Opening: September 2024

The historic Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi Firenze Hotel, the newest Tivoli property in Italy, is now open. 

Originally made up of two historical buildings belonging to two aristocratic Florentine families - the Gaddis and the Arrighettis, Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi is a living testimony to a noble past with unique historical and artistic features, such as frescoed rooms, paintings and art objects, many dating back to the 16th century. The building features typical Florentine architecture and has recently been completely renovated by internationally renowned interior designers, Patrizia Quartero and Guy Oliver, preserving the character and noble spirit of its Renaissance history due to the dedicated work of specialised restorers and local artisans.

The luxury 16th century palace offers 86 guest rooms, including eight suites, blending authentic period furnishings and Florentine art with contemporary comfort and functionality. The presidential suite has a panoramic terrace with views over the city´s skyline, including the cathedral.

Led by the renowned Italian Michelin Star Executive Chef Iside de Cesare, together with the Resident Chef Salvatore Canargiu, the Terrae fine dining restaurant offers authentic Tuscan and Italian cuisine, using fresh, local and seasonal products.  The restaurant has a secret garden, which is a small magical winter garden, where guests can dine in a cosy and unique atmosphere.

The lobby houses the Milton Bar, named in honour of one of Palazzo Gaddi’s most distinguished guests, the poet John Milton, who took inspiration here to write his masterpiece - Lost Paradise - during his stay in 1638. With its distinctive fireplace and library, the bar welcomes guests to enjoy a selection of refreshments and comfort food throughout the day, and as dinnertime approaches, a selection of Italy’s finest cheeses and wines.

Guest can enjoy sundowners and one of the best views over the city and the Duomo at The Aria Rooftop bar. The menu offering pre-dinner aperitifs and refreshing cocktails is inspired by the Florentine gardens.

Terrae Restaurant, Aria Rooftop and Milton Bar are managed by the Executive Chef Iside de Cesare, a Michelin-starred chef in La Parolina restaurant in Trevinano, together with the Resident Chef Salvatore Canargiu, who bring their expertise and creativity to enrich the gastronomic offer of the Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi.
