Review

this could be one of Inspirato best places, and we have been members for 8/10 years. The villa is spectacular. Although built in 1400s, it was modernized to accommodate the most sophisticated traveler. But the real bonus was your dream team there, led by Laura. Her and Simone were ready at a moments notice. Very warm and friendly. They arranged for a porter to meet us and haul our luggage up the 3 flights. Upon entering I was blown away. Laura gave us a thorough review of the villa. Roland had tried to give me an itinerary, weeks in advance but I was too busy w travel and work I had nothing planned. Laura then set up 2 day trip to Tuscany, with the best driver/guide in Florence imho, Ducco. I cannot rate an experience any higher.

Beautiful and great location

Such a unique property! Beautifully restored modern interior inside of a very cool old building. The frescoes and ceilings were great. The location was fantastic, a short walk anywhere you’d want to go. The only downside is since Florence is a city to explore with great restaurants, we didn’t spend much time in the apartment!

Great Location! Fabulous Villa!

This is one of the nicest villas we have stayed at. It is thoughtfully restored and impeccably decorated. The furnishings and beds are comfortable. It is quite large and offers privacy for all guests. The location is amazing...steps from the Orno River. There are a lot of steps to this unit...I do recommend the porter. We will definitely return to this beautiful villa.

Fantastic Home! Loved it All!

This property is great and I highly recommend it for your stay in Florence. It was literally like staying in a museum that has so much history. Of course, it's remodeled so it has all the luxury finishes you would expect from Inspirato properties. The location is great too, easy to get in and out on the town. Highly recommend the resturant located in the same building. Lastly the staff was no short of amazing! Valentia & Sophia thank you so much. Hope to be back soon!

Florence Contemporary / contemporary oasis..

Great apartment… huge Primary Bedroom (small bath) - 2 great en-suite bedrooms great for privacy and yet part of the fun… the whole place is very unique with a wide open feel despite not having a view… the huge windows give a sense of openess. We had a great time! Only downside is no elevator for luggage (walking up not so bad). Best thing… the fresco style Renaissance paintings on walls & ceiling… like your sleeping in a Palace!
