The house itself is tucked just behind the Duomo (or cathedral) in the ancient building where artist and sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti created the famed Porte del Paradiso, the magnificent doors of the Baptistery. The modern paintings that decorate the hotel are by Fabio Calvetti, a renowned artist from Certaldo near Florence. The mosaics meanwhile were created by Angela Ceri, a Florentine who has researched the antique traditions of mosaic work using original tools and traditional materials such as stone, marble and vitreous paste.
The French-Italian owners have worked in some of the greatest hotels in Florence and have drawn on their years of experience to create a unique place, where you can really feel at home. The front desk is open 24 hours a day, and the staff will be delighted to help you plan your stay and make the most of this great city.
