Published
La Réserve has come to Italy. On 16 October 2026 La Réserve Firenze opened in Palazzo Segni, a fifteenth-century palace on Via Santo Spirito in the Oltrarno, a few minutes' walk from the Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti, and a new name among the best hotels in Florence.
It is a house of six serviced apartments, each for two to six guests, from 170 to 210 square metres, with its own kitchen, dining room and drawing room; the largest is a three-bedroom duplex with a private terrace. The palace was restored over four years, keeping its frescoed and coffered ceilings, carved wood and tapestries, and the interiors are by Gilles & Boissier.
A house manager, a concierge and a private chef look after each stay, with dinner from Trattoria Camillo brought to the apartment, and there is a library, a billiard room, a gym, a shaded courtyard and a roof terrace over the city. For luxury holidays in Florence and Tuscany, it is a private palazzo with the service of a great house.
