Who we are
In the heart of Prato’s historical center, stands the Accademia Residence, nestled within the city’s most frequently strolled streets. Constructed in the characteristic Medieval style, the building has been restructured throughout the centuries.
In Medieval history, when Tuscany was divided into several city-states, it served as the antica posta or place where messengers arrived, bearing official messages and documents. These hired travelers would change their horses and rest.
Today, the building has been restructured to reflect its original conformation, using traditional materials from the area. It currently offers the highest level of hospitality to modern day visitors who come to our city for business and pleasure.
Why choose us
Whether you are in Tuscany for business or pleasure, Residence Accademia may prove to be the right choice for your stay. Its geographically strategic location is one apparent reason: located just a few kilometers from Florence, it is served by two highways (A1 Milan-Naples and A11 Florence-Sea). The train connections from Prato to Florence are simply excellent with a train departing every 15 minutes.
Prato is also a great alternative place to stay if Florence is your final destination, both for its logistic convenience and money-saving potential, particularly during Florentine fashion fairs and other organized events.
Prato will surprise you for its pleasant livability, typical of a Tuscan medieval town.
