The opportunity to stay at a 16th century palace doesn’t present itself every day, so with the chance to do so, at Palazzo Tolomei Residenza in Florence, we didn’t hesitate. The authenticity and beauty of the palace is well preserved and well decorated. From the front gate and court yard to the beautiful frescoes throughout, Palazzo Tolomei will transport you back in time, making the experience of Florence more memorable. We extended our visit and therefore stayed in two different rooms, each spacious, elegant and comfortable. Complete with a music room and library, Palazzo Tolomei gave the feeling of home away from home, if you lived in a romantic palace, during that time. It was truly breathtaking.
They thought of just about every amenity from fresh fruit in the music room, bathrobes and slippers, tea, coffee, snacks, etc in each room. The location is within walking distance to many attractions, shopping, and restaurants in the city center. We enjoyed our quick stroll down to breakfast at La Ménagère each day, which was a lovely experience all on its own.
The true beauty of the Palazzo is Lady Daniela. She is so passionate about life, the city of Florence and the Palazzo Tolomei and it is infectious. Daniela’s hospitality, as well of that of her staff,( we met Guglielko or William) makes everyone that walks through its doors feel like honoured guest and leave feeling like old friends. We couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else on a return trip to Florence.
