When we worked on this apartment in Florence, the main challenge was to renew the spaces without losing the historic charm of the home, transforming it into a perfect Airbnb destination. The apartment, with a large outdoor garden, offered great potential: our goal was to create a welcoming, elegant environment capable of giving guests an authentic sense of the past, while providing all contemporary comforts.

One of the most interesting aspects was the treatment of the flooring. We chose to preserve the existing majolica tiles, which tell the story of the apartment, integrating them with new parquet flooring that adds warmth and continuity to the spaces. The result is a perfect balance between tradition and modernity.

Great attention was also given to fabrics and materials: linen, velvet and natural cotton accompany the interiors, making every room welcoming and refined. To allow guests to experience the true atmosphere of the past, we introduced carefully selected antique pieces—such as chairs, tables and period lamps—that harmoniously dialogue with contemporary design elements.

The garden, the home’s real added value, was conceived as a natural extension of the interiors: comfortable furnishings and carefully selected plants create a relaxing atmosphere, ideal for enjoying moments of tranquility in the heart of Florence.

The overall project stems from the desire to make every guest feel immersed in a unique experience, where history blends with modernity and every detail is designed to surprise and welcome.
