Ippolita is an elegant three-bedroom apartment, set on the second floor of a traditional Florentine palazzo. Facing the impressive Medici Chapels - or Cappelle Medicee - you are just moments from the many inspiring landmarks within the city of Florence. From sightseeing to sampling the local cuisine, the central position of this unique retreat puts you right in the heart of all the action.

Impeccably restored to provide modern comforts without detracting from its authentic Italian architecture, the rich history of the apartment is still evident throughout. High frescoed ceilings, stunning wood antiques, and original oil paintings are just a few of the features that set Ippolita apart from the rest.

The living room is particularly beautiful, with its 18th-century frescoed ceiling and sink-yourself-into sofas. Large windows allow the daylight to pour in while offering excellent views over to the chapels and streets below. You will also find a cosy library and tea room, stocked with an array of interesting art books for you to browse.

A formal dining area lets you gather under the sparkling Murano chandelier and original frescoed, with plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy delicious meals together. The kitchen can be found nearby, equipped with quality stainless steel appliances and a smaller dining table for four.

Among the three bedrooms is a spacious master queen suite, complete with a private ensuite bathroom. There is a smaller single bedroom with an adjacent bathroom and a third mezzanine room with a queen-sized bed and ensuite. This room can be converted into a twin upon request and is connected by a short staircase, and makes a cosy space for children and teenagers.
