A design masterpiece that introduces you to the wonders of Renaissance Italy, Candido Portinari is a one-bedroom apartment in the elegant Palazzo Portinari Salviati. The apartment is a relaxing and welcoming retreat for up to two guests and combines the sophistication of classical interior design accented with carefully-chosen contemporary motifs.

Florence is the heart of the Renaissance movement, home to priceless works of art and sculpture, fine dining, opera and theatre, and a haven for philosophical debate. Its importance in shaping the culture of modern Europe cannot be understated, and a stroll around its gorgeous streets and piazzas immerses you in its rich heritage and architectural marvels. Florence is famous for its cuisine, too, balanced with fine wines from the vineyards that surround the city. It's a destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Candido Portinari is typical of the one-bedroom apartments in this exquisite palatial residence. The interior is charmingly decorated in a fusion of traditional Florentine décor teamed with on-trend living solutions. The sitting room is lavishly furnished with beautiful bespoke chairs, and the large windows allow the soft afternoon light to flood the apartment with a golden glow. The well-fitted kitchen has everything you need to prepare a light breakfast or an evening snack. A master bedroom offers up a sumptuous double bed, while the bathroom makes copious use of marble tiles and surfaces.

As part of the Palazzo Portinari Salviati, guests staying at Candido Portinari have access to exceptional dining at Chic Nonna, a Michelin-starred restaurant headed by Chef Vito Mollica. The Salotto Portinari Bar & Bistrot is just a few steps away from your apartment for a more informal evening meal. For an additional fee, the indulgence of Vita Nova Spa allows you to pamper yourself before getting ready for another day of exploring Florence's delights. A heated swimming pool in the fabulously maintained arched vaults of the spa is the ideal spot for a few early-morning laps before breakfast, the perfect way to start the day.
