Hospitality stories

From the fifteenth century to today: two palazzi turned hotels

by Redazione Hotel5stelle ·

How a historic building becomes a hospitality venue without losing identity.

Florence

The courtyard with loggia was restored with its original columns left in place.

Syracuse

Frescoes in five rooms were cleaned and consolidated; the rest of the interior is deliberately restrained.
