Behind Battistero Residenza d’Epoca lies a shared passion for hospitality and the enhancement of the local area. The concept was developed by Roberto Cappellini and Nicola Giuntini, heirs of two historic companies from Pistoia, who have transformed a complex of 13th-century tower houses into an exclusive place where history, culture, and hospitality intertwine.
Welcoming guests is an art that requires commitment and attention to detail. For this reason, Sara, Brigjilda, and Elisa take turns at the reception, always ready to offer advice, assistance, and to ensure that each stay is a genuine experience. It is not uncommon to see Roberto and Nicola sharing anecdotes about the city, passionately recounting the connection between the Residenza and the historical fabric of Pistoia.
In addition to providing an exclusive stay, the team is dedicated to creating a familial and elegant atmosphere, where every guest can feel welcomed and at ease, immersing themselves in the true essence of the city.
