I can’t find the words to describe the charm of this magical hotel. It’s tucked away on a narrow street very close to the main shops and attractions of historic Florence. When you first enter, you see a beautiful open area with painted ceilings, which opens up to a spacious lobby area, which leads to an open garden courtyard. Seriously you won’t believe this garden! You are just meters from the bustling city, but it’s so quiet and peaceful. Our room even had a balcony overlooking the garden. If you are trying to find a boutique hotel that looks and feels exactly the way you think Florence looks from tv and movies, this is the one you want! We chose it because it had a really low price on Expedia, and we were a little worried about what it would be like since it was listed at a lower price compared to others on the site, so we really couldn’t believe our luck when we arrived and saw this place. It is exactly what we wanted. And the breakfast - other reviewers have written about how great it is. It is even better than you can imagine. A buffet of pastries, breads, cakes, eggs, meats, cheeses, cereal, yogurt, juices, amazing coffee, served in the garden patio by friendly staff. In the evenings there is a bar that will serve you drinks and snacks in the garden. We would definitely stay here again.
