Florence: Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco (3 Star Hotel)

Location map and nearby properties

Author tip

Just down the street from the hotel is the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, built by Michelozzo for Cosimo de' Medici in the 1440s. Cosimo wanted his new home to project a sense of power without rankling his prideful fellow Florentines, so the architect delivered a home that is at once rustic, fortress-like and elegant. It helped define Florentine domestic architecture for centuries.
