If you prefer a quiet stay away from the very center of town, yet still within walking distance from the main sites, we highly recommend the Al Palazzo Marchese di Camugliano. Located midway between Palazzo Strozzi and Santa Maria Novella, this restored mansion house will provide a welcoming classically chic respite from the busy town. The building is a renovated family residence and maintains some of its authentic features and charm, with marvelous original afrescos elegantly adorning the walls. The overall décor is opulent and classical, and you shall be enchanted by the lovely inner courtyard, where breakfast can be served at your request. The extremely polite and attentive staff will likely make you feel like an Italian aristocrat or, at the very least, a very important guest. There are ten uniquely decorated bedrooms, with poster beds, parquet floors, paintings and mosaics, comfortable beds and marble bathrooms. All rooms are spacious and elegant, and the suite facing the garden is especially luring.
