A 16th-century former noble residence converted into an intimate all-suite luxury property just off Via de' Tornabuoni, with only 14 rooms and a highly personalized level of service.
Palazzo Vecchietti occupies a 16th-century former noble residence on Via degli Strozzi, just steps from Florence's principal shopping street, Via de' Tornabuoni, and the Piazza della Repubblica. With only 14 suites and apartments across the building, the property operates with an intimacy closer to a private residence than a conventional hotel.
Each suite is individually designed, blending original architectural features - vaulted ceilings, exposed stone, wooden beams - with contemporary furnishings and, in several cases, a small kitchenette. The scale of the property allows for a highly personalized style of service, including a dedicated concierge and personal shopping assistance for guests visiting the surrounding fashion houses.
The location is exceptional for walking: the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, and Ponte Vecchio are all within 10 minutes, and Via de' Tornabuoni's luxury boutiques are immediately outside the door. The property does not have a restaurant of its own, relying instead on the wealth of dining options in the surrounding streets.
