Housed within a 16th-century palazzo in the heart of Florence’s Santa Croce district, Numeroventi blurs the line between a guesthouse, art studio, and design sanctuary. Founded by creative director Martino di Napoli Rampolla, this hybrid space celebrates Florentine heritage through a contemporary, artsy lens.
Tucked inside Palazzo Galli Tassi, Numeroventi feels more like an artist’s atelier than a traditional b&b. Soaring ceilings, stone staircases, and centuries-old frescoes mingle with minimalist furniture by local and international designers. Each space tells a story of quiet reinvention: rooms stripped back to reveal their raw beauty, softened by linen drapes, warm light, and hand-crafted details. The design ethos is one of stillness and honesty: Florence’s grandeur distilled into something pure and modern.
Here, creative residents and guests coexist in harmony. The communal kitchen buzzes with conversation over morning espresso; in other rooms, visiting artists paint, sculpt, and experiment. Oh, and if you fall in love with some items in your room they may be for sale.
