If you are looking for a "Room with a View," Summer's Leases has sourced it for you. It's easy to find apartments in Florence, but to find a spacious, one bedroomed apartment like this is almost impossible. La Romantica also comes with star appeal - Anthony Hopkins loved this comfy pied-a-terre when he was filming in Florence. Here you have location, location and location, all the romance a visitor to Florence could want - plus two large, 360° panoramic terraces, with a third little balcony, off the sunny bedroom, with just enough space for a couple of deck chairs. If you want something special in Florence, there's no doubt about it, you've just found it!

Located in the Oltrarno area of Florence, you're just round the corner - in a quiet side street - from Ponte Vecchio and the Medici's Palazzo Pitti. The flourishing Oltrarno is still home to the old fashioned artisan skills of Florence, so you'll find traditional crafts like book binding, marbled paper making, leather work and picture framing all cheek by jowl with some of the city's plushest shops in this Florentine's area of Florence. It goes without saying that the place abounds with bars and eateries of every kind and enticing little food shops filled to the rafters with temptations to cook at home. Head off across the Ponte Vecchio, admiring the dazzling array of gold and jewellery shops that have long replaced the ancient butcher's shops, and you are a gentle stroll from the Duomo, the Uffizi, the Signoria and so very, very much more.

As you can see, La Romantica is a light and airy apartment, a quiet retreat from the city hurly burly, a place to soak up the sun and admire the city lights as darkness falls. Located on the top floor of a four story Palazzo, there's a lift up to your front door if the stairs are too much. The sitting room, with its own fabulous views, is amply spacious and the first terrace, through the double glass doors you see in the photo above, is perfect for meals at home. If you are a group of three, then the sofa bed in the sitting room will come in handy! The charming double bedroom opens off the sitting room and again offers plenty of space and its own cute little balcony. The kitchen is small, but has all you'll need. There's a dishwasher, a fridge/freezer, an electric oven with 4 gas hobs, a microwave and a washing machine. The bathroom opens off the sitting room and it can't fail to please with its traditional Florentine marble. To arrive at the 2nd large terrace, there's a short flight of brick steps from the "dining terrace" up to the next level. Here you can enjoy the breeze off the river and linger over a glass of wine as the sun sets, or sizzle in the sun if you are "resting" from doing the shops, the markets and the great art in town. If you need an extra washing machine and a dryer, then the palazzo boasts a communal laundry room in the basement. All your needs have been thought of and catered for.

Such a quiet and beautiful apartment, with not one, but two terraces to die for, in the heart of Florence is a great rarity. La Romantica is very special. We at Summer's Leases are delighted to have added it to our choice selection of properties. Perfect for a honeymoon, ideal for any of those memorable moments in life's rich tapestry, La Romantica offers all that's best for a city break in fabulous Florence!
