Features and description

Located on Via Santo Spirito, in the heart of the Oltrarno district in Florence, lies the Palazzo Graziosi Manetti where we exclusively present for sale a stunning apartment still steeped in ancient history.
The palace was built by the Manetti family, a prominent Florentine family. Over the centuries, the property complex has seen several changes of ownership among noble families and notable proprietors, hence the dual name Graziosi Manetti, reflecting the property transitions and dynastic unions between the two families.
The facade embodies the standards of Florentine noble architecture, with visually striking elements characteristic of the Renaissance and subsequent eras. One of the most fascinating features is the main portal, distinguished by a pronounced arched rusticated frame. On either side of the portal are traditional "wine holes" (the typical stone hatches through which noble Florentine families sold wine from their estates directly to the public): One retains its original stone frame, while the other has been converted over time into a niche for doorbells.
Passing through the main door, a long corridor covered by a barrel vault leads directly to the interior Renaissance-style courtyard. Beyond the courtyard, on the ground floor, stands one of the historical shops typical of the Oltrarno Florentine tradition.
During the 19th century, the palace underwent significant renovation, including the construction of a new staircase and, in a later phase, the installation of an elevator system.

Situated on the fourth floor, the apartment unfolds in an enchanting horseshoe configuration, following the profile of the large central courtyard and overlooking the interior, where private gardens once extended. The rooms flow naturally into one another, creating a spacious layout marked by generous volumes and large window openings. Its position, largely on the top level, endows the spaces with extraordinary brightness, enhancing their architectural quality and overall elegance.
From the entrance, there is a large cloakroom, a kitchen with a dining area, a long windowed hallway overlooking the beautiful courtyard that provides light, a large living room/vestibule, three bedrooms, and a grand drawing room. Two bathrooms, a laundry room, and a second cloakroom complete the accommodation.

This is a rare opportunity to live in the heart of Oltrarno, in a prestigious historical setting, with the privilege of reinterpreting the spaces with a contemporary sensibility and restoring the apartment's full charm, through a project that can harmonize the original character with current elegance.

The images are real and have been slightly retouched in some details. You will also find images showing a possible renovation project.
