About

Porcellino Gallery Art Boutique Bb

Porcellino Gallery Art Boutique Bb occupies a prime spot on Piazza del Mercato Nuovo, Florence's historic leather market. The 9 rooms are individually decorated with an artistic sensibility, and the hotel's public spaces double as a gallery. With the Uffizi a short walk away and the Duomo nearby, everything worth seeing is within easy reach.

The property is intimate and personal: guests check in between 14:00 and 19:00, and the small scale means service can be attentive. Breakfast is served in a cosy room with fresh pastries and made-to-order coffee. While the hotel has no pets policy, it does offer parking (including an EV charging station) and a range of practical amenities like laundry and luggage storage.
