Great staff , great location and the room was super quaint and clean. The included breakfast was amazing. Our favorite part about our 3-night stay was getting to know the breakfast host, Clemente, who loved telling us about the area and customs when we struck up conversations with him.

We had a wonderful experience at the hotel, they had a room avaliable before check in and allowed us to go in early. They were also very helpful with explaining to us where the main sight-seeing places were, as well as restaurants. The room was clean and comfy. I would recommend this hotel!

Lovely historic hotel in the perfect location for all the sites! Breakfast was solid, bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with good water pressure. The staff was fabulous and gave us a map upon check in that we used throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Great hotell overall. Friendly staff, nice room, comfy bed, fresh and clean. Location was the best with easy access (walking distance) to the central areas, train station, and a supermarket across the street. The breakfast left some room for improvement but it was absolutely ok.
Amazing place, we were in the newer room and it was perfect. Staff is great, all around amazing experience

Wonderful experience in Florence. The room was super spacious, the bed was comfortable and the whole interior is a mix of Renaissance and modern design.
The Duomo is within walking distance and you can take the tram directly from the airport.
Breakfast was very nice and I want to highlight the staff who offered to make us a breakfast box when we had to check out at 5 am.
Will definitely come again!

The property was centrally located and easily walkable to all the sights. The staff were friendly and helpful. They recommended a restaurant down the street that was out of the more touristy areas and it was our best meal of our trip. Really enjoyed our stay.

The entire staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. As it’s hard to park in Florence, they had my car picked up and brought to a garage and then returned to us when we left and the cost was fairly reasonable too. very convenient location with an easy walk to all the main sites and lots of restaurants.
