Stay: Casa Orlandi
Prato, ItalyI’ve been dreaming about this this magical 18th-century palazzo ever since I saw it on a Yatzer a couple years ago. On a whim, I decided to get in touch with the architect homeowner, Sabrina Bignami, who restored the interiors and decorated the amazing space covered with frescoes by famous 1800s painter Luigi Catani. As luck would have it, Sabrina lets guests stay in the frescoed pink bedroom and offers breakfast on the terrace (during the summer) or in the magnificent dining room with fireplace (in the colder months). “We like to give hospitality as the architects of the house,” says Sabrina, who specializes in restoring period buildings. The firm she founded, b-arch, is also located in Prato, a textile town just outside Florence.
The Details
Stay in this magical palazzo for $150 Euros a night, breakfast included. Email Sabrina.bignami@b-arch.it to organize your stay.
