Villa Elirenza
A frescoed first-floor apartment overlooking the Medici Chapels, five minutes from the Duomo.
About This Villa
Villa Elirenza is a 1,400 sq ft apartment on the first floor of a historic palazzo in San Lorenzo, and its living room looks directly onto the dome of the Medici Chapels. Frescoed ceilings, tall windows and soft, pale furnishings give it a serene, gallery-like calm in the middle of the city.
An open living and dining area with a round marble table flows into a sleek kitchen, and two en-suite bedrooms — a queen and a king/twin — sleep four. The Duomo is five minutes away, Santa Maria Novella station and the Accademia (Michelangelo's David) about eight, and the San Lorenzo food market is around the corner.
