Palazzo Vecchietti

Staying at Palazzo Vecchietti was an absolute dream and felt like living in a mini museum! This historical building is incredibly stylish, and every detail contributes to its unique charm. The location is unbeatable, just a few blocks away from the stunning Florence Cathedral, and other city's main attractions. Leonardo made us feel incredibly welcome with tasty snacks and coffee. He was patiently offering professional suggestions for places to visit and recommending some fantastic restaurants in Florence. Our room is spacious, cozy, and just as stylish as the rest of the hotel. We were also incredibly impressed with the timely room cleaning service – our room was tidied up three times a day, so it was always pristine when we returned. Last but not least, the breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of selections to choose from.

Every minute of our stay here was excellent. Starting with the check-in, you’ll recognize the amazing level of service that is consistent throughout your entire stay. All of the staff is extremely friendly, attentive, and helpful with anything you need. The property is beautiful, with large, comfortable rooms. The bar, which is open only to hotel guests, is a wonderful place to have a pre-dinner drink or wind down after a long day in a very quiet setting. We wouldn’t change a thing about this place!

Had a great stay here. It is centrally located and they really take care of you and everything was really nice. The food, the service, the room, were all very nice. ||Only criticism would be, to provide a little more information beforehand on getting in the door at the very start. That would have been helpful. There was not a person on the curb, so we just found our way in, which felt kind of awkward.||But everything was great after that!||Great Place!

Palazzo Vecchietti was one of the best stays I had during my Italy trip. The suites are huge - I loved the feeling of staying at an old, yet contemporary and luxurious, palace. The breakfast and turn down are top-notch, but what sets this place apart is the welcoming and helpful staff. This was my first time in Florence and Leonardo was fantastic in helping me navigate the attractions and securing last minute reservations to the Uffizi. Italian hospitality at its finest.

Perfect Stay at the Heart of Florence – My Favorite Hotel in Tuscany! During my 5-day trip to Tuscany, staying at Palazzo Vecchietti was by far the highlight of my journey. This beautiful historical hotel truly stands out — not just for its elegant charm, but for the warmth and professionalism of its staff. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with kindness and guided through the fascinating history of the property, which made the stay even more special. The location is unbeatable — right in the center of Florence, yet our room was incredibly quiet, spacious, and impeccably clean. I also appreciated the high level of security and privacy, with only 15 rooms in the hotel, making it feel intimate and exclusive. Breakfast was delicious, and the complimentary snacks and bottled water in the room were a thoughtful touch. The hotel also handled our car parking for €60 per day, which was convenient. This will definitely be my go-to escape every time I visit Florence. A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful staff for making our stay unforgettable!

I was really looking forward to this property- from the photos, it looks like a real palace. As a HH Diamond, I was 'upgraded' to an attic room with low ceilings and no windows. There was an interesting open-air roof terrace accessible by a narrow staircase, but in general, the room design and especially the kitchen and furnishings were disappointing. On the positive, the location is excellent and the staff are super friendly. Still, this is nowhere near 5 stars- no restaurant, no 5-star hotel amenities, and when I asked for a breakfast-to-go for an early departure, it wasn't ready on time, and the staff forgot to provide any cutlery which rendered most of the contents inaccessible. There are beautiful public spaces here but adjust your expectations for something more like an AirBnB at a seriously inflated price. The hotel's replies to negative reviews demonstrate that they're not particularly receptive to criticism, which sort of tells you all you need to know.

An amazing hotel! The room is so lovely and the service is just amazing. The hotel is at the heart of Florence and is built on the Vecchietti family’s residence. The staff will proudly tell you about the history and give you tips on where to go/what to see in Florence. They also have sweets, snacks, herbal tea prepared for you each night, and the attention to detail in the service is unparalleled. The whole experience is top notch. Also if you are driving to this hotel, be aware that you’ll be entering ZTL and driving in very narrow streets maneuvering between crowds of tourists. The hotel will take care of registering your car so driving in ZTL won’t be an issue Parking is €60 per day and breakfast is included

Absolutely amazing stay at the perfectly located hotel! Every sense of the phrase Small Luxury! The staff and customer service was premium and it is walking distance to all the main attractions. Probably my best hotel experience ever and it was for a short 2.5 days!

What an incredible stay we had here - the staff is incredibly kind and accommodating and the rooms are top notch. They were particularly attentive to our 13 month old who was traveling with us. You absolutely get what you pay for here, and we will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Florence!

I love this hotel. It thus far has surpassed the experience I had at Portrait Suites in Rome. Luca greeted me at the door and offered sparkling water and champagne while I was in the sitting area waiting for them to check me in. All the meanwhile he provided a brief overview of highlights and services at the hotel. The highlights served as a refresher since my last trip here. The restaurant recommendations and offer to set up reservations will make the trip smooth. There is morning breakfast at the third floor or option to have it for room service (charge included in hotel rate). Finally the location is central to attractions in the town, dining, and temptations galore for shopping!

My husband & I stayed here during our honeymoon and we absolutely loved it. The hotel staff was extremely welcoming and accommodating. They greeted us warmly with food and drinks and marked up a map of the local sights for us. They even upgraded our room for us for free. The room was clean, beautiful, comfortable and full of charm. Paola, Leonardo & the rest of the staff there went out of their way to make our stay as amazing as possible. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends. It's also in a very central location which made getting around that much easier.

This wonderful boutique hotel, located just off the Piazza della Repubblica, feels like a second home. We spent 2 nights here just before Christmas, then returned for New Years Eve. Paolo, the hotel manager, should write a book on hospitality management. Everything was absolutely perfect, and we felt welcomed and pampered from the moment we arrived. We took the penthouse suite, which had a lovely outdoor terrace and a sauna in one of the bathrooms. It truly felt like a second home. Can't wait for our next stay.

what a wonderful spot, with a perfect location on one of the best cities in the WORLD! The rooms are very spacious, the amenities waaay above normal and the staff is willing to do just about anything to help or guide you. Breakfast (included) is spectacular compared to almost any other I've had, and they will deliver to you room if requested. I'm a vet of probably 2,000 hotel nights (long career with lots of travel) and this is in the top 5 places I've ever stayed on several continents. We were in room 302, which had a lovely small deck with views to the Piazza Republica---sublime at sunset with a bottle of prosecco and a Cuban cigar. Look no further...this is the spot. if you're hesitant due to budget, find a way to stretch and make it happen, you'll be happy you did.
