The hotel seamlessly fuses classical Florentine architecture with luxurious modern amenities. The common areas showcase the building's rich heritage through tasteful preservation of original features and carefully selected antiques. For those wishing to maintain their wellness routine while traveling, there's a well-equipped gym and rejuvenating sauna to enjoy after a day of exploring cobbled streets and world-class galleries. Beyond the physical attributes, it's the distinct atmosphere that truly distinguishes this establishment – a gentle hum of sophistication without pretension, allowing guests to feel both pampered and utterly at home.
No two of the 71 accommodations are alike, each boasting its own unique character and charm. What they do share is an unmistakable attention to detail – classic wooden floors provide warmth underfoot, while refined lacquered boiseries add a touch of classical elegance. For the romantics, many rooms feature gorgeous canopy beds that invite lingering morning lie-ins. The bathrooms are particularly noteworthy, crafted from exquisite marble with distinctive inlays and two-tone color schemes that cleverly echo the nearby church. Expect curtains and decorative elements that make each space feel individually curated rather than mass-produced – a refreshing departure from cookie-cutter hotel rooms.
The juxtaposition of unabashed luxury and authentic Florentine character – where else can you lounge in a marble bath while gazing at centuries-old architecture, then pop downstairs to find yourself instantly in one of the city's most magnificent piazzas?
Slip away to the sixth-floor terrace during the golden hour just before sunset – the mellow light bathes the church façade in an ethereal glow that photographers queue for hours to capture, but you'll have the perfect vantage point all to yourself.
With 71 rooms, this isn't the most intimate boutique option in Florence, though the individual character of each room does much to counter this.
A Renaissance masterpiece of art, architecture and exceptional living.
