12 Best Boutique + Luxury Hotels in Florence, Italy - AFAR
"A grand, Renaissance-era property combining a 15th-century palazzo and a 16th-century convent whose centuries-old frescoes, painted coffered ceilings, and rich tapestries evoke aristocratic splendor. The 116 guest rooms — including historic suites that retain original frescoes — are linked by a vast manicured garden centered on a long Medici-era fountain reimagined as a swimming pool with a heated Jacuzzi. With cloistered gardens that afford distant views of the Duomo, the hotel offers an opulent, removed refuge from the city’s bustle." - Laura Rysman
