Step out onto the small terrace to see Florence at your
feet. On the hottest days, an umbrella extend your time outside. The
terrace is a small triangle filled with greenery. There
is a small round table with three chairs. This is the
perfect spot for taking your morning coffee or toasting
the sunset.

Enjoy your view of the Arno from a peaceful private

The master bedroom has a convertible king bed that

Doesn't the warm yellow draw you into this luminous
bedroom, the third in the home? The color and fabric
echo Provence.

Two full baths with bathtubs and showers are between the
bedrooms. Sparkling clean, the fixtures and furnishings
are from another era.

A half bath is convenient to the kitchen and front of
the house. The lemon wall paper reminds the family of
their royal origins among the lemon groves of Sicily.

Very approximate layout of the Splendida apartment.
This is pretty close in terms of the relative positions
of the rooms but the relative sizes don't seem quite
correct. The photos give the best sense of size.
