Suspended above the Ponte Vecchio and the Vasari Corridor, this apartment is not simply a residence: it is one of the most exclusive and iconic places in Italy.
A masterpiece of luxury and history that towers over Florence with unparalleled views of the Arno and the city's monuments.
The living room with magnificent windows overlooking Florence, panoramic suites, a private spa, works of art, and breathtaking terraces offer a rare experience that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world.

The space
Suspended above the Ponte Vecchio and the Vasari Corridor, in the most iconic, rare and unique spot in Florence, The Ponte Vecchio Residence is one of the most exclusive and scenic private properties in Italy.

It's not just about staying in the historic center of Florence, but literally living within its history. Imagine sleeping inside the ancient Tower of the Mannelli family, famous for opposing the passage of the Vasari Corridor through their property, forcing Giorgio Vasari to build it around the tower.

A place that is almost impossible to describe, where Renaissance history, architectural charm, and contemporary luxury come together in a living experience that is unique in the world. Here, Florence is not only observed: it is experienced from above, from a privileged and private perspective, granted to very few.

THE RESIDENCE

The main entrance leads directly into the heart of the property: an immense panoramic living room, flooded with natural light and dominated by four extraordinary windows overlooking Florence.

From this room, the city literally enters the house. The view opens onto the historic rooftops, the Arno, the Ponte Vecchio, and the city's most iconic monuments, creating a feeling of absolute wonder from the very first moment.

The atmosphere is warm, sophisticated, and deeply emotional. Refined lighting, selected works of art, furnishings of the highest quality, precious marble, noble materials, and contemporary details merge with the historic soul of the residence, giving life to a timeless environment.

Every space has been designed to welcome, surprise, and give guests a constant feeling of privacy, elegance, and privilege.

THE PANORAMIC TERRACE

The spectacular private terrace of about 75 m2 is one of the most exclusive spaces in the entire property.

Overlooking the historic rooftops of Florence and the monumental skyline of the city, it is the perfect place to experience unforgettable moments: a panoramic breakfast in the morning, a sunset aperitif, a private dinner under the Florentine sky, or simply a moment of silence in front of one of the most beautiful views in Italy.

The view opens up in an extraordinary way onto the Arno, Ponte Vecchio, Forte Belvedere, and the entire Florentine skyline, creating an almost cinematic atmosphere. It is one of those rare spaces where every moment becomes an experience, and every detail becomes a memory.

THE SUITES

The property is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 8 people, distributed among the four magnificent main suites, all designed to offer the highest level of comfort, privacy, and exclusivity.

Upon request, and only with prior agreement before booking confirmation, it is possible to consider the overnight stay of a ninth person, exclusively in the case of service personnel, such as a housekeeper, a maid, or a person responsible for the supervision or care of the residence during the stay.

In this configuration, a fifth bedroom with a single bed will be made available, designed specifically for service personnel, with a private bathroom complete with a shower. The property therefore has a total of 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, including one bedroom and one bathroom dedicated to service staff.

THE SLEEPING AREA

The sleeping area has been conceived as an intimate and refined journey, where each suite has its own identity, its own atmosphere, and a unique relationship with the history and light of Florence.

Fine materials, extraordinary views, quiet rooms, and top-quality finishes make each room a place designed not only for sleeping, but for enjoying an absolutely special stay.

THE MASTER SUITE – THE HISTORIC TOWER

The property's most iconic suite is located inside the ancient Mannelli family tower.

It is the most rare and representative space in the residence: a scenic space, steeped in history and completely unique, where the charm of ancient architecture meets refined and essential contemporary luxury.

The original ceilings with exposed beams, the timeless atmosphere, and the commanding view of Florence make this suite something unrepeatable. From the windows, the view opens onto the historic rooftops of the city, overlooking Palazzo Vecchio and the Dome of the Cathedral.

The master suite has an elegant double bedroom, a private bathroom, and direct access to the residence's large panoramic terrace.

To make the experience even more exclusive, there is a private spa completely dedicated to wellness, with a Turkish bath, a relaxation tub, a fitness area with exercise bikes and treadmills, and a treatment area with a massage table. An intimate and private space, designed to experience moments of absolute tranquility in the most prestigious heart of Florence.

THE BARDI SUITE

Located on the upper floor of the residence, the Bardi Suite occupies an entire private level of the property, offering a feeling of maximum privacy and exclusivity.

It is laid out like a true independent residence within the penthouse, with an elegant office area ideal for working, reading, or enjoying a moment of quiet, a refined double bedroom, and a private bathroom entirely clad in Giallo Siena marble.

Two panoramic terraces make this space even more special, offering extraordinary views of Florence's historic rooftops and the city's most iconic monuments.

Quiet, bright and deeply elegant, the Bardi Suite is designed for those who want to experience the property with the highest level of privacy and independence.

THE OTHER TWO SUITES

The other two double bedrooms, both located on the main floor of the residence, complete the sleeping area with refined, cozy rooms that are perfectly in harmony with the exclusive character of the property.

The first, the largest after the Master Suite and the Bardi Suite, stands out for its generous spaces, sophisticated atmosphere, and a splendid private walk-in closet, ideal for longer stays and for those who want to experience the residence with the utmost comfort.

The second suite, elegant and bright, features a refined four-poster bed, a private en-suite bathroom, and finishes of the highest quality. Fine parquet, sophisticated materials, and warm lighting contribute to creating an intimate, cozy, and deeply elegant environment.

THE EXPERIENCE

The Ponte Vecchio Residence is not simply a luxury apartment.

It is one of the rarest, most exciting and scenic living experiences that Florence has to offer.

A place where every window tells the story of the city, every room holds a part of its history, and every moment becomes part of an unrepeatable experience.

Staying here means experiencing Florence from a location that is impossible to replicate: above the Ponte Vecchio, next to the Vasari Corridor, inside a historic tower, with a private terrace suspended over the rooftops of the city.

It is a residence designed for guests who are looking for something more than an exclusive stay: they are looking for a place that can excite, surprise, and leave an indelible memory.

The Ponte Vecchio Residence is this: a unique private property, suspended between history, beauty and contemporary luxury, in the most iconic heart of Florence.

Guest access
Access to the property is designed to offer an exclusive and memorable experience from the very start.

Upon arrival, guests will be personally welcomed inside one of the most important and fascinating historic buildings in Florence, a building of great architectural and cultural value, capable of recounting centuries of Florentine history, art, and prestige.

Before accompanying them inside the penthouse, a dedicated person will introduce guests to the history of the building, explaining its importance, charm and connection to the city's most authentic tradition. It is therefore not a simple check-in, but a real entry into a historic residence, where every detail contributes to creating the feeling of experiencing Florence from a privileged perspective.

The penthouse, located in a unique and private location, represents one of the most exclusive experiences that can be enjoyed in the heart of the city: elegant rooms, extraordinary views, a refined atmosphere and the privilege of staying in a historical setting of the highest level.

From the moment they enter, guests will sense that they are not simply in a luxury apartment, but in an iconic residence, where the history of Florence meets contemporary comfort and the excellence of private hospitality.

Other things to note
Staying at this property doesn't just mean staying in Florence, but living a dream inside a unique residence.

Every detail is designed to make guests feel the privilege of being in a rare, exclusive, and unique place: a residence where history, elegance, and contemporary luxury come together to create a truly unforgettable experience.

The property is designed to comfortably accommodate up to 8 people in the four main suites, guaranteeing each guest privacy, comfort, and spaces of the highest quality.

Upon request, and only with prior agreement before the booking is confirmed, it is possible to consider the overnight stay of a ninth person, but only if they are a support person for the family or guests, such as a housekeeper, a maid, a nanny, a personal assistant, a security guard, or any other staff member dedicated to the care of the residence and support during the stay.

This fifth room is therefore not intended as an additional guest room, but as a space reserved for service staff. In this case, a separate single room will be made available, with a single bed and a private bathroom complete with shower, dedicated exclusively to this person.

In this configuration, the property therefore has a total of 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, including a single room and a private bathroom reserved for support staff.

Neighborhood highlights

The apartment is located inside the historic Torre dei Mannelli, one of the most iconic and fascinating buildings in Florence, directly above the Ponte Vecchio and next to the famous Vasari Corridor.

The Torre dei Mannelli is a unique place in the city's history: it was precisely this building that made it necessary to divert the route of the Vasari Corridor. In fact, the Mannelli family did not allow passage through their tower, forcing Giorgio Vasari to design a corridor detour around the building. An extraordinary detail that makes this property not just a home, but a true piece of Florentine history.

Staying here means experiencing Florence from an exclusive and unique perspective, in one of the most evocative spots in the historic center. From this location, you can easily walk to Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi, Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Pitti, the Boboli Gardens, and the city's most elegant streets.

The area retains all the authentic charm of Florence: artisan shops, traditional restaurants, wine bars, historic boutiques, and romantic views along the Arno. Crossing Ponte Vecchio, you enter the heart of the Oltrarno, one of the liveliest and most characteristic neighborhoods of the city, loved for its refined, artistic, and deeply Florentine atmosphere.

A rare and prestigious location, perfect for those who want to experience Florence not only as a tourist, but as a key player in its history.
