double bed in opulent gray and rich amber velvet topped with a typically Italian and very quaint wrought iron ‘baldacchino’ (canopy), plus a smart en-suite bathroom (again in mocha Marmorino) with nut brown Travertine wash basin, inlaid chequerboard flooring and a large luxury shower easily big enough for two!And on the landing before the doorway leading into Dimora Nova…
- The most darling and cosiest studio-cum-bedroom you could wish for, clothed from top-to-toe in Morris & Co.’s ‘Bird and Pomegranate’ design and with a double sofa bed and writing desk - it’s your little nest amongst the trees!* Perfect for watching the fabulous ‘Fochi San Giovanni’ fireworks held at Piazzale Michelangelo every 24 June
OUR COMMENT
Feed your deepest fantasies of being footloose in Florence at this game-changing apartment now yours through VOV!
A magical city - a Renaissance tapestry come to life - steeped in culture and a cuisine that ranks amongst the finest in the world! And now home to Dimora Nova - gently shielded from the bustle, with breathtaking discoveries waiting at every turn
…A short walk to the architectural masterpiece that is Florence’s iconic Duomo (but a little more effort is required to reach the top!), plus a stone’s throw to the Basilica and sunny Piazza Santa Croce, and to the overwhelmingly spectacular, statue-dominated Piazza della Signoria for a generous helping of people-watching and a dose of Dolce Vita. A short trip across the Arno to the wonderful Pitti Palace and its treasures, the bucolic Boboli Gardens, and the unmatched city vistas from the Piazzale Michelangelo.
Cafes, bars, restaurants, artisans and markets are woven through its ancient streets, while the handy Conad supermarket opposite satisfies self-catering needs, and a nearby car park provides parking if arriving on four wheels.Promising the seamless service and support that you’ve come to expect from us in Venice, plus there’s a friendly on-site custodian to ensure your apartment remains tip-top!
Do get in touch if you require details of transfers between Venice and Florence, or if you have any other queries - we’ll be delighted to help
Beds will be arranged as either doubles or twins as shown in the photos. The possibility of turning a double bed into twins or vice versa can be found in the description and must be requested at least 7 days before arrival.

Absolutely beautiful, luxury apartment. Everything was such high quality — from the linens to the furnishings to the Ortigia products. We loved the location and the view. Our host, Camellia, was incredibly friendly and helpful after our long journey. There was nothing we needed. The only problem was that it set the bar high for our subsequent airbnbs. Highly recommend!

Very minor issues: The only thing that we didn’t like were the automatic lights in the 2nd bedroom by the washing machine. We couldn’t figure out how to turn that function off. Luckily we weren’t sleeping in there because the lights came on full blast with motion, even at night. Also the drying rack was broken, but we were able to hang the clothes to dry in the closet.

Our stay at this home was absolutely perfect in every way, deserving more than just five stars! Situated in the heart of Florence, we were just steps away from all the iconic landmarks, museums, shopping, and restaurants, making our exploration of this beautiful city incredibly convenient, the location was perfect. The home itself was nothing short of GORGEOUS. The moment we stepped inside, we were in awe of the luxurious amenities and tasteful decor. Cleanliness was impeccable throughout the entire property. From the linens to the bathrooms, everything sparkled and gave us the confidence that we were in a meticulously cared-for space. From morning cappuccino to evening wine, the views from the balcony were amazing. The hosts were wonderful. They were attentive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about our experience.
From the incredible location to the luxurious amenities, the pristine cleanliness, stunning views, and gracious hosts, this experience exceeded all our expectations. We are so grateful. |

Gorgeous place with absolute top of the line finishes, exquisite lighting features, beautiful high end furnishings and bedding, electric shades, sunlight blocking shutters and breathtaking views. I am very picky and this place, beautifully photographed, is even better than pictured because you cannot appreciate things in the photos like the quality of the bathroom fixtures, the quality of the cabinetry, high end memory foam pillows, the automatic turn off/on lighting and the stunning views, to name a few. The kitchen is very well stocked for real cooking. Beautiful location off the river. Wish we would have booked it for a longer stay!

Dimora degli Affreschi… An entire Florentine palazzo transformed DON TOMMASO Our Florence palazzo restoration has finally reached fruition near the banks of the Arno in the thriving district of Santa Croce Promising a truly pampering Florentine experience and spanning the entire 5 storeys of the handsome 19th-century Palazzo Fossi beside the art-filled Horne Museum on the ancient Via dei Benci, this massively ambitious project is now opening its doors to its 10 seriously sumptuous Dimora Italia Collection apartments. Sensitively reconfigured over a 3-year period by a highly skilled team of experts with a deep understanding and appreciation of the palazzo’s historic fabric, the apartments all follow a contemporary Florentine aesthetic and are primed to become our flagship properties within the top-tier rentals market. A treasury of exceptional city-centre bases radiating positive energy and collectively named Dimora degli Affreschi (Residence of the Frescoes), its accommodation ranges from a spectacular 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment showcasing towering ceilings cloaked in a vivid expanse of classical frescoes, through to a stylishly attired 3 bedroom / 4 bathroom duplex with roof timbers and a pair of terraces peacefully situated to the rear, while the entirely bespoke interiors have been curated by ArchFlorence, the brilliantly gifted architectural designers we’ve partnered over the past 10+ years. Centrally located within a stone’s throw of the Uffizi Gallery and conveniently close to – yet not overwhelmed by – an array of small shops, cafes and restaurants, Dimora degli Affreschi can host up to 56 guests when reserved for exclusive use, while all pristine spaces within have been meticulously prepped for your pleasure. Boasting top-notch comforts and all the hallmarks of Dimora Italia Collection’s styling including air-conditioning, Wi-Fi connection, custom-made fixtures and delicious decor, the apartments are individually named in honour of the owners’ adored offspring and include the quietly elegant: DON TOMMASO (SLEEPS 6) 1st Floor – 3 bedrooms / 3 bathrooms Reached via a few steps up from the main palazzo entrance with stairs and / or lift to the 1st Floor, this spacious yet cosy and welcoming apartment comprises: A stylish and inviting sitting / dining room dressed in rich terracotta enjoying plenty of natural light courtesy of its 3 tall, south-facing, shuttered side windows overlooking the tranquil Via Mozza, furnished with a pair of classical-style sofas in natural colours and a dining suite hosting 8 guests with ghost chairs, banquette seating and mirrored surround set beneath an extraordinarily beautiful and very detailed frescoed ceiling A semi-open and well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances just to the rear of the dining space And connected by internal corridor running towards the rear of the palazzo and overlooking Via Mozza… A supremely elegant principal bedroom in slate blue and ochre with pretty canopied double bed, a pair of mirrored wardrobes and its own sleek separate bathroom in Lewis & Wood’s Fan Flower wallcovering with marble rain shower and a handy washing machine / dryer concealed within an adjacent cupboard A similarly styled 2nd double bedroom with central ceiling fresco, a double bed, a walk-in closet to one side and a chic en suite bathroom in polished blue marmorino with rain shower in marble and gorgeous diamond ceramic tiling A cosy and very restful 3rd double bedroom to the rear of the apartment dressed in natural linen and crimson colours with beautifully upholstered twin beds, wardrobe plus a bijou marble en suite with bathtub and shower over On the ground floor there is a gym area with a mirrored wall, available to our guests, with two stationary bikes (one classic and one elliptical), weights and mats. * Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay together at the palazzo but in separate apartments?
