Florence is a magnificent open-air museum, a microcosm of unique masterpieces in the world. Hotel Calimala is located in the heart of the city center, in the perfect place to dive into art and take it in all in one breath.

Palazzo Vecchio

Palazzo Vecchio

An ancient Medici residence and seat of the sixteenth century Lordship, Palazzo Vecchio fascinates with its solemn aura. The studded façade, the coats of arms of the most powerful families, the Torre d'Arnolfo that stands austere in the Florentine sky, hold so many unsuspected wonders. The Salone dei Cinquecento and Vasari's paintings, like the secret rooms of the Medici, take your breath away.

It is not easy to resist a designer bag or a suit just off the catwalks of Milan. Don't: Via de' Tornabuoni, a few steps from our hotel, is the headquarters of luxury shopping. International fashion boutiques, prestigious jewelers and glittering shop windows open up in front of you, on a street full of stars

The bridge erected in the narrowest part of the Arno river, in the heart of the city, is a precious mirror walk on the river. Where butcher shops and fruit and vegetable shops hawked their wares in the Medici era, now fabulous jewelers and goldsmiths shine.
