The front desk staff were helpful and friendly and came to our room to show us around. The pool area has several different seating areas and was well used by the guests. The hotel is in a very central spot and minutes away from the train station. I would definitely stay here again if I were to return to Florence!

We stayed in the Romance Suite, it was VERY spacious, two bathrooms, comfortable bed, sitting area, and a balcony - though not wide enough to sit, it was long enough to walk. Rooftop pool with lots of space to lounge and get a drink at the rooftop bar. Very classy and high quality throughout. Good location, quiet. Amazing staff.
