“Wonderful”

Hotel extremely 5* In a central location, walking distance from all the sights. Car taken away to be parked. Expensive, but then you get what you pay for.

“Très bon hôtel, idéalement placé dans le centre historique de Florence, avec un excellent restaurant”

Cet hôtel mérite d'être plus connu .. le personnel est discret et eficace , et le restaurant de l'hôtel, où nous sommes allés "par défaut" à notre arrivée, est à classer au niveau des meilleurs de Florence. Les chambres sont très bien équipées , dans une rue calme . Une mention spéciale pour la salle du petit déjeuner , dans une véranda classique et très bien décorée . Un hôtel idéal pour un court séjour de 2 ou 3 nuits , le temps nécessaire pour bien visiter Florence , y compris le shopping .

“A great place to stay”

I cannot overstate the quality of this hotel. On arrival the car was whisked away to be parked, we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who then personally showed us to our room (no fumbling with bags - they followed later). The rooms were furnished with antiques and were very comfortable. The hotel is right in the centre of Florence, close to the Duomo, shopping and sights - just right. Take my advice - this is not the cheapest hotel you could find but you stay there and leave with a smile on your face.

“A nice Traditional hotel”

We really thought everyone at this lovely hotel was very plesant & accommodating, we simply had a miscommunication with the concierge which cause a problem (they handled it pefectly however). He spoke & understood english just fine, they simply do things differently than in the US & one has to make forgivenesses for such things in order to not let things ruin their vacation. The location was GREAT. Walking distance to the bus/train station for easy daily excursions. Right in the middle of the shopping district. A few blocks from the Arno & the more lively & upbeat South Side. This is a very quiet hotel. Our upgraded room was two stories which was an unexpected treat (very Europian). The jacuzzi in the all marble bath was great after a long day of walking. Heated floors/towel holders along with robes/sleeps made me feel right at home. They also have a decent free video library that was great for those nights we had no energy to walk another step. Their food was FABULOUS &room service prompt. They also had an affordable Internet Service. Our internet service in London was free (& in a much larger hotel). Here we had to pay, though not much, such a small hotel should provide it free. Florence is a VERY expensive city to visit. Be prepared with cash. Many places do not except credit. The hotel does not except credit on excursions they set up for you or stamps:cash only.

“Fabulous Florence Find!”

Loved my 7 night stay. Hotel lobby was great place to meet for drinks or coffee or to just relax. There was always a friendly face. Desk staff could not be more helpful and of course always smiling. Would stay there anytime. I highly recommend

“Unique Hotel in Great Location”

Quirky rooms with antiques make this hotel different from the impersonal hotels we find in many cities. The location is perfect - on a quite street and close to the best shops. Great service from the front desk and good advice on restaurants and galleries.
