This Time Tomorrow in Florence

Rooms

The apartments are spread out across the building from the lower ground floor to the attic. There’s a lift to bring you up to the higher floors with ease, and each apartment boasts a private outdoor area, from courtyard gardens and juliette balconies to sunny rooftop terraces.

All of the residences have spacious living areas, full kitchens, kingsize beds, and ensuites with rainfall showers (some also have deep, freestanding bathtubs). They are cleverly named after different times of the day: Crepuscolo (dusk) on the lower ground floor, Mezzogiorno (midday) and Mezzanotte (midnight) on the ground floor, 1AM and 1PM on the first floor, 2AM and 2PM on the second floor and 3AM in the attic. The largest is Crepuscolo with three bedrooms sleeping six, the smallest is 3AM with one bedroom sleeping two, and the rest are all two-bedroom apartments sleeping four.

Art lovers will appreciate the giant 18th-century tapestry that is the focal point in 1AM, while sun-seeking honeymooners will love 3AM’s private roof terrace. 2PM has a large kitchen and living space that opens onto a balcony, with stairs up to its own private roof terrace, perfect for couples travelling together.
