    Number 1 for me garden is fantastic and the tower was amazing. I could see myself comfortable there and I love all the windows in the apartment.

    It was easy for me. The very first apartment of the four, the one with the huge garden spoke to me! It was exquisite yet cozy at the same time and it was the one I could imagine feeling very at home in.

    They are all so beautiful. I vote for the very 1st one. The peacefulness in that beautiful garden and then that view from the tower. I definitely would pick up and move there. Thank you for making these videos and showing us these stunning places. The history in everything is wonderful.

    I choose the second apartment. All the beauty of renaissance Florence, the connection to the Medici family, the modern amazing kitchen to cook meals for guests who are immersed in the beauty of the grand salon. Spending quiet afternoons and lazy weekend mornings on the balcony enjoying the peace and beauty of the garden. And then, the sound of the bells nearby.. Every detail makes sure one remembers this is Florence at the time of its glory when it played a crucial role in the birth of the Renaissance. History, beauty and luxury. Three words to describe Florence and this beautiful space within the city

    All of the apartments are amazing. Of course, I’d live in Florence in a single room stuck down an alley, but #1 with the garden and separate apartment was my dream. The final thing to put it over the top is the medieval tower. How amazing to live with that history.

    I love the first appartement#1 it reminds me when I used to live between Carreggi and Fiesole where there was also a gorgeous garden looking out on florence s Duomo . In all seasons a garden is a must ..the very hot summers in Florence can quite oppressing and a garden is a godsend. The flowers in spring are amazing.. the mimosa trees in february are a bliss....

    I just loved No 2 Apartment during the last video and voted for it and gave my reasons because my family and ancestry goes back to the Medicis and many of the leading nobility families in Italy and my Grandfather, as I explained was a Marchese! I simply adore Florence too Julie and you were incredibly lucky to be able to stay in one of the apartments and drink champagne on the balcony over looking Palazzo PItti ! So really love all your vlogs about Florence and look forward to many more soon, as well as of your very sweet house in Tuscany. Very best wishes, Christina Findell, Crediton, Devon UK

  • @carolweaver3269
    @carolweaver3269 Рік тому

    Ciao! Julie and Luke , As being born and living in the U,S,(never do my husband and I get to travel so that is why it is always here. but watching you travel is great fun and seeing your videos of England and your own Estate is a dream to me!) But my grandfather came from Italy and so do have Italian heritage, I have quite the feelings for the Medici family! So, 'number two ; first pulled at me because the architect for the Medici family own it and it was absolutely out of this world! Truly can see ourselves, living there, and the 'Varanda; was so lovely! Would enjoy time in the library and just every room called out and seemed so like home. The kitchen was quite modern and easy to live and cook in.
    But yet the first one was the old-world Italy and being outside is so grand and walking around and just enjoying nature would be wonderful. When thinking of you and Luke if living there, think you would enjoy it so much!
    Number three was nice too, but will not have a housekeeper and really cannot afford renovation, so I truly thought I would go with the last one, ''number four''' as I love it!
    I do feel with number 4, just sitting outside knowing that the Medici family started there and would just be such excitement for me and could take walks out there anytime. Love the idea of an elevator too, and it offers lovely frescos as well and yet has modern and newer plumbing etc and lots of 'marble' which I love too. You can also have it as a business if need arose and believe you can live their full time? Guess the thought could be there if needed to have a business as it has been in the past? But would love living in Tuscany always, but (keep forgetting it is not about me though)
    **So, my vote is in, and although it has been with mixed feelings, I did include my husband with this vote, and he agrees it would be probably number 4 that would be good for us, anyway. We feel we would be comfortable and yet not need to work hard shoveling or mowing or doing alot of work other than cleaning inside, One floor so not too hard at that!

    I too have to pick the first apartment because of the incredible gardens. Can you imagine having all that beauty right outside your door in the city?

    Hi! We love Florence! Spent 2 weeks there on our 30th anniversary a number of years ago. All 4 places are lovely spaces, for sure! They are so large and opulent, but I think I would practically be living outside in the garden of the 1st place. I would pick number 1 for the garden!

    @sandra1918 Рік тому +5

    Number 1 for me!! I can see myself enjoying the gardens, no matter the season. The atmosphere within and out would probably have a comforting, protective feel, considering its original inhabitants. It's simply dreamy. 💜

  • @Ananara22
    @Ananara22 Рік тому +1

    Its Lovely to dream and it's fun to see both of you filled with so much enthusiasm. Each have their own unique styles of history and beauty. I would personally choose number 3. as I can envision the transformation that was explained by the Architect Andrea Solinas especially the beautiful private garden. Each are sublime and whoever turns the key to their new residence will be truly blessed. Grazie Julie and Kiara

  • @betsyrb2275
    @betsyrb2275 Рік тому +4

    Of all the apartments shown, #2 caught my eye and true interest. It’s magnificent! I could imagine myself reading a book in one of the couches, with a good wine and some cheese. It’s an apartment I’d never get tired of looking at and admiring it’s beauty and imagining how life was like in there during the time it was made. It’s an apartment I wouldn’t mind living without going out for several days. I’m really so in love with it and how it’s renovated and decorated so tastefully beautiful. If I had the money, I’d buy it in a heartbeat as I’m one of those who’s dreaming of a perfect place I could call home under the Tuscan sun, only it will be my palazzo under the Tuscan sun. 😍

    Shut the front door! ALL RESIDENCES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD! Personally if and when I win the lottery I would pick #2 because of the historical connection and the balance of modern livability! The artistry exemplified on virtually all the surfaces of this magical space transports you back in time...though with all the conveniences of today! If given the privilege to call this home, I would truly be BLESSED! AND then to step out on the cobblestone streets of Florence would be living the DREAM!

I grew up on a farm in Ireland so I have had the green pastures for many years. I now live in the Suburbs of New York. I am going to go with #4 as I would love to be living in this beautiful home in this amazing city listening to the chatter and music from nearby restaurants not to mention the beautiful view of the piazza..

    I have to add my vote for the first apartment with the garden. It is incredible to have that kind of space right in the city, and having two more apartments on the grounds would allow for friends and family to visit or income from short term rentals. Can you imagine what a hit they would be with guests with those grounds to wander? It is absolutely stunning.
    Really fun videos Julie. I hope you can do more of these! How about Rome next?

    Julie, you made this so captivating and fun to watch, and a treat to get a glimpse of and share your love of Italian history! I felt like I was transported in time with the architectural details… the ceilings alone in their own ways were amazing and liked one property more than the other for their own unique details. You would walk into each home every day and be embraced by their beauty and history. Number 4 I think would be amazing if just wanting a holiday home to easily explore the city, number 2 would be an enchanting but equally an every day home, number 3 had beautiful ceilings and unique elements ready to transform, but number one had the magic of the garden and historic building to live an incredibly tranquil or equally entertaining life.. so would have to be number one as my favourite, followed so closely by number 2! I loved how each one, inside or out, you were in idyllic, historical Italy.. lucky owners to be the custodians of this slice of history! Thank you for sharing this!

    These two videos are so dreamy. I love both properties, but I have to say I am completely blown away with the first one. How majestic! It absolutely speaks Florence to me. If I had to choose one over the four, while each one had it own unique style and beauty, it would be the second one from last week's video. It was just such a beautiful tranquil sanctuary elevated by those historic and true florentine qualities.

    Between that extraordinarily *magical, private **garden belonging to that first "apartment" in the first Florence installment, and the opening interior cafe (stunning place, beautifully appointed) shots in this one - I am/was enchanted, riveted. But Julie, as anthropologically, sociologically fascinating the apartments you've shown us are - as regal and priveleged - they're terribly cold, almost vault-like in feel . Rarefied tour, none the less, and I thank you.

  • @efortunywhitton
    @efortunywhitton Рік тому

    I have to go with no. 4 - the last one... having a view of 'the' history of Florence... where it all began... leaves me speechless. My second favourite is the first one, due to the garden. 😊 And honestly, and for very different reasons, these two are no. 1 for me. :)

  • @vogthorstar3206
    @vogthorstar3206 Рік тому

    They are all magnificent. But the first one with the garden is the most unique and has tremendous potential as well as an incredible history as a sanctuary. I would choose the first...the views..and you felt right at home enough to stretch into yoga immediately...... this is my first choice.
    As my second choice, I would choose the third palace with the grand ballroom.... the quality of light and the multifunctional possibilities of the grand ballroom , the office , spa and apartments are quite grand...

    That was marvelous, seeming traveling to the past by opening every door of each house. Each one had its own beautiful story of its past. But if choosing one of them is requested, I choose the fourth one, the second one from the second video as the house has a touch of history and connects me to its past and the rooms and the bedrooms convey so much sensation of coziness and comfort to me. The beauty of the houses is adorable.
