The staff were very kind and welcoming even though we arrived quite late. The elevator to the second floor wasn’t working during our stay, but the hotel helped us carry our luggage. The room was very quiet and had a charming, antique atmosphere.

Rhonda, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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

Great location, fantastic room, friendly staff.
Kristin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.
