Royal Stay in Florence: A Renaissance Palazzo with a Heartfelt Welcome
There are places you stay, and then there are places that stay with you. Royal Stay in Florence is one of those rare gems—a historic palazzo that seamlessly blends the grandeur of Florence’s Renaissance past with the modern comforts discerning travelers seek. Nestled in the heart of the city, just steps from the Uffizi Gallery, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio, and the Duomo, this exceptional residence is more than just a place to sleep. It’s a portal into the soul of Florence, an invitation to experience the city as a Florentine, immersed in its beauty, history, and warmth.
A Palazzo Rooted in History, Lovingly Restored
Florence is a city where history is not merely preserved but breathed, felt, and lived in every cobblestone and frescoed ceiling. Royal Stay in Florence embodies this spirit in its truest form.“This is a building from the 1400s,” shares Diletta, one of the passionate caretakers of the property. “We tried to keep the history of the building intact, maintaining its original furniture, blending it with modern restructuring—especially in the kitchens and bathrooms—so that our guests have both charm and comfort.”
Each apartment within the palazzo is a testament to thoughtful restoration. The high ceilings, elegant archways, and preserved Renaissance-era details transport you to Florence’s golden age, while contemporary touches—sumptuous bedding, high-speed Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art appliances, and modern bathrooms—ensure that comfort is never compromised.
The commitment to keeping history alive while enhancing the space with modern luxury is what sets Royal Stay in Florence apart. “We’re happy with our restoration,” Diletta reflects, “and we hope to restore more apartments in the future, always within this building. This is our labor of love.”
More Than a Stay—A Personal Welcome
What truly makes this place special is not just the palazzo itself, but the people behind it. Staying at Royal Stay in Florence means stepping into a world where hospitality is not a transaction but a deeply personal experience.“What gives us the most satisfaction is receiving our guests, telling them the history of our building, how we restored it,” Diletta explains. “We welcome them personally at check-in, we talk to them, we explain everything to them, and we give them any information they need. It’s a great joy for us to have guests who are happy, who appreciate our place, our work.”
Florence is a city best experienced through personal connections—with its art, its food, its stories. That’s exactly what you’ll find here. Filippo and Diletta are not just hosts; they are storytellers, caretakers, and passionate ambassadors of Florentine heritage. Whether it’s a tip on where to find the best handmade pasta, a quiet spot to watch the sunset, or the hidden corners of the city that only locals know, they go beyond accommodation—they offer a gateway into Florence’s soul.
A Prime Location in the Beating Heart of Florence
Florence is a city meant to be explored on foot, and staying at Royal Stay in Florence means you are always steps away from the most breathtaking sights.- The Uffizi Gallery, where Botticelli’s "The Birth of Venus" awaits, is just a few minutes away.
- The Palazzo Vecchio, once the seat of Medici power, is practically at your doorstep.
- The Ponte Vecchio, with its charming goldsmith shops and panoramic views of the Arno, is within a leisurely stroll.
- The Duomo, with its awe-inspiring dome designed by Brunelleschi, is close enough to admire with your morning espresso.
Beyond the landmarks, you’ll find yourself in the perfect setting for an authentic Florentine morning. Wake up to the gentle tolling of the bells at Santa Maria del Fiore, open your window to hear the soft chirping of birds, and step outside to find some of the city’s best cafés, local markets, and trattorias just steps away.
