The Hotel Bosone Palace was built for the Raffaelli family in the 14th century and counted Dante among its first guests. Splurge and book one of the Renaissance suites of the Hotel Bosone Palace, with ceilings stuccoed and gorgeously frescoed in the 17th century, even though the furnishings are imitation era pieces. The spacious carpeted or wood-floored rooms are decorated with a studied simplicity the Brunelleschian Renaissance would've appreciated. The breakfast room sports 18th-century grotesques and stuccoes.
Today the Bosone Palace is a hotel with 28 rooms and 2 renaissance suites, all with bathroom, minibar, air conditionnig, telephone, lift, reception 24 hours, fax service, laundry service, internet point, buffet breakfast.
The hotel's official restaurant isn't the recommendable Bosone Garden underneath, but the Taverna del Lupo a few blocks downhill
