Hotel Review

Dimora Palanca offers an exquisite retreat with its blend of modern art and historical elegance. Once a haven for the boho literary set, musicians and actors, it has had an extensive rennovation and now draws a more clean cut sophisticated crowd. The Garden Suite is particularly celebrated for its peaceful ambience and stylish furnishings.

Culinary delights await at Mimesi, where Chef Giovanni Cerroni presents dishes like marinated anchovies with vinaigrette foam.

A prized feature is the secluded garden - a serene escape from the city bustle - coupled with the exceptional service, this creates a haven of tranquility and indulgence.

This hotel is a masterpiece of design, combining luxurious comfort with artistic flair.

Dimora Palanca

For the restaurant; young Roman chef Giovanni Cerroni is serving up some of the most interesting and imaginative food in Florence at the moment. That aside, the hotel is a cool, arty oasis in this traffic-clogged corner of Florence, and if you are flying in or out of Peretola airport, the tram stop is steps away.

An oasis of cool, arty sophistication off the busy ring road to the west of Florence, offering easy access to the city centre, train station and airport. Its best features are the lovely garden and an exciting, high-end restaurant
