The most beautiful and finest hotels in and around Florence, Italy
Florence, aka Florence, is the capital of the famous Italian region Tuscany. The perfect city for early summer or late summer. And of course an art city with an abundance of creativity and architectural highlights. And fortunately one thing leads to another... That creativity with Renaissance characteristics continues in the hotels. That is to say: hotels packed with artefacts, splendor and splendor; palatial. And because we are (very) secretly perhaps even more fans of the surroundings than of the city itself, we look a little further for this list. Because yes, being in the city is practical, but the gently rolling hills are what really appeals to us. Tadaaa, these are the most beautiful hotels in and around Florence in Italy.
Just over the Arno River, yes just there, there lies a decadent and quiet boutique hotel with the name Ad Astra. Hip and magical, but above all very charming. And what we are mainly referring to is the view over Europe's largest private garden within the city limits. Closed to the public, but from the terrace there is peace and quiet to enjoy in silence and dream away at the view.
And then the hotel itself… It has a very nice interior. A modern-retro design with vintage pieces from the fifties, sixties and seventies. And then the rooms: they are so spacious that each room has a claw-foot bath.
Oh how we love The Hoxton. Florence has a new favourite. Because the city is always a good idea, but with the opening of The Hoxton Florence we have yet another reason to travel. Located just off the Piazza della Libertà. Divided over two spectacular buildings, you will find 161 beautiful rooms (as we are used to), a restaurant with a coast-to-table menu, a lively wine bar, and a vast garden terrace where you will want to linger for days.
Start the morning with a long, lazy breakfast, but leave some room for more – because later in the day, Mediterranean dishes and classics inspired by the Italian Riviera are on the menu.
And then there is the event space – underground and perfect for a party, or maybe that special day of your life? Because yes, you can also get married here.
Hotel Oltrarno Splendid is spread over two floors of a typical Italian Palazzo which dates from the 16th century (!) and offers a view of the historic Via Dei Serragli in Florence. Tick box. The hotel is not actually a hotel. just a 'boutique bed & breakfast' with only 14 rooms, each with its own style and atmosphere. Hotelier and interior designer Matteo Perduca is the brain behind this you-want-it place and personally guarantees that everything (really everything) remains as he envisioned, down to the smallest detail.
Hotel, recovery, boutique B&B Oltrarno Splendid can be found a stone's throw from the compact center of Florence.
Hotel Villa le Barone offers the perfect stopover between Florence and Siena. And believe us, you might want to stay here a little longer than just one night. Or you could say: never leave again. Expect baroque style beds, fantastically sweet staff and an environment that you say 'you' to. This is the kind of place where everything comes together: swimming, good food, wellness, beautiful nature and even a bit of history. The rooms have a bit of a baroque style (little Bridgerton fantasy: that very hot Netflix series about the London high society from the 19th century), so that you really feel like a royal feels during your holiday.
The Place to be is in Florence The Place Florence. This timeless hotel is located in the heart of Florence, where perhaps the view of the hotel is the most unique. And yes, there are much cheaper places to stay in the Italian city, but a stay is definitely worth every euro. Detail is key with top quality bed linen and the fabric bags with slippers.
Street, yes SoprArno Suites is located. This is located in the Oltrarno district boutique bed and breakfast with 13 rooms. Put the team of architect Francesco Maestrelli, city resident Matteo Perduca and Betty Soldi together and the space is filled with a unique style of antique and discarded furniture and artwork. In the context of recovery and reuse.
