My wife and I spent four nights Palazzo Camugliano. It is a lovely, hospitable, beautiful and friendly respite in the heart of Florence. A five minute walk from Santa Maria Novella, two minutes from the Arno, and maybe ten minutes from the Uffizi, it is perfectly located. We loved many things about the hotel: the staff, especially; the public spaces (you could imagine you lived in an updated, beautiful 16th Century palazzo); the garden; the location. The next time we come back to Florence, we will return to this wonderful hotel.

“Perfect Hotel to feel the spirit of Florence”

My husband and I had the privilege of spending a week at the Palazzo del Marchese di Camugliano in Florence in May, and it was a highlight of our month-long trip to Italy. We have stayed in many fine hotels in both the US and Europe, but this one stands out as exceptional. To stay in a beautiful, historic Italian palazzo in the center of Florence was amazing, but it was more than that. This small boutique hotel provided an atmospheric experience that made us feel as though we were living in the Italian renaissance. Our spacious room was exquisitely painted in frescoes reminiscent of the historic buildings we visited in Firenze. Near our room, we had access to two beautiful, fresco-adorned living rooms full of comfortable seating where we enjoyed soaking up the ambiance in the evenings. It felt like our own palazzo, since we rarely saw the other guests except at breakfast, which was served in an equally lovely space adorned with original paintings of the period. Outside is a lovely, enclosed garden, complete with fountain – a private oasis in the midst of a busy and exciting city. The refined service was outstanding, unobtrusive and friendly, and each morning a concierge was available to answer questions, make recommendations, and call for transportation. The entire experience was unique and memorable, with every attention paid to ensure a remarkable stay. We loved it!

We now want to build a house to have a bedroom this big! We absolutely loved our stay here. The staff were very accommodating without being overbearing. We absolutely loved our room there during our stay, we also very much appreciated the outdoor space to be able to get outside in a quiet space after wandering Florence the surrounding areas all day. The continental breakfast that included a selection of a main entre was fantastic. We loved the orange juice that was available most of the day. The weather was not fantastic while were we there, they provided umbrellas while it was raining. It was also cold and had to have our cooler weather clothes cleaned while there. The service was quick, we dropped off in the morning and was delivered to our room by end of day, worth the price. Maid service was exceptional. Hotel was generally very quiet, and their outdoor space is fantastic as mentioned before. Enjoyed the neighborhood that were were in, easy walks to everything without a lot of noise. Easy walk to high end shopping, Duomo, Santo Spirito and Ponte Vecchio area.

“Experience History and Luxury in the Middle of Florence”

We stayed at this wonderful piece of History for 4 nights, and I would highly recommend this Hotel for anyone who would love to experience luxury in a not so contemporary way.

We stayed at this wonderful piece of History for 4 nights, and I would highly recommend this Hotel for anyone who would love to experience luxury in a not so contemporary way. First of all, it is not your regular Hotel. It is a former 16th century residence of the Nicolini family who purchased it from the most powerful family of the renaissance period, the Medici Family. You can see the passage of time in this Hotel, which is no less than a palace. We stayed in the Luminaia suite. It was pretty big with a green theme decor. Though I would have preferred the Cigna suite, however it was unavailable during the days of my stay. But the Luminaia too was a wonderful room with very high and decorated ceilings. The attached terrace garden is somewhere you would love to have breakfast and spend evenings on sipping some wine. The Nicolini family personally has taken care of the decor and the artefacts on display in the Hotel and its very tasteful. The breakfast room itself in reminiscence of dining like a king, and the breakfast staff is very cheerful and happy to fulfil all your request. Do not miss their croissants and breads at breakfast. Just one little request would be to serve freshly squeezed fruit juice instead of Canned juices for breakfast.
