In the heart of Pisa’s historic center, inside a splendid medieval noble palazzo overlooking Lungarno Gambacorti, we offer for sale a distinguished apartment of great architectural prestige and historical value.
The building, equipped with an elevator, stands out for its grandeur and privileged location, just steps from Palazzo Blu and within walking distance of Piazza dei Miracoli. The property also includes a spacious garage, located only 150 meters from the entrance, large enough to accommodate a modern car and with additional space for bicycles, scooters, or other items.
This prestigious apartment for sale in Pisa is located on the second floor and has a total surface of approximately 330 sqm. It retains the original features of the historic residence: exposed beam and coffered ceilings reaching impressive heights of up to 4.20 meters, terracotta floors, and chestnut wood doors with original ironwork, which preserve the authentic character of the home.
The entrance opens into a large scenic hall of about 35 sqm, which leads to the first reception room of approximately 50 sqm: an elegant and refined space enhanced by original frescoes, featuring a corner window and two large windows with direct views of the Lungarno and the picturesque Church of Santa Maria della Spina. The atmosphere is highly dramatic and full of charm.
A corridor—once a narrow alley that separated two palaces, later merged—connects this room to a second living area of about 40 sqm: a cozy sitting room featuring a reading corner with sofas and a large dining table for 12 people. The space is decorated with 18th-century antique furniture and modern artworks from the 1970s. Here too, two large windows offer privileged views of the Arno.
The eat-in kitchen features ceramic tiles, white Carrara marble countertops, and a matching marble table.
The space comfortably accommodates up to three people for meals. From here, you can access a quiet and private internal terrace, which serves all three bedrooms. The terrace also includes a utility area with a laundry and storage room.
The sleeping area consists of three bedrooms and three bathrooms. The first double bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a mezzanine level used as a study. The second bedroom, without a private bathroom, is served by a bathroom with shower, conveniently located at the beginning of the hallway and also usable as a guest bathroom. The master bedroom includes a private bathroom with both a bathtub and a shower.
The bathrooms, tiled and built in the 1990s, are fully functional but in need of renovation.
Completing this exclusive apartment for sale on the Lungarno in Pisa are a 6 sqm cellar on the ground floor and an attic, accessible via a retractable ladder from inside the apartment—ideal for storage of non-everyday items.
