My husband and I took our first trip to Italy in June 2008 in celebration of our 35th anniversary. Finding a hotel with the right combination of luxury and value, considering the terrible dollar to euro exchange rate, took a lot of research. We visited some wonderful hotels in Rome, Venice and Chianti, but our stay in Florence at the... more

The Residenza del Moro in Florence is well located in the center of Florence two blocks from the Arno and a short distance from the Ponte Vecchio. It provides visitors with the experience of staying in a luxurious 17th century Palazzo in the heart of Florence. Its eleven rooms are sumptuously and uniquely decorated with antiques, brocades and lovely frescoes.... more

My wife and I traveled to Italy for our honeymoon. One of the highlights of our trip was our stay at Residenza Del Moro. First, the property is centrally located to the restaurants, shopping, and nightlife in Florence. Second, it is one of the most beautiful hotels I've every stayed at. Although it wasnt particularly huge, each room had a... more

Let’s start with our thanks to Tripadvisor members who recommended this gem of a hotel in Florence. It was quite well down on the popularity list, but probably because it only has 11 breath-taking suites which means it won’t compete on quantity but sure wins on quality.

The location could not be better--5 minutes from the train station right alongside the most upscale and charming shopping streets in Florence, a very short walk to the duomo and Palazzo Vecchio, but removed from that touristy hurlybury. The rooms are all spread along the piano nobile of the residence, and are each different--we happened to have one night of... more

My fiancee and I spent several nights at the Residenza Del Moro and we both wanted to move in forever! We stayed at several hotels in Tuscany and none of them came close. The room was beautiful, the service was friendly and first-class, and the location is superb. My only hesitation in writing this review is that now the word... more

We spent 2 fantastic nights at the Residenza del Moro after a week of traveling through Tuscany. Prior to arrival, we had had a couple of email exchanges with the staff, who were extraordinarily responsive, polite and accommodating. When we arrived, we were informed that we had been given an upgrade to a suite. The suite was totally stunning, with... more

Calling this property a hotel is a bit of an understatement. This is in fact a former palazzo of a wealthy family. And that is exactly how you feel while you are tucked away in this Florence fantasy. You feel like a Medici ! We stayed here Oct. 19-20th and this is our favorite place in Italy, after 3 trips... more

We stayed at the Residenza Del Moro from Sep 29 to October 2 as part of a trip to Venice, Florence and Rome. Sensational hotel we discovered through its new membership in the the Small Luxury Hotels group. 11 unique rooms and suites in a restored 16th-century palazzo in Florence, plus a staff that was warm and welcoming without ever... more
