Beyond the Duomo, down quiet streets in Le Cure, we stepped straight into a private palazzo, keys in hand, with a local friend ready to show us the city as it\u2019s rarely seen. This was \u2018This Time Tomorrow\u2019, a stay that doesn\u2019t just put you in a residence, but a curated chapter of life in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional hotels, <em>This Time Tomorrow<\/em> doesn\u2019t begin with a lobby or reception desk. It starts before you even leave home, when the team personally contacts you to understand your interests and passions\u2014whether it\u2019s Renaissance art, hidden culinary gems, or family-friendly experiences\u2014and then builds a tailored itinerary that might include a private marble sculpting session, a stroll through secret gardens, or insider tips on the city\u2019s best local caf\u00e9s. Every suggestion, from the timing of your arrival to evening aperitifs, is curated to make your stay feel both effortless and deeply connected to Florence\u2019s rhythm. For us, travelling as a family with a five-year-old in tow, the promise was of a city break that felt both deeply rooted in Florence and flexible enough to welcome a child\u2019s pace and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-0B-3297-1001x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-0B-3297-1001x1024.jpeg 1001w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-0B-3297-293x300.jpeg 293w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-0B-3297-768x786.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-0B-3297-1501x1536.jpeg 1501w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-0B-3297.jpeg 1564w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Residences of Character<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Abitazione, a beautifully restored townhouse-style palazzo, is home to just eight residences\u2014seven elegant two-bedroom apartments and one sprawling three-bedroom. Each has its own character, with frescoed ceilings, Venetian tiled floors, baroque portraits, and surprising touches of contemporary art (a Salvador Dal\u00ed lithograph here, a Franco Gentilini aquatint there). Walking in, I felt like I had stepped straight into a Pinterest board: every corner perfectly aspirational, yet utterly suited to life in Italy. Our apartment opened onto a leafy terrace, the perfect setting for morning coffee or a late-afternoon aperitif. The team had even thought of everything for cosy evenings in, curating a generous welcome basket overflowing with farm-to-table meats, cheeses, biscotti, pasta, and wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside, high ceilings and velvet textures softened the grandeur, making it something surprisingly homely. We had a fully equipped kitchen, spacious bathrooms, and ample space for everyone to feel at ease.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While <em>This Time Tomorrow<\/em> doesn\u2019t have an on-site restaurant, the experience is made all the more charming by the team\u2019s thoughtful provision of complimentary \u2018salt\u2019 tokens in each apartment. These small cards can be exchanged for a local breakfast at nearby caf\u00e9s\u2014cappuccinos and freshly baked pastries, enjoyed just as the Florentines do. The salt is another nod to history: Florence, inland and reliant on Pisa\u2019s port, once had to import salt, a precious commodity often taxed or caught up in medieval trade disputes. Florentines famously bake their bread without salt, so the tokens also allow guests to add a pinch if they wish, bridging centuries-old tradition with a modern morning ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The property\u2019s private rooftop, reached via a tucked-away staircase, opened to Tuscan hills rolling on one side and Florence\u2019s terracotta domes on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-_06A4076-2-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-_06A4076-2-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-_06A4076-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-_06A4076-2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-_06A4076-2-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-_06A4076-2-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-_06A4076-2.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Off-Menu Florence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The spirit of <em>This Time Tomorrow<\/em> is to take you \u201coff menu\u201d, to experiences you\u2019d rarely stumble upon alone. Their curators weave together encounters that feel both insider and extraordinary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wine lovers, for instance, might find themselves at Palazzo Antinori, the 15th-century home of Italy\u2019s most storied winemaking family. While the Noble Floor is usually closed to the public, guests here can dine in the frescoed <em>Studio del Marchese<\/em>, where Tuscan classics are paired with vintages steeped in centuries of heritage. Beyond Florence, the vineyards of Chianti lie less than an hour away; instead of being folded into a tourist group, the team can arrange private visits to hidden cellars, a family-run alpaca farm for those with children, or even lunch at Dario Cecchini\u2019s legendary <em>Officina della Bistecca<\/em>, where the theatrical butcher hosts an indlugent Tuscan feast.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For art enthusiasts, the team can arrange immersive experiences, such as a private session with Jason Arkles, an American marble sculptor working in the atmospheric catacombs of Palazzo Caponi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On our curator\u2019s advice, we strolled through the Giardino dell&#8217;Orticoltura, a picturesque garden with elegant greenhouses and peaceful paths, before climbing to a nearby viewpoint where Florence\u2019s terracotta rooftops stretched out beneath us. We then visited the Scuola del Cuoio, the city\u2019s renowned school of leather, where my daughter was captivated by artisans handcrafting handbags. We rounded off the afternoon at Gelateria Badiani, a Florentine institution since 1932, best known for its signature flavour, Buontalenti\u2014a rich, creamy blend that has become a symbol of the city\u2019s gelato tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day, following more of our curator\u2019s recommendations, we crossed the river to Via Maggio, famed for its antique shops and galleries, before pausing for a light lunch with panoramic views at the Loggia Roof Bar of Palazzo Guadagni. On the way back, we stopped at Caffetteria Snak Anna, a cosy neighbourhood caf\u00e9, for a final Florentine coffee among locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"698\" src=\"http:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-1B-Terrace-2628-1024x698.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-1B-Terrace-2628-1024x698.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-1B-Terrace-2628-300x204.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-1B-Terrace-2628-768x523.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-1B-Terrace-2628-1536x1046.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marcela-Grassi-Florence-1B-Terrace-2628.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Neighbourhood of Its Own<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the charm lies in This Time Tomorrow\u2019s location. Le Cure is residential, just a 15-minute walk from the centre, with local butchers, family-run caf\u00e9s, and hidden courtyards. After days spent exploring, returning here felt like stepping into a quieter, more authentic Florence. One evening, we ate at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alfredoristorantefirenze.com\/\"><strong>Ristorante Alfredo<\/strong><\/a>, a brilliant little spot right next door to the residence, the kind of place you\u2019d never stumble upon as a tourist.

Their idea: immerse guests instantly into the rhythm of a place, not through checklists but through lived experiences. The properties are as much about the people and curations as they are about bricks and mortar, each one a carefully restored building that becomes a backdrop for discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Florence is just the first chapter. In Marrakech, the brand\u2019s sister property, <strong>Dar Al Dall<\/strong> (The House of Shadows), offers an entirely different narrative, blending Moroccan artisanry with European-imported design. Experiences echo the city\u2019s vibrancy: a Leica photo tour through the souks, a Friday couscous feast in the communal kitchen, or an afternoon with a spice-dealer in the Mellah Quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"988\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marrakech-Patio-exteriors-7006-1-988x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marrakech-Patio-exteriors-7006-1-988x1024.jpeg 988w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marrakech-Patio-exteriors-7006-1-290x300.jpeg 290w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marrakech-Patio-exteriors-7006-1-768x796.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marrakech-Patio-exteriors-7006-1-1482x1536.jpeg 1482w, https:\/\/hongkongliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/TTT-Marrakech-Patio-exteriors-7006-1.jpeg 1544w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 988px) 100vw, 988px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>This Time Tomorrow in Marrakech<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This Time Tomorrow<\/em> is not a hotel; it\u2019s more personal.
