Our hotel is situated in an important historical Florentine palace.
in the 15th century, its story is told by the wonderful frescos with S. Giuseppe(Joesph), Madonna(Mary), and the baby(Jesus), all located on the ground floor. The hotel was made biggerin the 18th century by Marchesi Capponi, a famous noble Florentine family. In the 19th century, the palace was newly transformed in a neo-renaissance stlye.
The interior still preserves important pistorial decoratives and frescos. You can enter in the palace also by the back garden- Lungarno Sederini. Parterre keeps the original shape of the 18th century.
