Apartment Argand

Description

Palazzo Bardi, whose apartment Argand represents the noble floor (Piano Nobile), was built in 1420 by Brunelleschi. It is located between the Arno River, the Uffizi gallery and Santa Croce. The building is considered the first step towards a new model of private renaissance palace in Florence, changing the late gothic architecture.

The courtyard of the palazzo is decorated with Andrea della Robbia majolicas. A crown of big columns typical of Brunelleschi’s style, antique marble and precious Renaissance ironworks.

The palazzo’s major restoration was competed in 2012 and it’s now in mint conditions. English speaking porter and security video system ensure the best security and privacy.

Kitchen equipment and internal systems are state of the art.
