This boutique gem, tucked in a quaint Oltrarno courtyard, creates an intimate home-from-home vibe while making each guest feel special. Thirteen designer rooms are exquisitely dressed in vintage objets d'art and collectibles – the passion of Florentine owner Matteo and his talented Florence-born, British-raised wife, Betty Soldi (a calligrapher and graphic designer).

　　Several rooms have claw-foot bathtubs, some are inspired by what remains of original 19th-century ceiling frescoes, and every room has a kettle and Nespresso coffee machine, fridge and minibar (no TV). Breakfast in the vintage-styled ground-floor cafe SottArno makes a grand start to the day.
