The property is located in the heart of the city, in one of the most iconic areas for shopping and culture in Florence, surrounded by historic palaces, shops, and luxury boutiques. The stay is designed for those who wish to experience Florence from a privileged perspective: refined interiors, panoramic suites, exclusive apartments, and spaces that preserve the original charm of the historic residence.
