Hilda
Contemporary Italian apartment-hotel. Clean lines, cream and beige palettes, black Marquinia marble bathrooms, teak floors, designer furniture. Feels like borrowing a chic Florentine friend's flat rather than checking into a hotel.

Why It Matters
One of the best-located small properties in Florence — a 1-minute walk from the Accademia and a 3-minute walk from the Duomo — inside a genuine restored nobleman's palazzo. Only 12 suites keeps it quiet and personal. All units have full kitchens, which is rare at this quality level.
A 12-suite apartment-hotel in a restored palazzo that once belonged to the Counts Guerrini — specifically to the family member known as Aunt Hilda, who gives the place its name. The building sits about 200 meters from the Accademia (and Michelangelo's David) and 248 meters from the Duomo. That means the cathedral bells will absolutely wake you up in the morning. But the tradeoff is a genuine historic-center address with zero commute to Florence's greatest hits. Each suite functions as a real apartment: full kitchen, separate living room, teak floors, Philippe Starck chairs, and Simmons hypoallergenic mattresses. No restaurant, no pool, no gym — this is apartment living with concierge-level backup.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Deluxe Suite
A step up in space and comfort at 65 sqm. Separate bedroom and living room, walk-in closet in some units, and side views of the Duomo from select rooms.

Sofa bed in living room for one extra guest at €30/night surcharge.
King · 65 sqm
Junior Suite
The entry-level option and still a genuine apartment. At 50 sqm it's the smallest of the four categories, but that's still very generous by Florence hotel standards. Queen-size or twin beds, bathroom with shower or combined tub-and-shower. Living area and kitchen share one open space. Sleeps max 2 adults plus one infant (complimentary crib and high chair). Calm off-white walls, teak floors, beige furnishings.
Queen or twin · 50 sqm
Suite with Balconies and View
The suite with actual outdoor space — private balconies and views of the surrounding historic rooftops. 60 sqm, large walk-in closet, dining area for 4 people, and a bathroom finished in black Marquinia marble with 600g towel sets and Frette bathrobes. King-size or twin beds, Simmons mattress. Sofa bed available for one extra person (surcharge may apply). The balcony is the real selling point here.

Top Floor Grand Suite
The flagship unit and the most private in the building. 75 sqm on the top floor (elevator access), with king-size bed in a master bedroom, spacious living room, and a bathroom with shower and black Marquinia marble countertops. Two flat-screen TVs, DVD player, and a free library of 120+ titles at reception. A Nespresso machine with complimentary waffles, yoga mat, weights, and exercise bike — which makes it the closest thing to a gym on the property. Decorated in cream, antique rose, and beige tones with fresh orchids and scented candles. Sleeps 2 adults; one extra person at €30/night.
