"Set inside a famous 15th-century palazzo once home to Dante’s Beatrice, this Two-MICHELIN-Key stay recreates Renaissance romance for a modern audience while sitting right around the corner from Florence’s medieval cathedral. The 13 suites marry period aesthetics with the full amenities of a contemporary Italian luxury hotel, and indulgences like the luxe Vita Nova spa and the MICHELIN-Starred restaurant Atto di Vito Mollica sweeten the deal." - Laura Rysman

"Set within a restored 15th-century patrician palazzo, I experienced Palazzo Portinari as a luxurious, storied retreat: 13 suites sit on the noble floor beneath soaring, decorated ceilings, antique tapestries and artworks still adorn the walls, and frescoes by Alessandro Allori and richly coffered ceilings have been diligently restored. The Renaissance courtyard hosts the MICHELIN-Starred restaurant Atto di Vito Mollica, where tables are watched over by a commanding marble statue of Cosimo de’ Medici, and a serene spa beneath centuries-old vaulted ceilings makes for an ideal cooler-day refuge. Suite rates fall to around €630 in the off-season from highs near €1,400, and the location places the Duomo and the Bargello museum just steps away." - Laura Rysman

"An architectural beauty with exquisite frescoes and a storied past: once the 15th-century home of Beatrice Portinari, Dante's muse, and the first residence of Cosimo I de' Medici; it also tempts food lovers with the onsite MICHELIN-Starred ATTO by Vito Mollica." - The MICHELIN Guide

"I always recommend it—the hospitality is top-notch, and of course there’s the fabulous restaurant of Vito Mollica." - Laura Rysman
