Hotel Pitti Palace al Ponte Vecchio in Firenze, open April–August.
Built in the 16th century as a Renaissance palazzo, Hotel Pitti Palace al Ponte Vecchio occupies a restored historic structure steps from Florence's iconic Ponte Vecchio bridge.
The property preserves its original architectural character while offering modern hospitality, making it a destination venue where centuries-old Florentine elegance meets contemporary wedding services.
Located on Borgo San Iacopo, one of the city's most atmospheric medieval streets, the hotel provides direct access to the Arno riverfront and the historic center.
Great location. Lovely welcome by staff and helpful when needed. Room was the least in room and was quite small, but fine for the price we paid. No mirror other than in the bathroom tho, which was tricky for two girls getting ready! There was also an unpleasant smell throughout the hotel. I would choose this hotel again, as we found the location perfect for us.
