A room at the Hotel Tornabuoni Beacci, Florence

A welcoming and comfortable atmosphere in a 16th century palace

The 80-year-old Beacci continues a 200-year hostelry tradition in this 16th-century Strozzi family palace at the foot of Florence's main shopping street.

The staff greets return guests and new friends alike with genuine warmth.

Everything is a bit worn, but there's a concerted effort to furnish the rooms with period pieces. It has frescoes in one of the suites and tapestries in the fire-warmed reading room.

The dining room is sunny, and the lunches and dinners are well prepared. In summer, you can take breakfast on a terrace bursting with flowers and a view of the Bellosguardo hills.

Off the terrace is a small bar, and there's an atmospheric reading room with a 17th-century tapestry and a large fireplace that roars to life in winter.

They're currently expanding into the floor below with a small conference room and 12 more guest rooms, including a suite overlooking Piazza Santa Trínita and a honeymoon suite covered with beautiful 17th-century frescoes.
