Lecchi Vacation Packages

The palace is well appointed. The breakfast is good with excellent coffee and the staff was very attentive. Lorenzo helped check us in and show us the property and was very friendly, even remembering our names throughout our visit. A/c goes down to 21 Celsius.

The Hoxton was so nice. There was only one or two things that were not optimal, but totally did not outweigh the other positives. We stayed on the ground floor and had a small courtyard area which was lovely, but the door to our room was pretty difficult to open. And, lastly the bathroom had a musty, odd smell to it. I think there might be some venetalation issues, but again neither outweighed all of the positives of our stay. Everything else in the room was perfect however. The bed was comfortable, the temperature controls, and we absolutely loved the courtyard area of our room. The staff was also so fabulous - from the front desk, the cocktail bar, to breakfast. Along with that the property was absolutely gorgeous. During our stay we took advantage of the buffet breakfast during one day and it was so worth it. It was delicious and exceeded our expecations. The cocktail lounge area was amazing as well. The drinks and apps were delicious. So, overall I would highly reccomend staying here!

The property was lovely. A former 15th(?) century monastery located on a hilltop overlooking parts of Florence. Surrounded by olive and fruit trees, and gardens. It's past the Roman gate, about a 30 euro cab ride from the center of town. Though they didn't tell us until we asked, there's a shuttle that will take you down the hill to the Roman Gate where taxis and busses can be found. We arrived just after the hotel restaurant had closed for the afternoon by a minute. They were kind/professional enough to serve us something from the cold selections; and it was delicious. The breakfast buffet the next day was outstanding with excellent selection and quality. The usual 3 or 4 hot items: scrambled eggs, breakfast meat, roasted tomatoes. Where it really excelled were the cold items. Fresh juices, local yogurts, fruits, meats, cured salmon. Perfectly executed pastry, and breads with honeycomb stood out. Dinner was a mixed bag. The big downside was that we arrived in October. Apparently, the property has to commit each year to the local authorities when they will close the pool, and switch from A/C to heat in the rooms. We booked through Expedia and therefore information on things may be incomplete. No mention that the pool was closed. It was almost worse that it was too warm to sleep well at night. We had even contacted the front desk after the first night and they said they'd send someone to look at it. Which we learned later made no sense BC it was off for the season.

Very spacious. Luigi at breakfast was amazing!We wished the AC was better.
