Beautiful historic hotel, freshly renovated with modern facilities close to Santa Croce! Best of all for sure the American rooftop bar "Empireo" and the rooftop pool, where you have a stunning 360 degree view over Firenze but also everything else, really everything and especially every single staff , is great!
Staff extremely friendly and competent, especially the breakfast team. Cleaningness of the airconditioned rooms exceptional, great beds and wonderful bed linen.
Had a room in the 4th floor with huge northwest terrasse with best views in town to Santa Croce. As the terrace is so spatial 2 desk chairs would be very welcomed, table and chairs still fine!
We will definitely come back to "Pensione Lucchesi" as the hotel was called when D. H. Lawrence spent his time there being inspired to start with the novel "Lady Chatterly's Lover", the book actually you should buy together with a tasty cocktail in the rooftop bar, both delicious !!
Congratulations to the management of the hotel for best equipped hotel and especially for the great staff they have which makes you feel at home in Firenze and after staying 6 wonderful days and nights there, in an oasis of best air conditioned hotel lobby and rooms when the weather in Firenze was around 40 degrees all the time, we were extremely sad to leave both, Firenze but especially the Lucchesi!
Have great memories and hopefully return soon again!!
Arricederci, Grazie mille!
