"Set within the historic Palazzo Galli Tassi, a grand 16th‑century residence with soaring ceilings, an original staircase, and well‑preserved frescoes, this property functions as both a boutique hotel and a creative hub — a studio and workspace designed to inspire artists and creatives. Rooms range from a smaller studio to a double‑room suite and marry contemporary artistry with Scandinavian minimalism under the vision of founder Martino di Napoli Rampolla in collaboration with Andrew Trotter. Breakfasts, prepared by the in‑house chef, are a minimal but well‑curated affair served as you descend the palazzo's spiral staircase, and there's also an off‑site one‑bed apartment once home to writer Tiziano Terzani available for stays." - Lucrezia Worthington

"Within a three-floor artist-residency building, this loft trades Tuscan coziness for soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and sparse-but-striking furnishings. Prioritizing raw materials, it feels like a blank canvas—an inspired choice for longer creative stays. Amenities are pared back but practical, including a hair dryer, bidet, and crib." - Elly Leavitt

"A creative hub housed in a 16th-century palazzo that functions as both a small hotel and a nexus for artists and designers through its residency program. Six airy loft-like rooms display contemporary works from past residents alongside vintage design furnishings, and the property programs concerts, exhibitions, communal dinners, and a chef residency — fostering a strong sense of community and placing guests within Florence’s artistic scene." - Laura Rysman

"Opened in 2016, this residency draws international talents to develop new work during their stay and to foster a genuine sense of community; visiting chefs, in particular, use their time here to draw inspiration from Florence’s cuisine and seasonal produce, a rare model among chef residencies." - Laura Rysman
