Tourism & Travel
Quattro bilocali, tre trilocali ed un appartamento padronale offrono una valida risposta alle vostre esigenze di vacanza.
This is from a tourism website describing holiday apartments. I don't have any other information other than the appartamento padronale is simply a larger apartment than the others but I can't think of a nice way of saying it. The term is also used as a heading.

master suite
This tends to apply more to hotels, but I thought you might be able to say master suite apartment if necessary.

Manager's apartment
Might give the idea of a padronale better than Master's apartment.

I also thought of using suite but I think it is more for hotels. If you want to give the idea of bigger and better how about saying 'Deluxe'?

: I would tend to agree with this suggestion, although it must be one heck of an apartment if it takes up the whole of the first floor with 7 apartments on the ground floor below.
