This was our fourth and final time staying at this hotel. Front desk staff was not helpful (almost rude)and it would have been nice to get some kind of recognition for our loyalty. All high end hotels are proud to say that their guests are loyal. Not La Gemma.Our room was tiny and extremely noisy . Still a very well maintained hotel in an excellent location.

Ambience and service was absolutely spectacular. Seriously they go above and beyond and their location in Florence is nearby shopping stores, and we thought it was pretty central to everything. Breakfast was a 10 out of 10. Drinks were a 10 out of 10. Truly, everything was beautiful.
