Palazzo Gaddi Tivoli is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Florence. Located less than a five-minute walk from Santa Maria Novella, it’s perfectly situated and easy to reach. Our guests and we stayed here during our wedding this August, and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience or the immense hospitality shown by the entire Palazzo Gaddi team.
The hotel beautifully balances the designer feel of a boutique property with the amenities of a much larger one. The lobby, rose garden, and rooftop bar are all stunning—worth visiting even if you’re not staying overnight.
Service:
We cannot say enough wonderful things about the Meeting & Event Manager, Veronica. From the moment we first visited the hotel, she went above and beyond. Despite our last-minute request, she graciously squeezed us in for a tour that was incredibly thoughtful and detailed, walking us through every option for how we could use the spaces for our wedding events. She even surprised us with drinks and samples of light bites the hotel could provide—a truly lovely touch.
Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, Veronica’s care and attention to detail were exceptional. She coordinated beautiful bouquets to be waiting in our parents’ rooms (they were stunning!) and added countless personal touches to make our stay special. When we checked into the Presidential Suite, we were greeted with a handwritten wedding note, delicious aperitifs and snacks, and a beautiful gift from the Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. On our wedding day, she surprised us again with another sweet note and a candle from the hotel’s own collection—her kindness and thoughtfulness made us feel so pampered and cared for.
We also hosted several small champagne toasts and celebrations in our suite’s private patio, and the staff was wonderful about accommodating all our requests (and frequent asks for extra glassware!). They helped coordinate taxis for our entire wedding party with professionalism and care, ensuring everyone felt looked after. Our guests absolutely raved about their experience.
Room:
We stayed in the Presidential Suite, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. The room is spacious and beautifully designed, with breathtaking views and a private patio that connects directly to the rooftop bar. After four nights of wedding celebrations, returning to this serene, elegant space each evening felt like a dream. Waking up to the Duomo visible through our window is something we’ll never forget.
A huge thank you to Veronica and the entire Palazzo Gaddi team for making our stay so memorable. You made our wedding week in Florence truly magical—we can’t wait to return to our favorite city and stay with you again!
