Stroll the city’s biggest private garden – a tranquil haven of statues, fountains and centuries-old trees – or retire to your suite where frescoes line the walls amid original architectural features. Our historic Hotel, with its Michelin-starred Italian restaurant and a locally inspired Spa where you can spend afternoons in pure indulgence, is just steps away from the cultural heart of Florence.

The Hotel’s expansive private garden, with its charming statues, fountains and even a small Ionic temple, was planted in the 15th century and retains all of its ancient beauty (though we’ve added a modern swimming pool for all-day relaxation). Kept hidden for centuries, you can now spend hours strolling beneath the centuries-old trees or climb the hill for a romantic dinner with Duomo views.

"Sleeping in one of our rooms and walking along our garden’s paths is like going back to Renaissance, when the Palace and La Villa were inhabited by noble families", Patrizio Cipollini, general manager.
