About
Palazzo Vecchietti - Residenza D'Epoca
Palazzo Vecchietti - Residenza D'Epoca occupies a historic palazzo on Via degli Strozzi, one of Florence's most central streets. The 11 rooms and suites are decorated with velvet drapes, parquet floors, and period details, while modern comforts like air conditioning, soundproofing, and tea and coffee facilities keep things easy. The hotel's setting means the Uffizi is roughly a 10-minute walk away, the Duomo even closer.
Service here is the recurring theme in guest reviews: the team is repeatedly described as exceptionally helpful, from booking restaurants to arranging a surprise birthday cake. Mornings start with a breakfast built on fresh local ingredients, including honeycomb and eggs cooked to order. With a 24-hour reception, valet parking, and a laundry service, the residence runs like a full-service hotel despite its intimate scale.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- A location that puts Florence at your feet — The residence sits on Via degli Strozzi, a short walk from the Duomo and about 750 metres from the Uffizi, so guests can explore the historic centre without relying on transport.
- Service that guests consistently single out — Time and again, reviews describe the staff as exceptionally helpful — booking restaurants, arranging transport, and even organising a surprise birthday cake with Prosecco.
- Historic character with modern comfort — Velvet drapes, high ceilings, and parquet floors evoke the palazzo's past, while air conditioning, soundproofed rooms, and coffee machines keep it contemporary.
- Breakfast worth getting up for — Fresh local ingredients, honeycomb, and eggs cooked to order feature in several guest accounts, a fitting start for a day of sightseeing.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- A price that reflects the palazzo setting — With rates from around USD 1,005 per night, this is a splurge — the 'Price and service' category scores 8, below location and cleanliness in the hotel's own ratings.
- Compact scale means limited on-site facilities — There's no restaurant or spa — dining is via in-room breakfast and bar/lounge areas, though guests consistently rate the breakfast highly.
- Central address can bring street noise — On a busy thoroughfare, you might hear the city outside — though soundproofed rooms and an 8/10 for rooms and cleanliness help mitigate it.
