Florence
Villa Belcortese
Frescoed ceilings and a private courtyard garden in a 15th-century palazzo near Santa Croce.
About This Villa
Villa Belcortese fills the first floor of a 15th-century Florentine palazzo a few minutes from Piazza Santa Croce, its sgraffito façade one of the loveliest on the street. Inside, restorers brought the painted ceilings back to life and a designer paired them with clean, contemporary furniture, so the rooms feel both historic and light.
Four queen bedrooms, each with its own shower room, sleep eight. There are two living rooms — one formal, one for TV and lounging — and a large eat-in kitchen that is the heart of the apartment. Downstairs, a quiet inner courtyard with a vertical garden is yours for morning coffee or an evening drink.
