Palazzo Vecchietti

Just got back from 3 days in Florence, staying at Palazzo Vecchietti. The location is perfectly located in the historic center, with less than a 10-15 minute walk to major attractions like Santa Maria Del Fiore, Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio. The room was a wonderful mix of modern aesthetic and functionality while maintaining its architectural roots as the Vecchietti family "home." All this is very nice, of course. However the staff of Palazzo Vecchietti was the real star of the vacation. Keep in mind that this is a very small boutique hotel as opposed to the large hotel chains with a large staff. With our frequent comings and goings at all hours, we invariably saw the same individuals who greeted us at the foyer, booked us restaurant reservations, arranged Valentine's Day roses and chocolates, booked transportation, prepared our morning cappuccinos, turn down service with hot tea waiting for us after a long day of walking...the list goes on. Yet it was always the same core group of highly trained, gracious individuals that may our stay the reason why we will be absolutely returning. Bravo, Palazzo Vecchietti!

This property is spectacular. The staff were exceptional. Ideally located to the main plaza with dining, shopping, and museums/catherdrals all within walking distance. The Palazzo Vecchietti is a gem of a property with alot of interesting history. ||The property is very private as only guests have access to it. That alone is unique, so you can escape the hustle and bustle for some real quiet time when you need a break. ||The gem of this property are the staff. It started when we arrived and Leonardo gave us a tour and historical overview of the property. Then he sat us down and walked us over the city with a handy map where he also made excellent restaurant suggestions.||Carlo the bartender was excpetional and easy to talk to as we bent his ear during most of our stay as we stopped for a night cap every evening. We really can't say enough about the entire staff. The breakfast team were incredibly attentive and helpful. You really felt well looked after at this property.||We will definitely come back here if/when we visit Florence again. It was our first time there and we stayed 6 nights and could have stayed longer.

Palazzo Vecchietti, built in 1578, was once the home of a prominent Florentine family. Bernardo Vecchietti, who commissioned the work, was a senator and patron of the arts. The Palazzo is now a beautiful small hotel, just one block off the Piazza della Repubblica. It’s been absolutely lovely staying here. The hotel is beautifully appointed and the staff is simply OUTSTANDING. Great breakfast (served in your room) and a wonderful bar/bartender.

We recently stayed here on the final night of our 30th anniversary trip through Tuscany. We couldn’t have picked a better capstone stop for exploring Florence and then getting a solid rest before an early morning departure. This luxury, boutique hotel by SLH group has just 16 rooms all within the original city palazzo of the Vecchietti family. The architecture has been preserved. The decor restored. And the property is updated with every expected modern convenience. This hotel has none of the quirks you often find in “old world” European hotels. The staff here were all energetically focused on delivering comfort and hospitality. We especially appreciated Luca’s warm greeting upon our arrival and his helpfulness as we sought to plan our evening and next day’s return to the airport. Our one regret was that we could only stay a single night (this time).

We had the very best experience of our travels across the world at Palazzo Vecchietti! From booking to our stay to our departure they were a five star team and the hotel was exceptional! Special thanks for the incredibly on point and classy turn down service. I loved the tea upon return and appreciated it every evening!

We had the absolute best stay at Palazzo Vecchietti—by far the best hotel experience of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with such warmth and care. Leonardo, in particular, made us feel truly important and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The service throughout was exceptional, and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed.||This morning we enjoyed the most incredible breakfast delivered right to our room—such a special way to start the day. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented.||We can’t recommend Palazzo Vecchietti highly enough. If you’re looking for luxury, comfort, and genuine hospitality in Florence, this is the place to stay.

Palazzo Vecchietti and the staff will always have a special place in our hearts. We stayed in the Leonardo da Vinci apartment and it was a true oasis for us during our four night stay in Florence. We have stayed in many wonderful hotels like The Peninsula, Four seasons etc. and I have to say I’ve never been more impressed than I was staying here at Palazzo Vecchietti. The staff is truly amazing, they went above and beyond in every aspect of service for us. When it comes to cleanliness and hotels I am extremely picky and I felt 100% at home here and was very happy with the cleanliness and comfort of our room. The beds are SO comfortable, the AC is great and if you can afford to have a room with a terrace do not hesitate to book! We absolutely loved having breakfast every morning on our terrace, it was a treat and they go above and beyond for breakfast. Everyone was so kind, we felt like family by the time we left. I teared up when leaving the palazzo because it was so wonderful and I definitely left a piece of my heart here with them in Florence. When we moved to Rome we stayed in another very highly rated palazzo but it truly didn’t compare to here. We both agreed that we will never stay anywhere other than Palazzo Vecchietti when we visit Florence and cannot wait to visit again soon. Thank you for making our visit so memorable and making us truly feel like apart of the family. Arrivederci till next time ❤️

Our stay at the Palazzo Vechetti was amazing. The property is gorgeous and the staff is second to none. Tomasso went above and beyond to get us to the hotel when we were unable to navigate the ZTL even walking 20 minutes to "collect us. Jordan at the bar and Samanta hosting breakfast are a pleasure. |From the sparkling wine welcome drink while Luca filled us in on the hotels history and must sees while in Florence to checkout, I couldn't have asked for more. The entire staff are just perfect!|Thank you Palazzo Vechetti for making our 1st stay in Florence a memorable one ❤️

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.

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.

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.
