Lovingly converted from a 15th century building, the Palazzo Medici dal Borgo, the Hotel Aprile is located in the heart of Florence, within sight of the church of Santa Maria Novella. Historic frescoes, high vaulted ceilings and a secluded quiet courtyard garden combine to create an inviting and relaxing atmosphere. In this small and exclusive hotel warm friendly service, combined with care and attention to detail, will enable you to experience the comforts of a delightful home from home. The building, whose origins appear to stem back to the turn of the 15th century, at least as far as the basic structure is concerned, was restored under the strict ordinance of the Fine Arts Commission and is preserved as a historic monument. The facade shows traces of graffiti representing the "Triumph of David".
