Property Description
|
|
|
| HOTEL BOTTICELLI is a patrician home of the 16th century, close to the old Market, San Lorenzo, in the heart of downtown Florence, just a short walk to the Cathedral and to the principal museums. This three-star hotel reopens its doors to guests after having undergone a thorough restoration. The Renaissance architecture and the refined furnishings reflect the Florentine character, while the amenities and services are up to the finest modern standards. Situated in the characteristic Quarter of the Ancient Market, just 400 meters from the main railroad station, Santa Maria Novella, the hotel is the ideal point of departure for walking among the most important monuments and along the elegant streets world-renowned for their chic boutiques and shopping in general. In the opposite direction, and also within walking distance to the Hotel Botticelli are the Fairgrounds, including the Congress Hall and the Fortezza da Basso, site of some of the most important International Exhibitions. The beautifully frescoed vaulted ceiling of the hotels lobby, the exquisite, classic, geranium-bordered Renaissance covered-porch on the second floor overlooking the Market Square, and the unique enclosed alleyway which formerly separated the two buildings comprising the actual hotel, add a further note of charm and elegance. Hotel Botticelli, within the enchanting backdrop of an ancient Renaissance building, offers first-class comfort and professional service characterized by courtesy and genuine kindness. A spacious breakfast room, with typical dome-vaulted ceiling welcomes our guests each morning for an inviting buffet. The hotel also has its own garage for its guests convenience. All 34 rooms, reminiscent of Florentine traditions of decor, are elegantly and comfortably furnished with great attention to detail and are equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, minibar, room safes, hairdryers and direct dial telephone. |

Area Attractions

Area Attractions: The Hotel is located in the heart of the historical centre of Florence, near the Market of S. Lorenzo, 300 metres from Cappelle Medicee, 400 metres from Galleria dell*Accademia and 500 metres from the Cathedral. An itinerary of absolute beauty: starting from the Florence Railway Station we head towards the Cathedral. Behind which is the Opera Museum of Santa Maria del Fiore, a museum which contains many works of art, amongst which many items that originated from the Battistero, the Cathedral and the Campanile. On the first floor, by taking the first flight of stairs, you arrive at the mezzanine level in front of a hall where there is the marble statue of the Pieta (1550-c.1553), which is the second statue of the same subject, completed years after the first statue was created for San Pietro, found in the Vatican. From the Cathedral, moving on to the Palazzo Vecchio by walking a few hundred metres along the Via dei Calzaiuoli. On the first floor in the Salone dei Cinquecento, the production line murals were executed after the failure of one of Italy*s most decorative projects: Lenardo and Michelangelo were commissioned by Pier Soderini (1512) to paint frescoes on either side of the hall: to Leonardo, the Battle of Anghiari (1440) and to Michelangelo, the battle of Cascina (1364), however, these were never completed. Michelangelo*s Genio della Vittoria (Victory), situated on the centre of the wall facing the entrance door, was completed between 1533 and 1534 for the tomb of Pope Giulio II Della Rovere. This work of art remained in the artist*s workshop at via Mozza and was mentioned in a letter written by Vasari, dated 10th March 1564. It features the body of a young man, who has killed an old bearded man. From the Palazzo Vecchio to the Galleria degli Uffizi, which is a really short journey. In room 25 of the gallery, you can find the only example of his completed easel painting held in Florence, which can assuredly be attributed to him. The Tondo Doni or the Sacred Family with San Giovannino was post-dated to 1506, the date of the findings at Rome of Laocoonte from which this artist inspired Michelangelo for the nude pose behind San Guiseppe. In the Museo Nazionale del Bargello it is possible to become ecstatic when faced with four works of art by Michelangelo: Tondo Pitti, a work of art completed in the same year as the David and the Tondo Doni (approx. 1504); Bacco, one of the artists first roman sculptures, commissioned by the Banker Jacopo Galli (1496-97); David-Apollo, with its evocative melancholic spirit and Bruto, completed after the assassination of Lorenzino Medici, who himself was the killer of the Duke Alessandro (1536). Nearby, is the Casa Buonarroti at Via Ghibellina, no. 70 which was built by his great nephew, Michelangelo il Giovane, in the same location of the three houses that the artist bought and lived in between 1516 and 1525. It is a place loaded with artistic and biographic memories in connection to the artist. You must visit the Galleria dell*Accademia for the following works of art: Prigioni, San Matteo, David and Pieta di Palestrina, as well as the Sagrestia Nuova of the Cappelle Medicee and the scalone and the vestibolo of the Biblioteca Laurenziana (Library). The latter are the most famous and renowned works of art held in Florence.
