Via degli Strozzi

Situated right in the very heart of Florence, these stunning Italian luxury serviced apartments and suites to rent are in a historic Palazzo, dating from the early 16th Century, when it was owned by one of the most influential families of the day, the Vecchietti family. In 1578 Bernardo Vecchietti commissioned the sculptor Giambologna to restructure the building and, still intact today, are the façade, and the renowned “Satiro” statue and flag holder that resembles the legendary mythological figure. Other features still intact include the exposed stone wall in the entrance hall, and , and the majestic “kneeling” windows that are typical of Renaissance Tuscany.

The accommodation consists of two apartments, three Suites, two Junior Suites, two Superior Rooms and Five Deluxe Rooms, all named after famous Italian artists. Many of the spacious rooms have fireplaces, sculptures and paintings, while modern features include bright striped rugs on the wooden floors, modern bathrooms and kitchens, and luxuriously comfortable sofas and beds, upholstered in rich fabrics and colours. Each room is unique, stylish and luxurious, while also having all the warmth and comfort of a very special private home.

The sizes of the apartments, suites and rooms vary, but all offer the following amenities: Telephone and high speed internet, air conditioning/heating, satellite and Pay TV, safety deposit box, radio alarm with I-pod speaker. Each also has either a kitchen, or hideaway kitchenette, equipped with fridge, dishwasher, electric ceramic hob, extractor hood, cutlery and crockery, a Nespresso coffee making machine and coffee capsules. Friendly and helpful staff offer a 24 hour concierge service, and can arrange tours within the city, or out to the Tuscan countryside. Baby cots can be provided and there is a laundry service on request. American breakfast is included and can be taken in the privacy of your room, or in the majestic Sala Vespucci with its wide windows, antique marble fireplace, and a communal large oval dining table. This room can also be used for meetings, receptions or private lunches. For those arriving in Florence by car, there is an agreement with a local garage that offers valet parking. Airport and train transfers also arranged. A welcome glass of prosecco is offered on arrival.

Definitely one of our favourite places to stay in Florence!
