Palazzo Magnani Feroni

Oltrarno


This extraordinary old palazzo is utterly divine. Its 12 suites, which occupy four floors with the family's private residence wedged in between, are vast and elegant with period furnishings, rich fabrics and Bulgari toiletries. The 360-degree view from the rooftop terrace is unbeatable, as is the breakfast experience, served by white-gloved waiters in a sumptuous salon lit with antique Murano crystal chandeliers.
