Toscanelli Corso 10 – Elegant 5-Bedroom Apartment in Florence's Historic Oltrarno
Set in the very heart of Florence’s renowned Oltrarno district, just steps from Piazza Pitti and a short stroll from Ponte Vecchio, Toscanelli Corso 10 offers a rare blend of heritage, comfort, and modern elegance. Once the residence of the eminent Florentine mathematician Paolo Toscanelli—whose maps famously inspired the voyage of Christopher Columbus—this refined apartment is housed within a 15th-century palazzo that has been expertly renovated to combine timeless charm with contemporary living.
This expansive, single-level residence spans 183 sqm and accommodates up to 10 guests across five beautifully appointed bedrooms and six full bathrooms. Designed in a tasteful modern Florentine style, Toscanelli Corso 10 is the perfect choice for families, groups of friends, or discerning travellers seeking an authentic yet luxurious experience in the city.
Layout & Interior Features
Upon entering the apartment, guests are welcomed into a bright and inviting living area furnished with plush sofas and a large flat-screen television—ideal for relaxing after a day exploring Florence.
To the left, a spacious dining room with a 12-seater table provides a warm setting for shared meals. This room flows into a fully equipped modern kitchen, featuring high-end appliances and ample workspace for preparing everything from morning coffee to Tuscan feasts.
A central hallway connects the living and dining areas to the sleeping quarters. Each of the five bedrooms offers maximum comfort, flexible bed arrangements, and private access to a bathroom. The first bedroom (with a divisible 160 cm bed) overlooks Florence’s rooftops and has a bathroom with a bathtub directly opposite. The second bedroom (also with a divisible 160 cm bed) includes access to a private terrace and en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Descending a few steps leads to the three remaining bedrooms—two twins (90 cm beds, not joinable) and one double (160 cm bed)—each with its own en-suite bathroom and walk-in shower.
All bedrooms and common areas are fitted with independent air conditioning units to ensure personalised comfort year-round. The property also includes autonomous heating.
