Palazzo Vecchietti

Palazzo Vecchietti puts you right in the thick of Florence, five minutes from the Duomo and a short stroll from Ponte Vecchio and Via de’ Tornabuoni. The 16th-century residence once belonged to a family of wealthy traders and Renaissance patrons, and today has the feel of a grand private address with serious hotel credentials. Expect original details, carved woodwork, crisp-lined rooms, discreet kitchenettes and personal service that makes Florence feel wonderfully manageable.
