Corte Guelfa cuts through the noise of Florence's crowded wedding circuit by offering a 4-star hotel with direct control over your entire event—rooms, dining, and logistics all under one roof on Via Guelfa in the city center.
You'll eliminate the coordination headaches of booking separate venues and accommodations across town.
The property gives you 48 hours to transform a historic Florentine palazzo into your celebration without the usual vendor juggling.
After 7 nights, I highly recommend this hotel! The rooms are very quiet, even though the hotel is close to everything. They were even working on the road during our stay and you could not hear it in our room. Staff were all very helpful, breakfast was good, and, yeah, just a very relaxing hotel for a week in Florence.
