In the labyrinthine heart of Florence, where Renaissance whispers echo through cobblestone streets, Casa G Firenze occupies the historic 18th-century Palazzo Ginori, once home to the renowned ceramics dynasty and Carlo Lorenzini, the writer of Pinocchio. This intimate 15-room boutique hotel is a carefully curated gateway to Florence’s authentic soul.
A vision born from passion
Founded by Filippo Montani della Fargna in collaboration with partner Kim Jansch, Casa G transcends traditional hospitality boundaries. The founders’ vision was elegantly simple and profoundly ambitious at the same time: create a space offering hotel comfort with the intimacy of a private residence. Working with architect Cecilia Pantaleo, they’ve tastefull brought together Florentine craftsmanship with contemporary design, resulting in an atmosphere that feels like an exclusive private members’ club.
Every detail at Casa G Firenze tells a story – from hand-carved architectural flourishes to thoughtfully curated spaces, the historic Palazzo Ginori becomes an intimate sanctuary with the soul of a private members’ club.
Artisan collaborations and cultural innovation
Casa G’s commitment to celebrating local craftsmanship extends far beyond décor. The hotel’s groundbreaking ART•ISAN initiative transforms the property annually into a dynamic laboratory where master artisans collaborate with international artists. Here creativity is set free from commercial constraints, honouring ancient techniques in contemporary contexts.
The hotel’s dedication to artisanal excellence is evident throughout, from custom marble tabletops to specially designed bedside lamps crafted by local masters. Their collaboration with Arno Studio has produced a limited-edition kimono made from exceptional Italian linen – a wearable memento that carries Casa G’s essence long after departure.
Curated with passion – founder Filippo Montani della Fargna personally sourced and commissioned each piece at Casa G Firenze, creating a collection that gives the historic palazzo its distinctive character.
Intimate luxury with modern conveniences
Each of the 15 unique rooms across two floors balances historical architectural allure with contemporary design simplicity.

The hotel embraces smart hospitality through discreet technology, seamless check-in, and a 24-hour honesty bar crafted from yellow onyx reminiscent of private residences.
