Lillia

Lillia is centrally located in a private Renaissance palazzo in Florence. The palazzo was built in 1420 by Brunelleschi and was just restored in 2012. In the 16th century the “Camerata Fiorentina” used to meet in this apartment, which was the palazzo’s theatre during the Reinassance. The Florentine Camerata created new musical principles, merging music to the 33rd “Canto” of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, giving birth to what is now known as Lyrical Opera. Still hanging from the ceiling of the theatre are the scenic machinery used at that time. The building is considered the first step towards a new model of private Renaissance palaces 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 marbles and precious Renaissance ironworks. The Lillia is located on the Piano Nobile (second floor) and is a two level apartment that measures 3,400 sq. ft. Lillia interior décor is a combination of the finest contemporary Italian design and Florentine architectural detail. The interiors are superbly decorated with original 18th century frescoes. Bauhaus period furniture are from the best designers: Van der Rohe, Eames, Le Corbusier, matching a precious 17th century sofa and two Medieval terracotta statues. Castiglioni, Flos and Fontanarte lighting gives very special atmosphere in the evening. Lower level: Entrance with library. 1 spacious master queen bedroom with en suite bathroom with tub.
