Company information

The property is managed by Daniele, who, after earning a degree in Economics and gaining extensive international experience, began his hosting career in 2018. He began with a small Bed & Breakfast with just four rooms, then, with dedication and determination, developed a growth path that has led him to manage several properties today, including the Residenza d'Epoca Palazzo Riblet, with a total of 25 rooms in the heart of Florence's historic center.

Property information

The Palazzo Riblet Historical Residence is situated on the first floor of a stately sixteenth century palazzo which has been renovated several times over the years, but mainly during the second half of the nineteenth century when Florence was the capital of Italy. Since the Residence fully satisfies the historical-artistic requisites, it is classified as a building subject to the restrictions imposed by the Ministry of the Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, also because of its architectural characteristics, the splendid frescoes in one of the rooms and the spacious loggia (with depictions of the four seasons). From the main doorway there is access to an elegant nineteenth century sandstone staircase that connects the various floors. The Palazzo Riblet Historical Residence is on the first floor, while at the end of the stairwell on the third floor, there is a large panel depicting “Vigilance” accompanied by symbols and inscriptions. The present-day name of the palace originates from the Riblet family, a wealthy and aristocratic French family who acquired the property in the nineteenth century and remained its owners up until a few years ago
