The Origins of our Collection

Dimora Collection began around a rare Florentine residence: Dimora Le Corti, a former 13th-century convent hidden in Via Bufalini, in the heart of Florence’s old Oblate complex, only a few steps from the Duomo.

This part of Florence carries many layers of history. Between the 13th and 14th centuries, the world of the Oblate community took shape here: cloisters, enclosed gardens, pietra serena, quiet courtyards and the rare silence of old Florence.

Dimora Le Corti had the qualities that cannot be recreated today: historic arches, pietra serena columns, generous volumes, traces of ancient stone, and the feeling of a place that had lived many lives before ours. The restoration was guided by Antonella Ferragamo, an architect whose work brought together conservation and contemporary comfort. The original arches and pietra serena columns were preserved and enhanced, while light, glass and proportion were used to reveal the full character of the building across three levels — from the spa area to the living spaces and terrace.

The result is a residence where old Florence and modern comfort coexist quietly, without losing the atmosphere of the place.

For a family rooted in Florence for generations, the residence became the beginning of a more personal idea of hospitality: not a grand hotel, but a private home of rare character, restored with care and opened to guests who value beauty, history and privacy.

Dimora Le Logge, located in the same historic palazzo as Dimora Le Corti, continues this vision on the second floor. It opens a new perspective on the building, with rare views over the historic Santa Maria Nuova complex and the surrounding rooftops of old Florence — bringing another part of this extraordinary palazzo back to life.

From there, the collection grew slowly.

Dimora Le Torri followed: an 18th-century palazzo residence overlooking some of the most iconic towers of Florence, including the tower of Palazzo Vecchio. Set above the historic streets of the city, it offers a different expression of Florence: more open, elevated and luminous, with views that connect the intimacy of a private home to the great civic architecture around it.

Then came Dimora Amalfi, a newly renovated residence on the Amalfi Coast, chosen for another kind of rarity. Set in one of the most dramatic stretches of the coast, it brings together privacy, light and rare views over the sea — the kind of place that naturally belonged in the collection.

Today, Dimora Collection is a private collection of boutique luxury suites and residences, chosen for their history, restored with restraint, and prepared with the care expected of refined hospitality.

Each residence is selected personally, cared for over time, and prepared for a small number of guests.

The details are quiet but deliberate: the materials, the linens, the atmosphere, the welcome, and the feeling of arriving somewhere already considered.

Hospitality, for us, is about warmth, discretion and ease. Present when needed, invisible when not.

Dimora remains intentionally small.

Only places of real character enter the collection.
