The Palazzo Portinari Salviati Residenza D'Epoca is a 5-star luxury hotel located in the heart of Florence, just steps from the Duomo. This monumental Renaissance palace, dating back to the 15th century, is a true national artistic heritage, famous for having been the residence of Folco Portinari (father of Dante's muse, Beatrice) and the first residence of Cosimo I de' Medici. A meticulous restoration has revived the original frescoes, marbles, and period architecture, blending them with maximum contemporary comfort and home automation.
The Palace offers elegant Luxury Suites and Apartments (around 14 in total) that celebrate the history of Florence. The accommodations feature 18th-century frescoed ceilings, precious marble finishes, King Size beds, and luxurious private bathrooms with a separate tub or shower. Many Suites boast a unique view of Brunelleschi's Dome. All are equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, minibar, and air conditioning. For stays of at least two nights, a welcome cocktail is included.
The culinary experience is overseen by the renowned Chef Vito Mollica. The gourmet restaurant, "ATTO di Vito Mollica", (1 Michelin Star) offers high-end cuisine inspired by Tuscan and Italian traditions and is housed in the magnificent setting of the Corte degli Imperatori, rich in frescoes. In a more informal setting, the Salotto Portinari Bar & Bistrot offers revisited regional dishes, exclusive cocktails, and aperitifs.
The Vita Nova Spa, a temple of wellness spanning approximately 500 m², is a tribute to the Supreme Poet and offers a regenerating journey. The wellness area includes a heated indoor pool (with ozone therapy at 34°C) and whirlpool, a Finnish sauna (90°C), a Turkish bath/hammam (45°C), a relaxation area with a tea corner, and a fitness zone. Holistic beauty treatments and rituals are available. Access to the SPA is generally limited to 2 hours per day by reservation (admission is allowed from 16 years of age).
The hotel offers luxury services such as the 24-hour reception, efficient room service, and valet parking (for a fee). Personalized experiences can be organized to explore Tuscany and its culture, including private museum tours, wine tastings in the Chianti vineyards, private golf lessons, or artisan workshops (silk, leather).
