Albergo Angelo (FLRVLVED)

Lavishly decorated 5 star hotel, unique in Florence, in a Renaissance villa only a few steps form Ponte Vecchio, in an exclusive position at Piazzale Michelangelo with a breathtaking view of the city. Panoramic terrace and swimming pool, whirlpool, Onice Lounge & Restaurant - Michelin starred in 2005 - pool bar, private park, sauna and fitness, complimentary car service to the city centre.

Leaving Viale Michelangelo, you enter an Italian garden, from where a tree-lined road leads to the entrance. The villa has an ivory and grey-toned Florentine Neo-classical facade, with wood frames hand-made by the fine craftsmen of the area. Behind the villa there is a large terrace, paved in sky-blue-grey stone known as pietra serena, arranged with tables and umbrellas to create an open-air lounge, where you can relax and admire the panorama. Below is the large outdoor swimming pool with a bar under a charming wrought iron gazebo.

During the years that Florence was the capital of Italy, a major urban-planning project opened the wide avenues and created a prestigious new residential zone, designed for Italian and foreign officials. Here, over the period of about 40 years spanning the two centuries, many splendid villas were built in the Florentine Neo-classic or Liberty style, of which this property is one.

To this day a private home, the villa was remodeled by the architect Piera Tempesti Benelli of Prato, in order to re-establish the original style of the rooms, with the classic stucco decoration so fashionable in noble homes at the time, created by Lombard and Piedmont artisans brought to Florence by the royal court. The interior design of Villa la Vedetta harmonizes contemporary elements with the antique ones that remain like memories throughout the villa. Almost all of the materials used are Italian.

The antique furniture has been chosen in a careful search throughout Italy and lovingly restored in Florence, where there are still many craftsmen with long experience in the old, traditional techniques. Today, the villa and its dépendance have been transformed into an elegant five-star luxury hotel with 18 rooms and suites.

Albergo Gilio (FLR5HAT)

The home of renascent elegance in Florence

Imagine waking up in a Florentine home of the sixteenth century: the colors and decor, then as now, speak of Tuscan, starting with the warm tones of mahogany, deep red terra-cotta floors to the banquet rooms with impossible high ceilings crowned by gleaming white, ornate baroque stucco work and vivid frescoes.

The completely restored, sumptuous hotel is a true gem of Florentine style filled with beautiful frescos, stunning antiques and only the finest furnishings and accessories. The palazzo is comprised of two buildings once belonging to the Arrighetti’s Family, one of the richest families of the 15th century and to Gerardo Gaddi, painter and a mosaicist whose works had been inspired by Cimabue.

Other delightful surprises await you at the hotel, where accommodations will suit the visitor who comes to Florence looking for a place to stay that reflects the city’s artistic and culinary heritage in a magnificent historical setting.

The Hotel’s restaurant opens out onto the garden, making it an especially pleasant place to have a typical Tuscan or international meal. And on the rooftop terrace you can enjoy a fantastic view that encompasses the all city: from the church of San Lorenzo to Palazzo Vecchio.
