A secret garden in the heart of Florence
Florence does history on a rather grand scale, and Palazzo Monnalisa lets you sleep right in the middle of it. This four-star hotel occupies a historic residence on Borgo Pinti, putting the Duomo, Piazza della Signoria and the city’s galleries and churches within easy wandering distance. Yet step back through the doors and the atmosphere changes completely.
The real scene-stealer is the hotel’s private garden, which dates back to the 15th century. Laid out in traditional Florentine style and filled with ornamental plants, it’s a wonderfully peaceful spot for escaping the sightseeing crowds. Rooms are individually furnished and vary in size and layout, with some overlooking the garden and selected Deluxe rooms adding furnished balconies. For considerably more elbow room, the Contessa Grand Room stretches to an impressive 75m².
Breakfast takes care of the morning fuel before Florence inevitably lures you back outside, while the surrounding historic centre is packed with trattorias, wine bars and cafés for later. A big perk here isn’t a checklist of resort facilities. It’s having Renaissance Florence at the front door and a centuries-old garden hiding behind it. Best of both worlds, really.

Find out more about Florence
As one of Europe's most historically important cities, Florence hardly needs an introduction. This sunny and startlingly pretty city in central Italy is where the Renaissance is said to have been born, through the genius of the enquiring minds that lived and thrived here. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Dante are just a few of the legendary names who called Tuscany's great capital home, and goodness, did they leave their marks on the city. Follow in the footsteps of Europe's most talented Renaissance men, treat your taste buds to hearty Tuscan treats and feast your eyes on more medieval art and architecture than you can handle on a holiday to Florence.
You can get a feel for the energy and turbulence of the city's past just by walking around its UNESCO-protected historic centre. At every turn, you'll find a magnificent building, an ancient square or a stunning bridge, each with a story to tell. There's simply no doubt about it, Florence is one of the world's most beautiful cities, a fact celebrated and reaffirmed by the masterpieces of art and sculpture that hang in its many high calibre museums.
