Hotel Torre di Bellosguardo, often called the “jewel of Florence,” is a Renaissance villa overlooking the city from its hillside gardens. Once a medieval watchtower, the property evolved into a villa rich with frescoes, arches, and ornate detail. This series of photographs records both the architecture and its atmosphere: vaulted interiors, staircases, and ironwork; quiet gardens with hammocks and statues; plants, flowers, and a resident cat; and sweeping spectacular views across Florence.
