Perfectly placed in the city to offer the best of two worlds, the hotel offers 49 Guest Rooms, 28 Suites, and 6 Grand Suites. Multiple dining venues and event spaces include La Gamella, a fine-dining Italian restaurant with The Chef’s Table at its heart, mischievous Bar Bertelli, housed in the former principal’s office, poolside Cafe Focolare, and the original chapel, Sala Dorati and theatre, Il Teatro. Aelia Spa, the first-ever spa in partnership with Furtuna Skin, is a nature-ensconced haven dedicated to holistic wellbeing. The resort will also host a range of connection-driven experiences revealing Florence’s multifaceted Renaissance spirit.
