Florence, Italy · Six residences
Six exceptional apartments, each inside a building of genuine historical significance. From a 14th-century noble palace to a penthouse above Piazza della Repubblica — all hosted personally by our family.
Inside the former stables of a 14th-century noble palace — now a listed national monument — this dramatic three-bedroom apartment features soaring ceilings, skylights, a mezzanine gym, and a Bang & Olufsen stereo system. The crown jewel of the ARKA collection.
A protected 17th-century noble palace still home to a branch of the Medici family. Enter via a private entrance directly from Piazza Santa Croce, and step into an apartment of fine antiques and a panoramic terrace overlooking the monuments of the city.
One of the closest private residences to Brunelleschi's dome — with a 110m² private terrace for the exclusive use of guests. Eclectic interiors layered with fine antiques, accessed via an exclusive residential complex on the street that leads to Michelangelo's David.
Our most spacious residence for small families or two couples. A generous two-bedroom apartment in the lively Sant'Ambrogio neighbourhood, steps from the local market and the Basilica di Santa Croce — with both a private terrace and a small garden.
Our most storied listing — 10 years of hosting and 271 glowing reviews. A 5th-floor penthouse accessed through the monumental 19th-century arcades of Piazza della Repubblica, furnished with fine antiques and a sweeping view of the historic centre.
On the top floor of what was once an ancient convent, within the block of Palazzo Venturi Ginori and the Orti Oricellari — the monumental gardens where Niccolò Machiavelli, Poliziano and Lorenzo the Magnificent once gathered. A two-level apartment including a converted old dovecote, with a pocket terrace overlooking rooftops.
