PALAZZO ANTELLESI
Conveniently located in the heart of the historical center of Florence,
in Piazza Santa Croce, Palazzo Antellesi is a landmark Renaissance
Palazzo.
The Palazzo acquired its present form in the late sixteenth century when
several narrow and tall medieval towers that occupied its location were
restructured, modified, and combined to create the typical wide and
sweeping aspect of the renaissance Palazzo. At the beginning of the
sixteenth century, to add splendor to Piazza Santa Croce, where the
ancient Roman ball game of the Calcio in Costume was played, the front
of Palazzo Antellesi was frescoed with allegorical themes.
In recent years the Palazzo underwent a complete renovation that preserved
its original beauty and architectural details. The Palazzo was divided
it into several apartments, equipped with all modern conveniences, and
completely furnished. All have TV with CNN reception. These are the
apartments that have become the Florence home of an international
clientele of visitors.
The guest enjoy the convenience of an urban setting with all modern
comforts right in the center of Florence. The apartments of Palazzo
Antellesi have views of the Piazza Santa Croce, which is a
traffic-free area, and/or of the private renaissance rose garden, of
other inner courts, and of the surrounding hills. The city's most
important sites are visible from some locations. All apartments are
quiet. Rooms are spacious and airy, furniture is a comfortable and
elegant combination of modern and antique. All apartments are kept in
mint condition. The four-story Palazzo has an elevator and the
furnishings include linen and crockery. Charm, and American standards.
PIAZZA SANTA CROCE
Piazza Santa Croce is at the center of one of Florence's oldest
neighborhoods, dating back to the early Middle Ages. Many Renaissance
artists lived and had there studios in the narrow streets that lead to
the Piazza. Today these streets are teeming with superb restaurants and
"trattorias", as well as with antique shops of every kind, from the
very frugal ones -- where occasionally, and with some luck, good buys
are available -- to the more expensive and sophisticated. Some of
Florence's choicest museums are also in the area, like the Casa
Michelangelo (i.e. Michelangelo's own house, filled with the artist's
mementos and early works), and the museo Horne.
The Uffizi and the Bargello are each about five minutes away by foot.
More ordinary services, such as cleaners, grocery stores, supermarkets,
post office, etc., are also in the area. A convenient taxi stand is at
the Piazza's corner. Very close to Santa Croce is the famous Mercato di
Sant'Ambrogio, one of the oldest, and certainly the best supplied
outdoor food market of the city, where every day the pick of the local
produce is made available to local and visiting gourmets who regularly
inspect the market in the morning. (The well equipped kitchens of
Palazzo Antellesi are an ideal complement to the market's offerings).
Palazzo Antellesi, with its frescoed facade, is one of the most
important palaces of Santa Croce. It is listed as a sight in most guide
books, either as Palazzo Antellesi or as Palazzo dell'Antella.
FLORENCE
Florence is a convenient stepping-stone for one- and two-day visits to
the art-filled towns of Tuscany and Umbria (Siena, Pisa, Lucca, Arezzo,

network of highways and buses provides easy access to these famous
hill towns.
