Residenza d'Epoca Bretagna (Historical Residences) Firenze

Few hotels in Florence are able to offer their guests a room with a view of the city's world-famous Ponte Vecchio. Residenza d'Epoca Bretagna is one of them. Situated on the Lungarno Corsini, on the right bank of the river Arno, the hotel occupies the 15th century Palazzo Gianfigliazzi, an historic edifice which, ever since its construction, has been the preferred Florentine residence of a string of illustrious personages, including the poet Alessandro Manzoni (the "father of the Italian language") and Luigi Bonaparte King of Holland, who became its owner in 1828.

Today's hotel perfectly combines the charm of a beautifully conserved period building and the comfort of a modern hotel, right in the center of the Tuscan capital. In fact, those who choose Residenza d'Epoca Bretagna for their holiday in Florence can expect to enjoy a vacation immersed in the elegance of times past whilst enjoying every contemporary comfort, from air conditioning to wi-fi internet zone. The immense halls of the ancient Palazzo Gianfigliazzi have been transformed into the hotel's reception, lobby, breakfast room and fabulous, river view bar, which stocks an excellent selection of Tuscan wines.

Hotel Residenza d'Epoca Bretagna provides unique guest accommodation in various categories of room. The Historical Junior Suites, characterized by splendid frescoed ceilings, are suitably sumptuous, as are the Junior Suites with View which, with their magnificent view of Ponte Vecchio are, not surprisingly, among the most sought after in the house.
