Florentine grandeur with Scarpa cool

Step into a lobby wrapped in dark wood, leather, and textured walls, where a subtle scent of grapes sets a distinctly Tuscan mood. Across the hotel, Carlo Scarpa’s clean-lined modernism plays beautifully against frescoed ceilings and medieval beams, giving every lounge and corridor a sense of collected confidence. Down to the details, doors upholstered in tan Florentine leather carry an embossed Minerva motif that feels quietly signature.
