Dimora Palanca

Let us paint you a picture, beginning with the fine form of Dimora Palanca, a 19th-century villa with a full-of-grace façade in the foreground and an aperitivo-ready courtyard garden to the back. Within, richly hued ceiling frescoes and ornate stucco mouldings shape its image alongside tailored furnishings from B&B Italia and Maxalto, plus custom pieces and dramatic light installations. There’s clear influence from Florence’s artistry, with modern work from local artist Paolo Dovichi throughout and literary events championing local wordsmiths. The restaurant serves elegant compositions and Tuscan wines to polish things off. Mount on a backdrop of iconic monuments and – mwah – you have a masterpiece for the ages.

Dimora Palanca’s distinguished 19th-century villa is tucked away on Via Della Scala, just off main throughway Porto el Prato. It’s within easy boarding distance of Santa Maria Novella station and Florence’s District One sights are a 15-minute walk away.
