About the Hotel
Unique Accommodation Design
Casa Howard Firenze features 13 individually designed rooms including Classic, Deluxe, Prestige, and Suite categories. The Drawing Room suite contains Chinese furnishings with two double beds, while the Fireplace Room includes fine antiques and a claw-foot bath. All rooms feature bespoke interiors, design furniture, freestanding cast iron bathtubs, soundproofing, and air conditioning. Rooms on upper floors are accessible by elevator.
Breakfast and Dining
Breakfast is made to order to prevent food waste, featuring homemade yogurt in glass jars, jams from the hotel's biological farm estate, Fortnum & Mason or Twinings tea, coffee, fruit juice, and freshly baked croissants served on Ginori China. An honesty bar on the landing offers soft drinks, wines, and sparkling wine. All breakfast items are plastic-free and use local produce.
Concierge and Experiences
The concierge team, led by Clefs d'Or Antonio Pagano, operates from 8 AM to 9 PM and can arrange guided tours of the Uffizi Gallery and Accademia, wine and cheese tastings at local wineries, day trips to Tuscan beaches, and cooking classes in traditional Tuscan kitchens. They handle restaurant reservations and special experience planning.
