Excellent and highly unique accommodation. The location is ideal and is very private and quiet. The communication and service is excellent

The owner and staff were amazing. The Palazzo has an interesting history. Small treats available all day. Quiet and convenient location. Will recommend to friends and family.

Be prepared to walk 70m down the road for your breakfast. Noisy street - drunks 1am! Huge appartment but very limited services.

Great place and customer service was excellent
Carolyn
Stay in your own palace!
If you’re going to an ancient, romantic city like Florence, this is just the place to stay to keep the vibe. I can’t begin to describe the gloriously palatial decor—gilded mirrors, crystal chandeliers, ceilings covered with hand-painted frescoes, a grand book room and a music room with velvet couches and classical CDs. The rooms are spacious and well equipped with modern amenities like cappuccino maker, hot water pot, mini fridge and cool modern shower. We could open our window and see the Duomo! Wonderful, responsive snd helpful staff and great location close to everything. One of our must-haves was free breakfast. They give you daily meal vouchers for the most charming restaurant I’ve ever seen half a block up the road with great, filling options.
If you like new and modern, don’t stay here. Also, if you have mobility issues, you should know the elevator only goes to the main (lobby) level and suitcases will need to be carried up some steep stairs. Our stone floor was a little rustic too, but it added to the charm. The other slight negative was that there is a bar or two on the street below which can get a little noisy for a few hours at night. Bring earplugs and you’ll be fine.
Overall, I can’t say enough good things about this gorgeous hotel!

Excellent central location,walked to everything. Daniella and her staff are warm and welcoming. We truly felt like guests in her home, very helpful with restaurant reservations, spacious room and lovely breakfast. Know there are some stairs in the palazzo to negotiate to get to room, if you have mobility issues. Overall such a unique and wonderful place.

What a wonderful experience. First time staying in a palace. The staff was wonderful. They made me feel at home. My room was amazing. Very happy with my stay. Very conveniently located near all attractions. We walked everywhere and felt very safe. Thank you again to the staff. God bless...

What can be better than staying in a palace with a gracious, personable host.
DEBRA
The Hotel Tolomei was an unforgettable experience. It really was a Palace! When we arrived Danielli (the owner) welcomed us as if we were Family. The rooms were magnificent but welcoming. The frescos on the ceilings were original, the furnishings an eclectic blend and very comfortable. During our stay the whole staff treated us very warmly and were always happy to help us in every aspect of our stay in Florence. I would encourage anyone to go to Florence - even if it just to stay in this magical Palace.

We loved the experience it was much more than just a hotel stay. We went back in time to a very refine way of life. Daniella was very accommodating and made our stay ever so special.
LIN
Perfect stay. One recommendation: the water kettle in the room is too small, I need to refill tea pot a few times. Everything else is all good.
Sara
My stay was good. The location is fantastic and the owner and receptionist were very helpful and kind! Place could use more lightings inside and outside the rooms. I think the price was high for this place. Overall, it was fine and had no issues.
Melanie
I barely have words to tell you what a wonderful place this is. Daniella, the owner, made us feel so at home and cooked us the most amazing breakfast every morning. Ricardo shared his knowledge of the area and what restaurants to go to. Perfect location… just blocks from the duomo and the museum with the statue of David. Walking distance to train station.

Beautiful, historic stay in the centre of Florence
We had the most amazing stay at Palazzo Tolomei. It felt like we were sleeeping in a museum! Absolutely beautiful and the owner and staff were all so so lovely and helpful. Amazing breakfast too, couldn't recommend staying here enough!
Gregg
This was an amazing hotel with a wonderful and warm owner and staff. The breakfasts were amazing; they were the best we have ever had in a hotel with the only problem being too much good food. The hotel is convenient to seeing anything in Florence. We would go back to Florence just to stay there

Great local Florence breakfast, staff rivals 5 star hotels. Don’t stay at a major chain, you’ll never feel like you are a local and in the city.

Fantastic place to stay in Florence!
My wife and I spent five days in Florence as tourists and we are so happy we stayed at the Palazzo Tolomei! The location is perfect, a very short walk to the Duomo di Firenze and most of the main attractions in the city,
Verified traveler
This was the best place to stay in order to capture the true spirit of the city! It is situated in the heart of the city and just a short walk from many of the major attractions. What makes Palazzo Tolomei exceptional is the staff! The team prepare an amazing traditional breakfast each morning and provide reception in the evening with traditional drinks like sambuca and limoncello and chocolates! The ceilings contain frescoes and the furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. This will be my Florentine home whenever I visit in the future.

Was very awesome the staff provide a Mobile phone you can talk any place of the world without extra cost and use its data if you need check Google maps or web.

Amazing Palazzo
Beautiful, historic building. The rooms are large and lovely with 20 foot high ceilings. The owner and staff are kind, helpful and informative. The breakfast is delicious!
The location is fantastic for walking anywhere in the city. We appreciated that it was close enough to the train station to walk with our roll around suitcases.
Definitely staying there next time we are in Florence!

Great experience!
The picture does not lie! And who needs TV when you can just stare at those paintings on the ceiling. Lovely people, lovely place, the prime location (walking distance to everything, station, duomo, museums, shopping, eating steak) lovely lovely breakfast! We both fell in love with the place. Most of all, great staff! Nona's cake rules!!!!

An amazing stay in an amazing little hotel. Historic building so some of the things you take for granted in a large modern hotel are modified or not available. But it is a beautiful building and the rooms are great. Staff is outstanding and will go the extra mile. Rooms and bathrooms are clean. Breakfast is something special. And lastly, the location is perfect for getting around the historic sites. Will definitely return here on my next visit to Florence.

A gorgeous place to stay in the heart of Florence. The owner and staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. We got a bottle of champagne and a box of chocolate cookies upon checking in. We’ve travelled a lot but never got a reception like this before. Our room is more like a 2-bedroom apartment with a very large patio that has the view of the Duomo. I highly recommend staying in this place. Will go back for sure!
Amy
A Palace in Florence!
This place was the most beautiful room I have ever stayed in. Everything about this hotel was absolutely divine. It's a historical palace filled with the perfect mix of history and all the right touches of modern renovation. We stayed here on our honeymoon and it was the dreamiest place we could have imagined. The breakfast included is unbeatable they make a point to prepare authentic meals that are commonly eaten in Florence. We are dreaming of our next trip here.
Verified traveler
My family stay here for two days. Its a beatiful palace.
The welcoming host gave us a tour and details of all the beautiful public areas within this palace.. She provided us with a map and outline the easiest routes to find the sites. Our morning breakfast was amazing. My family truly enjoyed our stay here.
Thank you sooo much for making our stay memorable.

One of the best places I stayed. Very classic, and match the entire city of Florence. Very convenient location to everything. A must stay place. I'm definitely going back there.
Alberto
As in the name of the place, it is a structure from the Renaissance time but will all up-to-dade facilities; including microwave, refrigerator, coffee/tea machines and yes, wifi. Ms Daniella is a great hostess and willing to share her passion for all Italian: art, music, cuisine, etc. She and all her staff are very amiable and helpful. Breakfast was also a gourmet treat, from pizza to local fruits and very old Tuscan recipes. The place is a 5-minute stroll to Il Duomo plaza and an 18-minute taxi ride from the airport.
Mike
This hotel was well beyond what my wife and I expected! We were greeted with smiles and a lovely tour around this palace. The free bottle of wine was also a great touch! My wife and I will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Italy.
RichV
First trip to Italy and we were very pleased with the Palazzo Tolomei. The place is a museum in itself with statues, frescos, and an overall feeling of \"the renaissance\" everywhere you turn. ( The famous painter and artist Rafael actually stayed here back in the 1400's). It's location is in a great neighborhood with a supermarket close by, 100 yards from the Medici Riccardi Palace museum and the San Lorenzo church and square, as well as a short walk to the train station, which was helpful. Daniella, our host and her staff were wonderful. Very kind, genuine,and very helpful with advice and booking of anything we needed. Be sure to go to her breakfast, with outstanding local food set in a beautifully decorated room which truly makes you feel as if you stepped back in time. Thank You very much Daniella for treating my wife and I like part of your family. Arriverderci e' Ci Vediamo un Altra Volta!!

Nice historical place to stay!
This is a very cute, historical place to stay. The owner is very nice and has an artistic taste in decor. We enjoyed our stay here, and felt very welcomed. The staff is very accommodating and they wanted to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed during our stay. They even made our room up special for us, for our anniversary, which was very nice. This place is quite far from many of the main attractions, so much walking is required. We only were able to enjoy the breakfast on one day, as most of the tours we had booked were early in the morning. It was disappointing that we had to miss the breakfast, and It would have been nice if they had offered to pack us a small breakfast to go- maybe some croissants or something small...Just a suggestion. Maybe they would have if we had asked. Also, if you are booking this hotel on Expedia, just know that the pics of the rooms are not exactly the room you might have. I was disappointed at first because I paid extra to get the \"upgraded\" Deluxe room, which the pictures show having a canopy bed and/or painted murals on the ceiling, but our room was completely different, and did not have a canopy bed. And it had a painted wood ceiling. It was still nice, with lovely decor, but I am not sure we received the upgraded room we had paid extra for. Overall, it was a nice stay.
Verified traveler
Highly recommend
Fantastic hotel, feels a bit like home (if home was an Italian villa that is). The owner - Daniela - is very friendly and helpful. It's about 4 blocks from the Duomo and a similar distance from the leather market. Breakfast was delicious, you must try it at least one morning!
julie
The only place to stay in Florence
What an incredible place to stay in Florence! We were lucky enough to stay in a self contained apartment with an outdoor terrace and great views of Florentine rooftops. Daniela and all her team were so delightfully passionate about the Palazzo and ensuring guests had everything they needed. Stylishly furnished and decorated with care. Stay for the Sunday morning breakfast, we couldn't possibly sample everything but what we did was delicious, in comparison the breakfast at a cafe around the corner was disappointing. Good recommendations for sightseeing and eating, such a beautiful place to stay. We will certainly be returning!

I cannot say enough wonderful positive things about this hotel which lives like an apt or the staff who feel like family. They went above and beyond the necessary duties. We were upgraded to a suite with an outdoor living space and a view of Florence unmatched. We were given restaurant recommendations that were spot on! Would recommend and plan to stay again in the future!

This historic place is not just a hotel, it's an experience. The building is beautiful and the staff could not be better. The breakfasts were full of Florentine specialties and looked fantastic. The location can't be beat. We loved it!

A+ location & stay! Will return!
Wow is all I can say! My fiancé (who is Italian) & myself decided to take a drive to Florence on a whim to celebrate our anniversary & I found Palazzo Tolomei available that day for a very reasonable price. Normally I research every hotel very carefully before booking because I have worked in the hospitality industry & my standards are high but for some reason I just saw Palazzo Tolomei & just hit 'book room'. BEST DECISION EVER! The location is in the city center & close to everything. We phoned the staff about 10 minutes before we arrived & our car was picked up & parked in the garage promptly. When we went inside we were awe struck by the authenticity & historical beauty of the Palazzo! Daniela, the owner, & Irina greeted us warmly & gave us a tour of the property & common areas. We mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary & were treated to an amazing room & a complimentary bottle of champagne to celebrate. We asked for dinner reservations & we came down to get them only to find that Daniela had so graciously made us a reservation at a quaint & delicious place down the street! When we sat down the server brought over another round of champagne courtesy of Palazzo Tolomei! I can't say enough wonderful things about the Palazzo & their staff! Their attention to details & the care they show their guest is impeccable! I look forward to staying with me again in October with my whole family!

Period hotel, great history & fantastic location!!
Upon arrival the hotel lived up to every expectation I'd had from reading about it & seeing the photos.
We stayed in the Deluxe Suite which is beautifully decorated & overly spacious. The room was so big we found it a little hard to sleep but who can switch off in a city like florence sleeping in a 500year old palace?! Lol
Communal areas offer music & books for all guests which was a nice surprise I wasn't expecting.

Beautiful old Florentine palace, excellent service
We had an amazing two-night stay at Palazzo Tolomei during our recent honeymoon. The proprietor, Daniela, was more than gracious, and hosted an amazing breakfast for the guests one morning (which only happens once a month or so, we're told) - I think it was the best breakfast we had during two weeks in Italy! Our room (and, actually, the entire place) was absolutely gorgeous, spacious with a beautiful fresco painted on the ceiling. The location is also perfect, only about two blocks from the Duomo. It wasn't exactly inexpensive, but I think it was great value for the money. If we're ever able to go back to Florence, and I hope we are, we will definitely stay at Palazzo Tolomei! I couldn't recommend it more highly.
Patricia
It is a beautiful old Palazzo. My room though was very small and I did not get the internet unless I went down the hall to one of the public rooms. I had trouble getting into bed since the room was only about one foot wider than the bed. It did have a small kitchenette area so I was able to make coffee in the morning. All the public rooms in the Palazzo were very nice and comfortable. The restaurant for breakfast was around the corner and had a wide selection of items. On the weekends, though, they serve breakfast at the Palazzo and it was truly the best I had in my two week stay in Italy. It had meat, cheeses, tomatoes, breads and sweets that I couldn't begin to list here served in one of the beautiful rooms. Wonderful spread.

Atmospheric and Elegant
We stayed five days, and found it an interesting place, since it is not really a hotel/guesthouse. It is just an old historic building where the owners allow people to rent out rooms which has advantages and disadvantages. It's an old gothic sort of place, a little creepy on a dark day, but with plenty of character. If you are into atmospherics and history, arches, alcoves, heavy front door with iron portcullus things, statues, old stone stairs, and mysterious corridors leading into dark unknown areas, this is your place.
On the positive side, Daniella and Titiana were the two women there, and they were friendly and welcoming enough. The room was large, and the location is great, right in the middle of Florence. You can walk to everywhere.
However, being a sort of private residence, and often empty and forbidding, there is a feeling of intruding. There are so many rooms, and it's not clear where one should go. Looking for an attendant to ask a question, I called out into the main reception (empty), heard some voices, carefully walked into a room, and a strange woman came out, curtly telling me it was a private area. I was prompty ushered out.
One thing to keep in mind is that the breakfast is not what you'd think. The staff give you breakfast vouchers for 'Za Za', a nearby restaurant, and you walk there. Having said that, Za Za provide an acceptable fare, and it's a good place to eat at night, too - particularly for the 'bistecca fiorentina' - that huge T-bone steak.

It is an old palace, so some issues couldn't be helped. Some room's windows faced the courtyard. When people came back to their room late, the lights shone into your room and early single notice echoed throughout. Wifi was very sporadic through the ancient thick stone walls. Felt safe. Due to size and layout of room could be hard to get around furniture but overall the space was adequate.

This hotel sucks
I'm a single father traveling with my 7 year old. I made a reservation for 1 night to this hotel at 9pm and my reservation went through and I got a reservation confirmed by the hotel and travelocity. When my daughter and I arrived at the hotel door pulling our luggage for 15 min cross the streets, we got a door closed and a lady in the inter phone stubbornnessly staying that last check in is at \"7pm\". Despite I pay for a confirmed reservation for a room at 10pm, we were left in the street with no solution from this hotel for me and my 7yo. this is disgraceful and criminal. To our luck, near by hotels's lobbymen find us a backup solution.. Thanks to them we ended up having a room for that night. I would not recommend this hotel at all especially for single parents traveling.
I love ambiance
Nice hotel, great location!
This hotel was a lovely surprise! A gem in the middle of all of the hustle and bustle of the tourist attractions! The staff was kind and helpful, there were little extras that made it charming like teas, treats, bottle of wine, slippers, and the history of the building was unique...it was a castle. Loved it!!!

Palazzo Tolomei - Residenza d'Epoca was an amazing and unique experience. The hospitality from the proprietress and staff was warm, knowledgable - exceptional! The location was very convenient, the palazzo was lovely, our room was perfect, and the breakfasts were an experience in themselves - possibly some of the best food and ambience we experienced while in Italy. We will definitely stay at Palazzo Tolomei - Residenza d'epoch on our next visit to Florence.

Amazing hotel and the owner is the best
Best hotel experience!. The owner Daniella is amazing. She accommodates to all your needs. My wife was celebrating her birthday in Florence so when I needed flowers, Daniella personally went outside and got us amazing flowers. Great staff and great location. 5 star rating!!

Fantastic Palazzo and wonderful owner!
We loved Pallazzo Tolomei. It's in the perfect location for exploring museums and restaurants. The owner, Daniella Agnella is welcoming and charming. Her team is top notch and took care of our every need. Fantastic experience... And sleeping with Renaissance frescoes was amazing. We will definitely return and highly recommend.

Ideal combination of beauty and comfort
Historical palace very close to the Cathedral with stunning interiors giving guests a taste of a florentine nobleman's life since 1650s (when it was rebuilt). The place is run by an incredibly helpful lady, Ms Agnelli, who provides exceptional client care and has a real passion for helping tourists getting the most from their stay in Florence. Highly recommended.

Centrally located, helpful hostess
It's centrally located in the Florence old town. 5 minutes walk to Duomo. It's a historic building with a courtyard and gives you a feeling about the grandeur of rich families in old times.
Daniella is super friendly and helpful. She upgraded us to a 2-bedroom suites on the top floor, with a rooftop terrace with view of the city. We had to depart very early in the morning and she hand-arranged a breakfast basket for us to take onto the train. She also helped arrange a taxi to help us get to the train station, not knowing that taxis would be on strike the next day. When she found out in the morning, she rode her bike out to help us grab a taxi and we were able to catch our train. We were very grateful.
