PALAZZO MAGNANI FERONI- Florence, Italy

If you've ever strolled down a street abroad that's rich in history, pondering what a sweet life it must have been for European nobility- we know of a place that delivers you as close as possible to the real thing. Palazzo Magnani Feroni stands confidently and regally in the heart of this fantastically historical city amongst towers and palaces, and steps from the Ponte Vecchio. Period furnishings from the 1500's and ancient frescoes adorning the walls- marvelous. Attention to details- meticulous. Service that makes you feel as though you're a member of the nobile aristocracy from centuries' past- ridiculous (in an amazing way of course). Breakfast the Palazzo manner means dining in an extravagant hall graced by an incredibly ornate Murano crystal chandelier, evening cocktails here are meant to be sipped within romantically illuminated galleries once home to the most elegant of parties thrown in spectacular, indulgent fashion by the Feroni marquises.

It's not all entirely about classical elegance of ancient times, the stunning contrast of modern and chic fare presented within the palace experience is phenomenal. Each of the 12 suites are phenomenally spacious- offering a master bedroom, separate private living room, lush private marble bathroom with fab Bulgari amenities, and then of course the high-tech fare which is perfect. We recommend the Ferroni Deluxe Suite for the best possible experience. Featuring it's own en-suite laptop connected to wi-fi and printer, and perhaps the best possible amenity we've ever seen- a Vibro Power machine which is one of the hottest pieces of fitness equipment around designed for slimming, massage and exercise all in one. No visit to the Palazzo Magnani Feroni is complete without enjoying a dinner or nightcap on their unique panoramic terrace, one of the most special yet hidden gems in all of Florence providing amazing views of the entire city. Trust us, it's much better to enjoy Florence as a noble, even if it's only for a few days.
