S
et on the peaceful banks of the River Arno,
this elegant villa offers a tranquil retreat just
minutes from Florence’s historic centre.
Originally a 15th-century palazzo, the property
combines heritage charm with boutique luxury,
celebrating its artistic past as a gathering place
for the Macchiaioli painters through carefully
curated artworks and characterful interiors.
The atmosphere is relaxed and bohemian, with
parquet floors, creative design details and
inviting public spaces that open onto gardens
shaded by mature trees. Guests can enjoy the
year-round outdoor pool, hot tub, subterranean spa and complimentary bicycles for
exploring riverside paths and the surrounding
Tuscan countryside. Dining at Flora & Fauno is a
highlight, where Chef Kevin Mazzolin presents
refined Italian and Asian-inspired cuisine in a
sought-after setting overlooking the hotel’s
serene poolside terrace with river views.
