Florence
A two-level penthouse with a rooftop terrace over the domes of Florence.
Villa Florbianca is a contemporary penthouse on the fourth and top floor of a Florentine palazzo, reached by elevator. Its best room is outside: a covered terrace with a dining table and lounge chairs, looking across the rooftops and domes of the city — made for breakfast in the sun and long dinners after dark.
Inside, the look is crisp and modern — soaring white ceilings, arched windows, grey polished floors and bold splashes of red. An open living and dining room leads up a floating staircase to the second level; two king bedrooms, one on each floor, each have a private marble bathroom.
