Discover Historical Opulence and Artistic Grandeur at This Italian Palace in the Heart of Florence - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel
"A restored 15th-century Florentine palazzo that once belonged to the influential Portinari and Salviati families — including Folco Portinari and his daughter Beatrice, who inspired Dante — and was later expanded under Jacopo Salviati, husband of Lucrezia de’ Medici. After six years of meticulous restoration by the LDC Group, the property combines historic grandeur with contemporary luxury: ceilings and common rooms feature dramatic frescoes by Alessandro Allori and his workshop, the main floor contains an exclusive period residence of thirteen elegantly furnished suites with antiques and portraiture, and other wings accommodate prestigious residential apartments. Culinary programming by Chef Vito Mollica (in collaboration with Mine & Yours) includes a one-Michelin-starred, intimate restaurant with a seasonally driven menu, a convivial bar-and-bistrot serving à la carte breakfast, lunches, aperitifs and dinners, and a tucked-away speakeasy known for Americano cocktails and light bites. Five-star amenities include a covered pool, spa and wellness center, fitness facilities, private parking and complimentary Wi-Fi; standout accommodations include the fully restored Beatrice Portinari Presidential Suite. Centrally located, the property offers easy access to the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Galleria dell’Accademia, Palazzo Pitti, the Uffizi and Piazzale Michelangelo, with rates starting around $553 in low season and the closest airport being Amerigo Vespucci."
