Signoria Apartments are seven luxurious yet affordable options right in the heart of Florence's quaint historical center. The palazzo that hosts all seven apartments is located on Via della Condotta, a cobblestoned street that is closed to motor traffic and was newly restored and repaved in 2003. Via della Condotta is right off of Piazza della Signoria, the apartments' namesake. Piazza Signoria is connected to the stunning Piazzale degli Uffizi right along the river Arno and the world-famous Uffizi Gallery which contains hundreds of precious works of art by Botticelli, Leonardo daVinci, Michelangelo, Titian and many more. Also located in Piazza della Signoria is the immense Palazzo Vecchio whose 94-meter bell tower la Torre d'Arnolfo, is an unforgettable symbol of Florence's Renaissance skyline. The Palazzo Vecchio, first constructed in 1322 by the infamous Medici family, was and still is today Florence's city hall. Via della Condotta takes its name from the Ufficio della Condotta, an office that recruited and paid soldiers during the wars of the fourteenth century, which was located on this road next to the Palazzo Vecchio.
The central location of the Signoria Apartments is just a few minutes' walk from all of Florence's major sites, including the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and Santa Croce. It is also 20 meters away from a bus stop for the ecological minibuses that circle the city center, taking tourists from the train station to all of the major sites around town.
First constructed in the fourteenth century, the Signoria Apartment building was just fully restored by its current owners, the Lori family. The Lori have paid particular attention to the history of the building, aiming to preserve and respect the palazzo's original architectural structure while making each apartment fully modern and up to the standards of a luxury hotel. Each apartment features brand-new bathrooms, terracotta floors, fully modern kitchens and central heating in winter. Select apartments feature air conditioning during the summer months as well; fortunately, the thick 14th-century stone walls ensure a cool refuge from the hot summer sun.
