B&B Residenza dei Pucci
Florence, Italy
B&B Residenza dei Pucci is located in the heart of the historic centre of Florence, in Via dei Pucci, between the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (St. Mary of the Flower) and the Academy Gallery, near the Market of San Lorenzo, just a 10 minutes’ walk from the Railway Station and 15 minutes’ walk from the Convention Centre.
The historic palace that houses the Bed and Breakfast Residenza dei Pucci underwent several evolutions over the centuries, and has been adapted to the needs of owners who have followed each other as well as to the requirements of the historical moment. Built originally in the Middle Ages, its structure was remodeled on several occasions over the centuries until reaching its current layout.
During all these years, it has been used as the private house of a wealthy family; you may notice a balcony on the main facade, a symbol of wealth, and a fireplace still existing on the second floor, covered with black marble, which bears witness to a certain richness that, unfortunately, has gone lost over the centuries. In the 19th century, an open gallery was added on the top floor, to give the house a view of the Duomo and an opening to the outside, which was closed with glass walls in the last decades.
In the post-war period, it was divided into a series of small apartments reunited on the occasion of the general restructuring, which was made in 2001 to open the Bed & Breakfast, in which is respected the past was respect while trying to return to this beautiful building the importance it deserves. The rooms of the Bed and Breakfast, obtained from an existing building, are characterized by a particular position and unexpected details, which are typically Florentine. They are located on the main floors of the building, i.e. on the first and second floors; they are spacious and all have a ceiling 3 meters high, which makes them particularly airy.
The suite is located on the top floor and in addition to offering an incredible view of the dome of the Cathedral, is perfect to accommodate a family of 4 persons or a couple on their honeymoon.
