Casual charm overlooking the Broletto

This splendid property is a true gem set in the evocative setting of Piazza Paolo VI, in the most authentic heart of the city, offering from every outlook unique glimpses of the history and architecture of Brescia. A solution not conceived with the classic minimalist, cold or hyper-technological design; rather, it is a “warm”, welcoming design that invites relaxation and seems to suggest a slow lifestyle, halfway between a Mediterranean holiday home, a Parisian loft and a colonial residence. The entrance, discreet and private, is hidden around the corner of the building. The property was created by merging two residential units and unfolds harmoniously on a single level around the central stairwell. Going up to the first floor, you enter directly into the kitchen, a welcoming and functional space enhanced by a peninsula and a spacious dining area. Even before being won over by the spectacular view that opens from the windows, your eye is caught by the refined restoration of the original materials. The antique cement tiles were carefully removed to allow the installation of a modern low-inertia underfloor heating system and then expertly relaid, becoming the common thread of the kitchen and bathrooms. In this space they elegantly define the working area and the dining area, creating the effect of a precious Art Deco-style carpet.  The room is served by a practical small terrace, the perfect place to start each day with breakfast as the city wakes up. From here you enter the first living room, designed for conviviality: a generous space where the large table, the sofas and the windows overlooking the Broletto create a unique atmosphere. A wall separates a second sitting room, more compact and intimate, ideal as a reading or relaxation area, from which you reach the second bathroom and the laundry room. An elegant hallway leads to the sleeping area where we find the main bathroom. Here a beautiful bathtub becomes the centerpiece of a refined setting, where sanitary ware with sophisticated matte finishes converses with elegant gold-toned taps. Here there are also two single bedrooms and a double bedroom. All rooms are fitted with triple-glazed soundproof windows, ensuring maximum living comfort. The bedrooms also share a distinctive railing terrace that runs along the entire side of the home, offering an unrivaled view sweeping from Cathedral Square to Via Musei, up to a glimpse of the clock in Piazza della Loggia. Completing the property are a shared cellar, a leased parking space whose contract is assigned, and a splendid communal rooftop terrace, from which to enjoy a privileged perspective over the rooftops and monuments of the historic center.
