A visit to Florence will be enhanced by a sojourn in the magnificence and charm of a Palazzo of the Renaissance
Here the guests will feel the unique atmosphere of a palazzo which has remained unaltered throughout the centuries. Palazzo Tolomei is situated in the very heart of the historical and artistic centre of Florence and is at a stone's throw from the Duomo, Michelangelo's David, the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, and the Uffizi Gallery.
The suites, appartments and rooms have all maintained the charm of being immersed in art and beauty. The precious frescoes, statues, and stuccoes present in every part of the building bring to mind the extraordinary artistic wealth that typifies the Florentine Renaissance.
Just step outside and you will be met by the joyful atmosphere of the city centre full of shops, boutiques, refined artisan ateliers and restaurants serving the best traditional Florentine and Tuscan fare.

Palazzo Tolomei has kept its unique charm intact, where art and history blend together to offer its guests an unforgettable stay.
More and more precious works enriched the palazzo throughout the years such as the statue of Diana in the great courtyard by Giovanni Baratta and the statue of Hercules on the main staircase by the entrance.
However, the frescoed rooms are the most emotional. They might portray the event that the artist was commissioned to paint: the wedding ceremony of the then lord of the palazzo, Leon Battista Del Chiaro (a very rich goldsmith without a title) to a noble lady of the Ugolini family.
