ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY
The documented story of Milu Hotel begins in the year 1400. The property, as it stands today, once housed several private residences belonging to numerous aristocratic and bourgeois families of Florentine, such as the Strozzi and Minerbetti families.
The current name of the conjoined buildings Palazzo Altoviti – Sangalletti derives from the final bequeathing to an heir of the Altoviti and Sangalletti families.
The structure of the modern day building was altered in 1835 by architect and es- teemed painter Giovan Battista Silvestri, combining the adjacent Palazzo Gherardi – Uguccioni with Palazzo Altoviti – Sangalleti.
From the exterior, the conjoined buildings are identical. Both share symmetrical arched windows, uniform finishing on the façade of the ground floor along with large stone slab work.
The ground floor of the property once housed Café Doney, an important meeting place for aristocrats and socialites living in the area. The prominent Café Doney was a fixture of the neighbourhood from the time that it opened in 1870 until it shut its doors in 1989.
