Ricasoli Residence Hotel Florence Toscana - HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS
Residence Ricasoli offers more than just your ordinary Residence. We invite you to discover why.
It will surely be an extraordinary experience living in the atmosphere that this Palace, which once belonged to the noble Florentine family, Ricasoli, has created through its "stones" and the harmony of its portico, offering all services and comforts that a high quality, modern Residence has to offer.
The residence found its place in this Palace thanks to incredible work and retorations which made it possible to recuperate one of the most important monuments of Florence Renaissance.
The Reception area, which was for centuries the dining hall of the nuns of this once antique monastery, contains frescoes by Poccetti (1548-1612).
Ordered shortly after 1538 by Bishop Giovan Battista Ricasoli, the palace, opera of architect and humanitarian Cosimo Bartoli, became by the will of Cosimo de' Medici, the monastery of San Miniato al Ceppo, and was once again brought to life, although the ample gardens which once led to the walls of the city, were lost.
Given back to the Florentines, this prestigious work of art was put at the disposal of the citizens of Florence as a place to stay, for its position, only a short walk away from the most significant places where culture and entertainment, for which Florence is famous for, should satisfy the desire to discover and understand this city, one of its kind in the world, in its most authentic aspect.
A different experience therefore allowing one to feel Florentine among the Florentines.
