SERRISTORI PALACE RESIDENCE, Florence

Serristori Palace Residence offers apartments that can be combined to accommodate larger groups, with each unit themed after a local Florentine attraction. The penthouse apartment provides a private rooftop terrace with views of the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, accessible via a steep stone staircase. All apartments include fully equipped kitchens with a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and coffee machine, plus a dining area and seating space.

A shared garden with plants and flowers offers a quiet outdoor space for relaxation, while the basement lounge includes free laundry facilities (washer and dryer) and a water cooler with still and sparkling water. The building has a lift to upper floors and a secure luggage storage room for early arrivals or late departures. Street parking is available for free from 8pm to 8am, and a paid garage (Garage Tintori) is nearby.

The residence sits on the Oltrarno side of the Arno River, a 5- to 10-minute walk from Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery. Piazzale Michelangelo, with its panoramic view of Florence, is less than 300 metres away, and the Mercato Centrale is within walking distance across the river. A bus stop is located directly outside the building, and the property is close to local restaurants and artisan workshops.

Multiple apartments can be joined to create a single large living space for families or groups of up to 10 people, as noted by past guests. The residence offers guided local culture tours and walking tours, plus the option to participate in bike tours or classes about local crafts. A concierge service assists with car rental, shuttle booking, and private check-in/check-out, and the tour desk can organise daily excursions.

Housekeeping and laundry services are available upon request, and a grocery delivery service can be arranged for self-catering stays. The front desk provides luggage storage, safety deposit boxes in each apartment, and an invoice service for business travellers.
