Hotel Highlights

Front right and centre! The hotel is hosted in a 16th century renaissance palace in a pedestrian quarter of the centre of the city! That's one way to hit your step count!
A city break with all the necessary amenities and then some! how do a swimming pool and solarium sound?
Are you getting notes of oak and honey? You very well might by booking a wine tasting experience at the extensive cellar!

Hey driver, put it into speed drive! Its a 20-minute scenic ride from Amerigo Vespucci Airport (FLR) to the hotel!
A 1-hour and 14-minute drive from Pisa International Airport - perfect for planning what you're gonna eat first, pizza or pasta?
Can you say map? Get your explorer cap on because there's much to see and with the Santa Maria Novella railway station being a 5 minute walk away you'll have the whole of Florence at your finger tips!
You'll be a 10 minute walk from the monumental Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore - This mahoosive church is regarded as one of the pinnacles of architecture during the renaissance! Its arched, muraled dome is a sight to behold and if you fancy putting your cardio to the test you can climb the 463 steps to the cupola for panoramic views of Florence!
The Accademia Gallery - One of the most famous art galleries in the world is just a 5 minute walk away! What was once Europe's first school of drawing now hosts the infamous sculpture by Michelangelo, David although be warned - objects may appear larger in pictures!

Breakfast - First thing's first folks, we cant be skipping the most important meal of the day! And with this generous continental buffet spread brekkie is gonna get you fuelled up and keep you going for a full day of galivanting, culture soaking and mooching galore!
Wine Cellar - Whats an Italian getaway without some vino anyway! The hotel's extensive cellar has remained unchanged since its first construction in 1400! With an impressive selection of local wines up for tasting and purchasing it would be blasphemous to let this go amiss!
Lounge bar - With its own sitting area of course because what's a lounge bar if you cant lounge? Available to cater to all your alcoholic and non alcoholic cocktailing needs!
Osteria dell’Agnolo - Those of you looking for a true (literal) taste of authentic culture should already have this spot on your list! This tavern has been open since 1580 boasting iconic local dishes with recipes reminiscent of those prepared by rural housewives in times past! (if it ain't broke don't fix it right!)

Swimming Pool - For those of you on a summer jolly, the pool is operational from May to October and is (after the A/C) the best way to beat that pesky Italian heat! Its also nestled into the lush greenery of the hotel's courtyard which keeps it breezy, plus there's a whirlpool bath and a solarium should you fancy working on that tan!
Wellness - Now we know that for those of us that take their fitness seriously, a jolly is no excuse to slack! The hotel gets this too so for the gym rats out there they've got several options on offer from pilates and yoga classes, to functional training courses with a personal trainer shouting at you to make sure you're putting 100% in! If you fancy something a bit more chilled, you can rent a bike and explore Florence at your own pace or join a meditation class and exhale all the stress away!
