Reviews
Character and identity
Set inside the 12th-century Palazzo Minerbetti on traffic-free Via Tornabuoni, Florence's most polished shopping street, this 62-room bolthole has been rebooted by Milanese architect Andrea Auletta into something mod-opulent: original frescoes, plaster mouldings and marble floors intact, layered with floor-specific colour palettes, custom wallpapers, heavy silks and a wink of animal paintings. The ground-floor Il Magnifico does mod-Italian bistro cooking with a pavement terrace, the subterranean Le Cave hosts guided wine tastings, and rooftop Butterfly Terrace serves Campari spritzes with 360-degree views over the Duomo and rooftops. Service runs friendly and switched-on.
Who's it for
Best for:
Style-literate couples and solo travellers who want a central Florence base with design credentials and a serious shopping address on the doorstep. Fashion-minded guests, repeat visitors who've ticked off the Uffizi and want neighbourhood texture, and anyone planning to use the concierge for Chianti drives, Oltrarno artisan visits or cooking classes will get the most out of it.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers who consider a full spa non-negotiable should book elsewhere; the wellness offer is limited to a gym, personal trainers and in-room massage. Those wanting a grand resort-scale property with multiple restaurants and pool will also find this too compact and urban.
Bottom line
What you're paying for is the address and the design intelligence behind the rooms, not a full-service resort experience. Couples and design-minded solos should book confidently; splash out on a suite if frescoes matter to you (the Lorenzo Il Magnifico is the showpiece, the top-floor Tornabuoni delivers the terrace view), and time a visit for rooftop-spritz weather.
