About this property

Luxury Renaissance Palace

A luxury Renaissance palace in the heart of where Renaissance was born. Located next to Santa Croce, our 3 bedroom house offers a peaceful stay faraway from the city noise. Offering Tradition & Modernity, our venue is a magical way to live Florence. Our venue is a pearl right in the center of the city. Every wall to be touched, hidden spot to be uncovered, painting and antique to be admired, will highlight its Renaissance essence and will embrace you throughout your stay.
Filled with history and mystery, our accommodation offers the perfect match between living the traditional noble Florence as it once was and our modern furnishings, such as brand new kitchen.

And with its spacious living-room and cozy bedrooms, our guests will have a unique time to relax in one of the finest houses in Florence, located in the very best part of the city. The living-room overlooks a totally quiet private garden.

Our third bedroom has a loft with two single beds, therefore we can comfortably host up to 8 people.

Fiber cable WiFi, flat TV with Apple TV and Netflix.

Wonderful Stay!

This home is in an excellent location. It had so many fun elements as you see in the pictures. It was clean and the air conditioning was very good. I was concerned about that because I get hot at night, but there were no issues. The owners were friendly, flexible, and responsive. Overall, a wonderful choice for our Florence visit!

Spectacular central location!!

Our family of six enjoyed the very central location of the property, and the space was perfect for us. Always fun to stay in a building that is older than the country you are visiting from, we enjoyed the interior architecture immensely.

About the host

Hosted by Elisabetta and Cosimo Spagnoli

Host profile image
My name is Elisabetta, I was born in Florence where I live with my husband, an architect, with my three wonderful cats and my sons when they return home from London where they live. I work for the European University Institute as an event organiser. I love sports, books, nature, travelling and beautiful environments.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in this apartment, my mom still live next door in the other part. My parents were art gallery owners, they have always loved being surrounded by art and antiques, and the apartment has been left exactly as it was when we lived there, full of amazing furniture and pieces of art. If you want to experience the feeling of a real home, furnished to live in, not to rent... well, this is the place.

What makes this property unique

The benefits of this place are many and I could boast them all, but I prefer to let you discover them by reading what one of our previous guests said about us, what better than a real experience?
"The apartment is stunning, including magnificent ceiling frescoes from the 16th century in the first floor bedroom. She gave us a complete tour of what was her childhood home, still owned by her and her family, of the place.
The location of the apartment really couldn't be better. It's a stone's throw from the Santa Croce Basilica, which is one of the most beautiful churches in Florence. It's also a very short walk to the Duomo, Uffizi and other piazzas of interest, as well as the Ponte Vecchio.
The apartment is truly unique, as it is built up around the core living room with vaulted ceilings (that was the old arms room of a 600 year old palace). The spiral stairs are truly one of a kind, and while maybe not appropriate for young children or elderly guests, make staying at this apartment feel like living in Renaissance Florence from the days of old.
However, don't let the authentic experience make you think that you'll be faced with medieval amenities; the apartment is fully upgraded where it counts in the kitchen and bathroom, and the beds were very comfortable in all three bedroom areas."
