Dimora degli Affreschi… An entire Florentine palazzo transformed
CAVALIER PAOLO
Our Florence palazzo restoration has finally reached fruition near the banks of the Arno in the thriving district of Santa Croce
Promising a truly pampering Florentine experience and spanning the entire 5 storeys of the handsome 19th-century Palazzo Fossi beside the art-filled Horne Museum on the ancient Via dei Benci, this massively ambitious project is now opening its doors to its 10 seriously sumptuous Dimora Italia Collection apartments.
Sensitively reconfigured over a 3-year period by a highly skilled team of experts with a deep understanding and appreciation of the palazzo’s historic fabric, the apartments all follow a contemporary Florentine aesthetic and are primed to become our flagship properties within the top-tier rentals market.
A treasury of exceptional city-centre bases radiating positive energy and collectively named Dimora degli Affreschi (Residence of the Frescos), its accommodation ranges from a spectacular 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment showcasing towering ceilings cloaked in a vivid expanse of classical frescos, through to a stylishly attired 3 bedroom / 4 bathroom duplex with roof timbers and a pair of terraces peacefully situated to the rear, while the entirely bespoke interiors have been curated by ArchFlorence, the brilliantly gifted architectural designers we’ve partnered over the past 10+ years.
Centrally located within a stone’s throw of the Uffizi Gallery and conveniently close to – yet not overwhelmed by – an array of small shops, cafes and restaurants, Dimora degli Affreschi can host up to 56 guests when reserved for exclusive use, while all pristine spaces within have been meticulously prepared for your pleasure.
Boasting top-notch comforts and all the hallmarks of Dimora Italia Collection’s styling including air-conditioning, Wi-Fi connection, custom-made fixtures and delicious decor, the apartments are individually named in honour of the owners’ adored offspring and include the fabulous fresco-filled…
CAVALIER PAOLO (SLEEPS 4)
2nd Floor – 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms
Reached via a few steps up from the main palazzo entrance with stairs and / or lift to the
2nd Floor, this delightfully sunny apartment comprises:
An entrance hallway with mirrored cloaks cupboard opening to reveal…
An elegant open-plan main living space situated to the front of the palazzo, beautifully presented in quiet neutral and terracotta tones with the most gorgeous wooden chequerboard parquet flooring underfoot, 3 tall shuttered west-facing windows flooding the room with natural light and overlooking the palazzo’s decorative balcony and the Via dei Benci beyond, a sitting area with plenty of comfortable seating, a dining area with ghost chairs and hexagonal table hosting 6 guests, a streamlined and well-equipped kitchen with integrated appliances and, looking up, the most magnificent frescoed ceiling… Florentine heaven!
And on either side of the main living space…
A bright and inviting principal bedroom exquisitely attired in elegant mushroom and buttermilk allowing the spectacular hues of its frescoed ceiling to do all the talking, featuring a double bed with tailored upholstery and antiqued mirror-panelled surround, and offering plentiful storage space for those guests wishing to travel ‘heavy’ with an extensive wardrobe of outfits for every social occasion!
A separate luxurious bathroom in marble with soft lighting and a large rain shower enrobed in mocha herringbone ceramic tiling
The equally stylish 2nd double bedroom beautifully dressed in ivory and slate green, with a breathtaking ceiling fresco immediately drawing the eye, a double bed (which can be divided into twins at your request), plentiful storage and a sparkling en suite bathroom encased in marble with rain shower
On the ground floor there is a gym area with a mirrored wall, available to our guests, with two stationary bikes (one classic and one elliptical), weights and mats.
* Are you part of a larger group who’d like to stay together at the palazzo but in separate apartments? We offer 9 other deluxe apartments within Dimora degli Affreschi:
Duca Marco – 4 guests
Barone Achille – 6 guests
Don Tommaso – 6 guests
Conte Jacopo – 6 guests
Principe Ludovico – 6 guests

Marchesa Olympia – 6 guests
Visconte Filippo – 8 guests

PROPERTY PRÉCIS
An imposing Florentine palazzo brought up to date with aplomb!... and joining our hugely popular Dimora Nova Terrace nearby in raising our profile in this truly magical Renaissance city.
A gentle walk to the architectural masterpiece that is Florence’s iconic Duomo (but a little more effort is required to reach the top!), and close to the Basilica and sunny Piazza Santa Croce, and to the overwhelmingly spectacular, statue-dominated Piazza della Signoria for a generous helping of people-watching and a dose of Dolce Vita.
A short stroll along the nearby Ponte alle Grazie bridge crossing the Arno to the wonderful Pitti Palace and its treasures, the bucolic Boboli Gardens, and the unmatched city vistas from the Piazzale Michelangelo.
Artisans, markets, cafes, bars and restaurants are woven through the ancient streets (including the much loved ‘La Buchetta’ directly opposite and the rustic ‘Del Fagioli’ just around the corner!), while the handy Conad supermarket close by satisfies self-catering needs, and a nearby car park provides parking if arriving on four wheels.
Beds will be arranged as either doubles or twins as shown in the photos. The possibility of turning a double bed into twins or vice versa can be found in the description and must be requested at least 7 days before arrival.

The staff was exceptional, assisting us with day trip planning, making reservations, and providing invaluable local insights. The apartment itself was stunning, featuring beautiful alfresco ceilings, modern, comfortable beds, and beautiful finishes in the kitchen and bathrooms! The convenience of a lift was greatly appreciated, especially upon our arrival. The location in Santa Croce was perfect, offering easy access to taxis, buses, and walking routes. You get quickly to any area in the city. Also loved the peek-a-boo view of the Arno out of our window! It truly felt like a perfect blend between a hotel and an Airbnb experience. Highly recommended! Would stay here again and recommend it to our friends and family!

From the moment I made the reservation, the communication started with Camelia. I knew exactly where to go for parking and the address of the apartment. The apartment is beautifully appointed with everything that a traveler could possibly need. It is absolutely beautiful and provided a much-needed respite. We were able to extend 3 days and would have loved to stay longer. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. Each recommendation we received at check-in for restaurants and services were amazing. Questions were answered quickly and often before we asked. It’s the only place I would stay in Florence when traveling again.

Upon check in, they were able to get us a reservation at the fantastic restaurant across the street where we had an incredible meal. It was close enough to all of the attractions that you could be there in a few minutes but a little bit removed so that it was quieter at night and you weren't surrounded by tourists completely. The apartment itself was stunning, pictures don't do it justice. It had everything we could possibly need and more. We want to come back to Florence just to stay at this apartment again. Highly recommend!!!

Dimora degli Affreschi… An entire Florentine palazzo transformed
DUCHESSA SOFIA
Our Florence palazzo restoration has finally reached fruition near the banks of the Arno in the thriving district of Santa Croce
Promising a truly pampering Florentine experience and spanning the entire 5 storeys of the handsome 19th-century Palazzo Fossi beside the art-filled Horne Museum on the ancient Via dei Benci, this massively ambitious project is now opening its doors to its 10 seriously sumptuous Dimora Italia Collection apartments.
Sensitively reconfigured by eminent Venetian architect Alberto Torsello with a deep understanding and appreciation of the palazzo’s historic fabric, the apartments all follow a contemporary Florentine aesthetic and are primed to become our flagship properties within the top-tier rentals market.
A treasury of exceptional city-centre bases radiating positive energy and collectively named Dimora degli Affreschi (Residence of the Frescoes), its accommodation ranges from a spectacular 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment showcasing towering ceilings cloaked in a vivid expanse of classical frescoes, through to a stylishly attired 3 bedroom / 4 bathroom duplex with roof timbers and a pair of terraces peacefully situated to the rear, while the entirely bespoke interiors have been curated by ArchFlorence, the brilliantly gifted architectural designers we’ve partnered over the past 10+ years.

DUCHESSA SOFIA (SLEEPS 4)
3rd Floor – 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms
Reached via a few steps up from the main palazzo entrance with stairs and / or lift to the

An entrance hallway with mirrored cupboard opening to reveal a washing machine / dryer offering added convenience during longer stays
A stylish open-plan main living space situated to the front of the palazzo, pristinely presented in neutral and citrus tones with the most gorgeous wooden chequerboard parquet flooring underfoot, 3 tall shuttered west-facing windows flooding the room with natural light and overlooking the Via dei Benci, a sitting area with L-shaped sofa, a dining space with circular table and elegant modernist-style chairs hosting 6 guests, a streamlined and well-equipped, stand-alone kitchenette with coffee station and integrated appliances best suited to light cooking and, looking up, the most marvellous frescoed ceiling set to take your breath away!
And on either side of the main living space…
A light and airy principal bedroom exquisitely attired in vibrant tangerine and azure blue echoing the colours of the spectacular fresco overhead and furnished with a double bed with tailored upholstery and antiqued mirror-panelled surround and a spacious walk-around closet area to the rear
A separate luxurious bathroom in marble with soft lighting, a large rain shower and a stand-alone roll top bathtub where you can soak away your cares!
The equally elegant 2nd double bedroom in pretty mulberry and mauve featuring a walk-in closet just to one side, a sleek en suite bathroom to the other with marble-encased rain shower, and a pair of cheerful cherubs in fresco form hovering as if by magic above a beautifully dressed double bed (which can be divided into ‘close’ twin beds at your request!)
On the ground floor there is a gym area with a mirrored wall, available to our guests, with two stationary bikes (one classic and one elliptical), weights and mats.
