Elisabetta Bonsignori, artist, ceramist, with her husband Riccardo, civil engineer, have lovingly and sympathetically refurbished and restored their luxurious apartment in Oltrarno. During the restoration original features such as painted timber ceilings and frescos were brought to light while modern day comforts were added, such as en-suite bathrooms for every bedroom and Wi-Fi.
The B&B Bonsignori lies in the heart of Florence in one of the oldest Palazzos of Via Maggio, which dates back to the fourteenth Century and offers an informal, friendly and yet private atmosphere. The B&B offers four spacious rooms full of character, recently lovingly restored to reveal antique decorated timber beams and other original features. The B&B can be found on the second floor of the Palazzo. There is no lift.
Via Maggio is one of the most prestigious historical streets of Florence. A stone's throw away from the Ponte Vecchio, Via Maggio, once home to the Florentine aristocracy, today houses the most exclusive antique shops, whilst the neighbouring area is bustling with craftsmen's workshops, shops as well as little markets. The Boboli Gardens, the delightful Piazza S. Spirito and the Pitti Palace are only a few steps away from the Palazzo and, crossing the river, it's only a short walk to the Uffizi, Piazza Signoria, the Duomo and Santa Croce.
