TUSCANY
Few cities can rival Florence, which is, in its entirety, a monument to the Renaissance. Walking through the narrow streets of the city and bewitched by its beauty, few can imagine the gems that hide on its rooftops. Standing within the heart of the medieval city’s center, and inside a historical palazzo, Nau is one of those gems: a beautifully renovated penthouse duplex that provides more than just a luxury accommodation to those who want to visit the city; in fact, if you can handle the almost 90 steps to reach the apartment, you will be rewarded with having Florence at your feet! Nau is designed on two floors, a lower floor which comprises the bedrooms and bathrooms, and the upper floor which includes the social space and kitchen, all timeless and yet contemporary. Here at Nau, you will be wrapped in comfort and indulgent luxury, not to mention gifted with a 360-degree view of Florence.
2 BEDROOMS / 2 BATHROOMS
Lower Floor:
Queen bedroom with en-suite bathroom with large shower;
Queen/twin bedroom with private bathroom with shower.
LIVING SPACES
A bright and beautifully decorated living room welcomes you on the top floor of the apartment, via a set of 15 steps with a wrought-iron handrail. The elegance of this space is dramatized by its beamed ceilings, large windows with flowing curtains, classic blond-wood furniture and romantic white upholstered seating. Most importantly, this beautiful room features two terraces – each on opposite sides – where guests can enjoy a meal or a drink while marveling at the spectacular sunsets. The fully equipped kitchen blends smoothly with the rest of the room, and the what may be for some ‘boring’ chore of cooking now feels instead fun-filled thanks to the room’s vibrant atmosphere and sensational views. A washer and a dryer are also available in the unit.
SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS
Perfect for fit and active guests, two couples or a couple with two teenagers, Nao is rare find to rent in Florence. If a four-floors walk-up is your cup of tea, you will not regret staying here. Every major Florentine site is within a 10-minute walk; the urban noise is kept to a minimum; and, finally, also you will get to have your very own “room with a view”!

Florence, a medieval city of timeless artistic beauty is there to be discovered. The beautiful Cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore, the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, the Pitti Palace, and Ponte Vecchio are only few of the city’s most famous architectural masterpieces. Check at least one of its museums – we like the Academy of Fine Arts, which houses Michelangelo’s superb David. Stroll the narrow streets of Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, and marvel at the richness of this real open museum. Enjoy a cappuccino on one of its piazzas, or a colorful gelato to cool off the summer heat. Whatever you do, don’t pinch yourself…you are not dreaming!

Toscana - Tuscany
Tuscany is the place we all dream of….The place we want to retire to, and it is that place that will echo in your heart for a life time once you have stayed there and felt the essence of the organic life that passes by there each day.
With fields of sunflowers as far as they eye can see, olive groves and vineyards lining every street corner make Tuscany’s country side a picture worth painting. With its abundance of tiny medieval towns scattered around the hills, open air markets where locals gather each Saturday morning to offer their produce such as Truffle oil, olives, chianti wine, cured meats etc makes Tuscany the perfect place to visit for those that love food, wine and history.
