Placed on the main floor of a superb sixteenth century palace, the building has been magnificently restored to its old beauty, with its 11 beautiful suites, all decorated with their original frescoes. Each suite has been individually designed and features unique decorations, antique furniture, attractive fabrics, contemporary paintings and works of art. The beautifully landscaped garden continues the magical and private atmosphere of the Residenza, which offers an excellent breakfast menu, served either in the privacy of the rooms, in the garden or in the private parlour. On Via del Moro, one of the oldest streets, Residenza del Moro enjoys a privileged position among the 5 star hotels and luxurious residences in Florence, ideal for conveniently seeing the city on foot.
