Albergotto Hotel

Description

The ALBERGOTTO is situated in the heart of Florence, on the via de' Tornabuoni, at the corner of via della Vigna Nuova. Its windows overlook these two elegant streets, as well as the marvellous Palazzo Strozzi. During the 19th century tourists both Italian and foreign began to flock in great numbers to Florence, attracted by the beauty of its art, by its pleasant climate and by the green hills that surround it. Via Tornabuoni was Florence's drawing-room, indeed the drawing-room of Europe. Many of the aristocratic palazzos that line the street were converted into hotels, cafès and tea rooms for the benefit of the visitors. The ALBERGOTTO continues the tradition of the 'casa albergo', dating from the days when it was appreciated and frequented by famous visitors such as Verdi, Donizzetti, Gounaud and George Eliot (to whom there is a plaque on the façade). For a time the palazzo reverted to being a private residence, but after the Second War (when the Martelli family went to live in their country house) it re-opened as a hotel. Recently the ALBERGOTTO has been carefully restructured and restored by the Martelli family. Guests will find rooms equipped with every modern comfort, elegantly furnished with antique furniture (including family heirlooms), each one different from all the others, quiet and with delightful views. The ALBERGOTTO is within easy walking-distance of the principle museums, churches and historic monuments. Its central location makes it an ideal base for shopping or for business (only 5 minutes from the Centro Congressi).
