Dimora degli Affreschi… An entire Florentine palazzo transformed
MARCHESA OLYMPIA
NEW LISTING
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 utterly charming:
MARCHESA OLYMPIA (SLEEPS 6)
3rd and 4th Floor – 3 bedrooms / 4 bathrooms
Reached via a few steps up from the main palazzo entrance with stairs and / or lift to the
3rd Floor followed by internal spiral staircase to the 4th Floor, this elegant apartment with sublime bedroom views comprises:
A spacious main open-plan sitting / dining room / kitchen lit by 3 tall shuttered windows overlooking the tranquil Via Mozza to the side of the palazzo, dressed in natural linen shades with crimson accents, and stylishly furnished with a large sofa with piped edging set upon a Kilim rug in coordinated colours, a hexagonal dining suite hosting 6 guests just to the side, a well-equipped kitchen space with integrated appliances set along the wall directly opposite, and at the centre of the room, an extraordinary contemporary cantilevered steel spiral staircase (a truly impressive piece of craftsmanship and the main focus of the room!) rising to the 4th Floor
A sparkling guest bathroom in Pierre Frey’s Ouroborus wallcovering (with wash-hand basin and a traditional high-level suite w.c.)
Taking the steel staircase we reach the 4th Floor of the palazzo where we find…
A landing sitting area enjoying splendid rooftop views towards the 17th-century Villa Bardini and its terraced, cypress-clad Italianate gardens, concealing a closet with a handy washing machine / dryer and serving the apartment’s 3 vaulted and timber-beamed bedrooms just beyond…
A delightful dual-aspect double bedroom boasting striking rooftop views from its windows towards Villa Bardini, the tower of Palazzo Vecchio and one of the most instantly recognisable symbols of Florence, Brunelleschi’s Duomo, a double bed dressed in Casamance’s Paradisiaca fabric (which can be divided into twins at your request), a walk-in closet to the fore, and a sleek en suite bathroom in polished blue marmorino with rain shower in marble and honeycomb ceramic tiling
A very pretty principal bedroom in shades of mauve and melanzana with equally splendid rooftop views towards the tower of Palazzo Vecchio and the Duomo, a double bed (which can be divided into twins at your request), a wardrobe and marble en suite bathroom with rain shower and rolltop bathtub
And at the end of the internal corridor which houses its custom-built wardrobes… a cosy and inviting dual-aspect 3rd double bedroom enjoying yet more (!) rooftop views of Palazzo Vecchio’s tower and the Duomo, furnished with twin beds dressed in soft blue-greys (on which you can gradually fall asleep gazing towards the hills above Florence through the little window that sits just to the side of one bed!), and with its own en suite bathroom in marble and polished marmorino with rain shower enrobed in blue diamond ceramic tiling
* Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay together at the palazzo but in separate apartments? We offer 9 other deluxe apartments within Dimora degli Affreschi:
Duca Marco – 4 guests
Barone Achille – 6 guests
Don Tommaso – 6 guests
Conte Jacopo – 6 guests
Cavalier Paolo – 4 guests
Principe Ludovico – 6 guests
Donna Lipsi – 6 guests
Visconte Filippo – 8 guests

PROPERTY PRÉCIS
An imposing Florentine palazzo brought up to date with aplomb!... and joining our hugely popular Dimora Nova Terrace nearby in raising our profile in this truly magical Renaissance city.
A gentle walk to the architectural masterpiece that is Florence’s iconic Duomo (but a little more effort is required to reach the top!), and close 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 stroll along the nearby Ponte alle Grazie bridge crossing the Arno to the wonderful Pitti Palace and its treasures, the bucolic Boboli Gardens, and the unmatched city vistas from the Piazzale Michelangelo.
Artisans, markets, cafes, bars and restaurants are woven through the ancient streets (including the much loved ‘La Buchetta’ directly opposite and the rustic ‘Del Fagioli’ just around the corner!), while the handy Conad supermarket close by satisfies self-catering needs, and a nearby car park provides parking if arriving on four wheels.
Promising Dimora Italia’s 25 key ingredients – a guarantee of quality and exceptional customer service designed to make your time with us as favoloso as can be!

This apartment is an oasis. If you have a family and want some space where you can spread out, I cannot recommend this property enough. It was especially nice to be able to come into the (real) air conditioning mid-afternoon where the kids could rest and cool off before going back out again in the evening.

— if it is available for the dates of your stay, stop reading and just book it. It was perfect for our family of 6. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious with tons of storage (which seems to be lacking in most hotel rooms these days). The views are to die for! It’s in a great location, walkable to major attractions but not too close. There’s a bus stop right outside as well. The hosts were very communicative and friendly and helpful. The only downsides are that the washer/dryer is not up to American standards, so stuck with small loads. It was also impossible to get a taxi the couple of times we tried, though that was an issue with the taxi companies and not the unit. Our host tried her best to help us when we were leaving for the train station!
