Set in a magnificently restored 16th-century palace, Residenza del Moro Hotel is full of character with architectural features, works of art and frescoes that represent 500 years of Florentine culture. With 11 stunning suites, butler service, a relaxing courtyard and a fabulous rooftop garden, this intimate hotel is a peaceful retreat in the centre of Florence.

Each of the 11 suites at Residenza del Moro Hotel has contemporary works of art on the walls, as well as original 18th-century frescoes, stucco work, silks, brocades and antique furniture. Some of the suites are extremely spacious. The atmosphere here is one of grandeur but far from overwhelming, it feels warm and welcoming.

Be sure to visit Florence’s highlights, the Duomo and Baptistry, the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia with Michelangelo’s David. Devotees of Michelangelo should visit the Medici Chapels and library at San Lorenzo. When the pressure of museum visits becomes too much, head to Fiesole just outside the city, for Roman remains and a breath of fresh air before returning to Residenza del Moro.
