The hotel building is a historic house, very spacious and with an interesting decor. The parking was a plus so if you are driving, the location is perfect because you can park, leave your car there and walk to Florence's main attractions which are about 10 or 15 minutes walk from the hotel Even if you have already checked out you can leave the car. Therefore it has a very convenient location. The cost for one full-day parking is €30. The breakfast is excellent t with plenty of options. The staff is very polite and willing to help. A special mention to Martina. She checked us in and out and helped us with the parking and gave us directions and explained the area. Very efficient and versatile with her duties.
This hotel was a perfect spot for our honeymoon. We stayed in July 2025. Its far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk to everything in the core. The tram station is close so commuting around was easy, especially to the airport. There is a fantastic restaurant around the corner.. best pizza in Italy I swear! Its called Ristorante Pizzeria da Nasone
Lovely, historic hotel a short walk from everything and yet felt secluded. Friendly, helpful staff, and the pool was a godsend in the summer heat. Nice breakfast too! Great rooms, quiet and had AC. Recommended to everyone!
Beautiful property, all amenities available in the room. Bathroom was very nice. However, Aircon was very old and I noticed that the photos of the rooms are quite misleading.
The breakfast was very good. We had a room in building that was separate from main hotel. The room look like it had just been updated. It was very quiet at night and was with in walking distance to the main attractions.
Hideous staff. Belligerent, disinterested and rude. Hotel has a student hostel vibe, packs of school kids running wild and noisy at night. Dark creepy drawing room. Absolutely no atmosphere. Florence was amazing, and everyone else we met was lovely. With exception of detached front managers glued to their computers.
A great place to stay. Well positioned, beautiful and well looked after. The staff were welcoming and helpful- particularly the lovely man who managed breakfast and the bar (which I strongly recommend). Hope to return.
Great stay.. felt safe and comfortable as a solo female traveler. Very attentive and friendly staff. Will definitely recommend 💯, easy 15 minute walk to main attractions. Lots of restaurants, supermarket and bars within close proximity. Perfect location
