About Palazzo Portinari Salviati

A Renaissance palazzo transformed into an intimate residenza d'epoca, Palazzo Portinari Salviati sits in the heart of Florence just steps from the Duomo. Originally built for the Portinari family—whose daughter Beatrice inspired Dante's Divine Comedy—the palazzo preserves extraordinary 15th-century frescoed ceilings, marble floors, and a glass-roofed courtyard adorned with classical statuary. Each suite is a private gallery of period furniture, silk draperies, and hand-painted ceilings, while the rooftop terrace offers spellbinding views of Giotto's Campanile and the Florentine skyline at dusk.
