The house
NH HotelsFrescoed medieval quarters
Original wall frescoes and a 13th-century stone tower anchor one of the oldest operating inns in Italy.
“Rooms have stripped-down decor: white with red accents, and contemporary elements. Marble-and-granite bathrooms are well designed and state of the art.”
What it’s good at
Notable
Twentieth-century Italian modernist pieces set within classical Renaissance proportions.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
it’s a remarkably contemporary space, with 20th-century modernist furniture existing happily side-by-side with antiques of all eras, in that effortless, quintessentially Italian manner.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Via de' Tornabuoni boutiques sit around the corner, and the Ponte Vecchio is a five-minute walk away.
The rooms
Restored frescoes and timbered ceilings appear in select rooms. The Monalda Suite occupies the medieval tower.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
PORTALE serves modern Tuscan fare under vaulted ceilings, and the bar mixes rum-based twists on the Negroni.
How it began
An inn has stood on this corner since the 1300s, later welcoming Grand Tour travelers like Byron and Stendhal.
