Palazzo Carlini Residence, Florence
Centro Storico, Firenze, Florence, Italy
Why We Selected It
Florence has plenty of central apartments. What it has very little of is a home inside a documented historic fabric that has been restored to a contemporary standard, is sold complete with its furniture, and already carries the CIN and CIR registrations needed to let it legally. The building was transformed in the seventeenth century, celebrated from the nineteenth for its carved stone façade, and restored in 1884; the Carlini family coat of arms is still visible above the entrance, worn but there. Buying it means buying a finished position rather than a project — the part of Florence that is hardest to assemble from scratch.
The Home
Apartment in a building of probable thirteenth-century foundation · Restored and sold fully furnished — CIN and CIR licences in place
An apartment in the heart of Florence's historic centre, inside a building of probable thirteenth-century foundation that once belonged to the convent of the Badia. Restored, furnished, and already licensed for hospitality use.
- Around 140 m² inside a building of probable thirteenth-century foundation, originally part of the convent of the Badia.
- A wide, luminous day area holding living room, dining room and kitchen in one elegant volume.
- Four bedrooms and three bathrooms, laid out to work as either a family residence or a hospitality operation.
- Beamed and coffered ceilings, wide oak floors and hand-finished walls throughout.
- Contemporary services behind the historic fabric: integrated air-conditioning, modern kitchen and fully rebuilt bathrooms.
- Sold furnished, so the apartment is usable — or lettable — from the day of completion.

Our Perspective
Why it works
Restored, furnished and licensed is a rare combination in a protected historic centre. The three elements together remove the two things that usually delay a Florence purchase: a long renovation inside a listed fabric, and the uncertainty of obtaining a hospitality registration afterwards.
Ownership case
Supply inside the historic centre is fixed by definition, and Florence's international demand — residential and hospitality — has been consistent for decades. Value here is protected more by scarcity and by the quality of the specific building than by any growth forecast.
What makes it special
A restored, furnished apartment inside a building of probable thirteenth-century foundation, already carrying the CIN and CIR registrations; the Carlini coat of arms is still visible above the entrance, and beamed ceilings and oak floors run throughout.
Best suited for
A buyer who wants a genuine Florentine address they can use immediately, with the option — not the obligation — of letting it at a high level when they are not there.
