Porta Rossa Hotel Firenze, Colbert Collection is rich with stories and layered in craft. It’s widely thought to be the oldest hotel in Italy, and features a stunning 13th-century tower. Throughout, you’ll uncover delightful historical features, including its famous red doorway (which gives the hotel its name), preserved frescos, and stained-glass ceilings. Today, the hotel celebrates the history of the Bartolini family, who once lived here. The property still carries the family’s motto of ‘per non dormire’ (so as not to sleep), and embraces light-hearted rule-bending wherever possible. Plus, stay with us and you’ll also find Florence’s best attractions, including the Arno River, Ponte Vecchio, and the Uffizi Galleries within walking distance.
