Imagine waking up in a Florentine home of the sixteenth century: the colours and decor, then as now, speak of Tuscan, starting with the warm tones of mahogany, deep red terra-cotta floors to the banquet rooms with impossible high ceilings crowned by gleaming white, ornate baroque stucco work and vivid frescoes. The completely restored, sumptuous Astoria is a true gem of Florentine style filled with beautiful frescos, stunning antiques and only the finest furnishings and accessories. The palazzo is comprised of two buildings once belonging to the ArrighettiÂ?s Family, one of the richest families of the 15th century and to Gerardo Gaddi, painter and a mosaicist whose works had been inspired by Cimabue. Other delightful surprises await you at the Hotel Astoria, where accommodations will suit the visitor who comes to Florence looking for a place to stay that reflects the cityÂ?s artistic and culinary heritage in a magnificent historical setting.
