An aristocratic 16th-century Oltrarno palazzo converted into an all-suite luxury residence, with a rooftop terrace overlooking the Florentine skyline and grand original interiors.
Palazzo Magnani Feroni occupies a 16th-century aristocratic palazzo on Borgo San Frediano in the Oltrarno district, built for a noble Florentine family and retaining an extraordinary level of original grandeur: frescoed ceilings, a monumental staircase, and antique furnishings throughout. The entire property operates as an all-suite residence, with just twelve suites spread across the historic building.
Each suite is generously proportioned, with high ceilings, period furniture, and a small kitchenette - a practical touch for longer stays. The scale and formality of the rooms give the sense of staying in a genuine Florentine noble apartment rather than a conventional hotel room.
The hotel's rooftop terrace is a standout feature, offering panoramic views over the Oltrarno rooftops toward the Duomo and the historic center across the river, and is used for breakfast and evening drinks in good weather. The Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace are both within a 10-minute walk through the Oltrarno's artisan streets.
