Heading to Italy? This new hotel has the most incredible views of Florence

Period furnishings meet cutting-edge comfort at Tivoli Palazzo Gaddi Firenze Hotel, which has just opened in the centre of Florence. Housed in two palazzos dating back to the 16th century and owned by aristocratic families - the Gaddis and the Arrighettis, the hotel is home to 86 rooms with timeless Florentine frescos.

What truly steals the show here, however, are the views, including wide-angle panoramas from the Aria rooftop bar of Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Just don't forget to visit Milton Bar, located in the lobby and named after English poet John Milton, who stayed at Palazzo Gaddi in 1638. According to the hotel, it was here that the poet found inspiration to write his masterpiece, Paradise Lost, first published in 1667. While we can't verify that claim, we can confirm one of Italy's best-known chefs, Iside De Cesare, is overseeing the offerings at both the Aria and Milton bars, as well as the hotel's Terrae restaurant, leading to unforgettable feasts. tivolihotels.com
