Hello! My name is Donatella and I have been welcoming tourists to Florence since 1997! Born and raised in a charming small town of Tuscany, I’ve always been surrounded by beauty, tradition, and artistry. With a background in the fashion industry, my career sharpened my eye for detail and nurtured my passion for creating elegance in every aspect of life. This passion naturally extended to interior design where I channel my love for authenticity, comfort and understated luxury.
A devoted traveler, I’ve been especially drawn to India, where I’ve embraced Ayurvedic wellness and the transformative power of its culture. My love for people, dogs and the simple joys of life inspire me to craft meaningful connections and experiences together with my husband Gianni who shares the same passions.
Now being based in Florence, I bring this vision to life by offering unique apartments that are more than just a place to stay—they are a “home away from home.” Thoughtfully designed with comfort, authenticity and style, each space reflects my love for blending tradition with modern luxury. Whether you’re here to explore the rich history of the city or seek a serene retreat, I take pride in offering a truly memorable stay. I now embrace life with a balance of wisdom and curiosity. With a lifetime of experiences behind me, I find joy in both quiet reflection and engaging with the world around me, whether it’s pursuing hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or staying active, I approach every day with a sense of gratitude and purpose. My journey has been one of growth, resilience and discovery—and I’m always looking forward to the next chapter.
