La Réserve Firenze: Inside Florence’s new private luxury residences

La Réserve Firenze is set to open on 16 October 2026, introducing a new concept in luxury accommodation to the heart of Florence. Housed within a restored 15th-century Renaissance palazzo, the property features just six private apartments, combining historic architecture with contemporary design and personalised hospitality. As the first Italian address from La Réserve, it promises an intimate alternative to traditional luxury hotels, where guests can experience the city with the comfort and privacy of their own residence.

La Réserve Firenze opens on 16 October 2026

The La Réserve Firenze opening is officially scheduled for 16 October 2026, with reservations already available for its inaugural season. Located in Florence’s historic Oltrarno district, the property marks an important addition to Michel Reybier Hospitality’s luxury portfolio.

Rather than operating as a conventional hotel, the Florence address joins La Réserve Private Homes, a collection of exclusive residences offering the freedom of a private home alongside personalised hotel services. The collection includes prestigious addresses in Paris, Ramatuelle, Geneva, and beyond.

With only six apartments available, La Réserve Firenze is designed for travellers who value privacy, generous living spaces, and a more personal connection to their destination.

A 15th-century Renaissance palazzo reimagined

La Réserve Firenze occupies Palazzo Segni, a historic residence on Via Santo Spirito that has belonged to some of Florence’s most prominent families over the centuries. Acquired by Olivia and Grégory Marciano in 2022, the building has undergone a careful restoration led by renowned French interior design duo Gilles & Boissier.

The transformation preserves the palazzo’s architectural heritage while introducing contemporary comfort. Original frescoes, decorative ceilings, and historic details sit alongside elegant furnishings, natural materials, and carefully curated artworks.

Rather than creating a grand hotel atmosphere, the designers have focused on light, proportion, and understated sophistication. The result is a residence that feels both distinctly Florentine and comfortably lived-in.

Inside the six private luxury residences

Among the newest luxury residences in Florence, La Réserve stands out for its unusually spacious accommodation. Its six individually designed apartments range from 170 to 210 square metres, offering one to three bedrooms for couples, families, and private groups.

The accommodation includes:

• One-bedroom apartment: A 175-square-metre residence featuring original frescoes, a spacious lounge, and a separate dining room.
• Two-bedroom apartments: Four residences ranging from 170 to 210 square metres, with distinctive layouts, historic architectural features, and views of the surrounding neighbourhood.
• Three-bedroom duplex: A 205-square-metre apartment spanning two floors, with a private 55-square-metre rooftop terrace offering panoramic views of Florence.

Each apartment features generous living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and interiors that balance historic character with modern convenience.

The three-bedroom duplex is particularly noteworthy, with its rooftop terrace providing a private setting for relaxing above the city. For guests seeking a luxury stay in Florence without the limitations of a traditional hotel suite, these residences offer greater space and flexibility.

The privacy of a home with luxury hotel services

One of La Réserve Firenze’s defining features is its combination of residential independence and personalised hospitality. Guests can enjoy the freedom of a private apartment while having access to professional services throughout their stay.

Included services range from 24-hour concierge assistance and twice-daily housekeeping to breakfast served in the apartment, laundry, grocery delivery, and a dedicated maître de maison.

Additional arrangements can include a private butler, personal chef, fitness trainer, yoga instructor, massages, beauty treatments, and babysitting services.

This flexible approach allows guests to shape their time in Florence around their own preferences, whether enjoying a quiet morning indoors, hosting a private dinner, or exploring the city with carefully arranged experiences.

Rooftop views, private dining, and hidden spaces

Beyond the apartments, La Réserve Firenze offers several intimate communal spaces that reflect the character of a private Florentine home.

The courtesy bar and terrace provide an inviting setting for an evening drink, with views towards Santo Spirito and Palazzo Pitti. Inside, guests can unwind in the library, enjoy billiards or chess in the games room, or maintain their fitness routine using Technogym and Pent Luxury Fitness equipment.

A shaded courtyard offers another peaceful retreat, with greenery, historic columns, and a stone fountain creating a quiet contrast to the streets outside.

Dining is equally flexible. Guests can prepare meals in their own kitchens, arrange a private chef, or order from a specially curated menu by Trattoria Cammillo, one of Florence’s established dining addresses.

Discover Florence from the heart of Oltrarno

The location adds another dimension to this new luxury accommodation in Florence. Situated at Via Santo Spirito 6, La Réserve Firenze places guests in Oltrarno, a neighbourhood known for its artisan workshops, independent boutiques, traditional restaurants, and artistic heritage.

The Basilica di Santo Spirito and Palazzo Pitti are nearby, while Ponte Vecchio, the Uffizi Gallery, and the luxury shopping streets around Via Tornabuoni are within walking distance.

Beyond sightseeing, guests can discover Florence through private cultural visits, artisan workshops, and experiences exploring the city’s fashion, art, and culinary traditions. Excursions into the Tuscan countryside, including vineyard visits and private wine tastings, can also complement a longer stay.
