Amore

Fall in love with Amore! Spectacular views from a wonderful penthouse apartment perched high above the rooftops — that’s Amore! Two blocks from the Ponte Vecchio, the Amore apartment boasts a gorgeous terrace with stunning Duomo views.

Location

The apartment is just one block from the Uffizi Gallery and Piazza Signoria. Two blocks to the Ponte Vecchio and less than a 10-minute walk to the Duomo, you can’t be more central than this!

The apartment building was built around a historic medieval tower, the Torre Lambertesca. The building’s elevator runs up the tower. 

Exterior

The expansive terrace is the jewel in the crown of the Amore apartment. Lounge, read, do yoga, nap, dine or enjoy cocktails. Plenty of outdoor seating and dining space. Take in gorgeous views of Brunelleschi’s masterpiece, the dome, or Duomo, as it is known, of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, one of the wonders of the world. The views stretch out on two sides of the apartment. From the hills of Fiesole to the Forte di Belvedere. In the evenings, sit on the terrace and marvel at beautiful sunsets.

Interior

The living-dining room is filled with light and has French doors that open to the terrace.  Tasteful décor and comfortable seating make Amore your perfect home base while in Florence.

The kitchen, while small, has some of the most amazing views from the sink looking out towards Forte di Belvedere and the hills beyond. With the bounty of restaurants at your doorstep no need to cook. 

Both bedrooms have views. From bedroom 1 you can lie in bed and gaze up at Arnolfo di Cambio’s bell tower in the Piazza Signora, just at the end of the block from the apartment. From the bedroom that faces the terrace you can take in views of medieval towers.

 Please note: children must be supervised at all times on the terrace due to low balcony walls.
