Located opposite Palazzo Strozzi, stands a hotel with a magnificent 19th century fa?ade, part of the rich history of Florence. Refurbished preserving the materials and furnishings of the period, it evokes a world of refined elegance, a singular and highly suggestive atmosphere, right down to the finest details: silk drapes in the guestrooms, patterned floors in terracotta, treasured 17th century paintings? The "Giardino d'Inverno", with its charming Belle Epoque atmosphere serves delicious cocktails to sip in the company of artists, writers, celebrities and aristocrats, or tea with delightful pastries in the adjacent tea room and library. At very first sight, the sumptuous rooms conjure up the grandeur of a bygone age. They are all different, and each endowed with its own history, colors and character. Every room is an authentic private residence where you can live surrounded by all this is noblest in Florentine tradition. Your spirits lift as soon as you cross the threshold into a world furnished elegantly and rigorously with unique items, great inlaid armoires and antique tables, splendid lamps of Chinese porcelain and bronze, walls hung with artworks both great and small, a profusion of gossamer lace, silk and brocade, Carrara marble and Jacuzzi baths. Looking onto the most spectacular masterpieces of Florentine art and the hills of Fiesole, all the rooms and suites - from Junior to Deluxe and Superior - are unforgettable treasure chests of art.
