Palazzo Cavaliere-
Apartment in Central Florence
Built in the 1700s this palace completed a total
renovation in 2004. Every apartment is designed
and furnished for the comfort of its guests. The
location is ideal for visiting Florence, three
blocks from Piazza Santa Croce and five from the Duomo.
Palazzo Cavaliere offers a collection of
apartments carefully designed and beautifully
decorated to delight visitors
to Florence. The owners, a family famous for fine
Italian linens, have thought of everything
for your comfort. Not only is the palazzo in the
heart of Florence, it has the special attribute of
owning several parking spaces at the back of the
building.
The handsome palazzo is in Renaissance style
and faces the beautiful Loggia dei Pesce, Loggia
of the Fishes, designed by Vasari with delicate
columns and small terracotta fish as a
design. Behind the loggia is a permanent
antiques market for architectural pieces and
furniture.
The same piazza contains the home of the Ghiberti family
which was purchased by Lorenzo whose masterpiece
is the renown,
bronze "Doors of Paradise" that grace
the Baptistery of San Giovanni in the Cathedral
square.
The palazzo is in the center of Florence, near
Piazza Santa Croce and five interesting blocks from the
Duomo. It is possible to walk to all the most
famous sights. It is just steps from a grocery store for stocking your apartment.
The building has two modern elevators, another
attribute that sets it apart. There are about six
steps up from the main level to the elevator. A reception office
is available to receive and assist guests.
Each apartment has central heat, air
conditioning, telephone, dialup internet connection, and
satellite TV.
Some of the apartments feature the lovely
original frescoes covering beautiful, high
ceilings.
The kitchens are, for the most part,
kitchenettes, but of the highest quality that
include freezer section in the refrigerator, oven,
and dishwasher.

- Lovely apartments. Very comfortable and well
