 Strolling through the hotel one cannot but observe the family crests of two Noble Florentine families that once inhabited this edifice.
Bartolini Salimbeni: on whose family crest are written the curious words "Per Non Dormire" (translated "To not Sleep"), an antique warning for travelling merchants who upon arriving in Florence to sell their goods would sleep so soundly that they would not wake up in time the following morning to go to the market. |
 Martelli: another Noble family represented by a winged Vulture on the crest and who transformed, around the middle of the 19th century, a part of the home into an inn. It is said that Caterina de Medici (1519-1589) slept in the present room number 47 on her visits to Florence. Furthermore our staff is willing to welcome and help you in everything you might need. |
