Above and beyond
It’s the best location for eating, drinking, shopping and seeing the history of it all. It’s a boutique style hotel with an awesome rooftop bar and restaurant and view. We had a 24 hour delay back to the US due to weather and the hotel staff accommodated our every need from transportation to other things to do while we spent an extra day there, to include assistance with opening a few bottles of wine for us. Emmanuel was even on the phone with airlines trying to assist us in rebooking our alternative flights back to the US. Can’t wait to stay there again during our next visit and will recommend them to all our friends. Ciao’.

Miami to Florence and disappointed.
Traveling for 30 days in Europe, the reviews for this hotel are mixed. The hotel is old and in desprit need of a remodel. The check in was ok, the staff is ok. The wifi is not good, the room is tiny , maybe 100 SQ ft. The breakfast is ok but better choices outside. I would not recommend this hotel.

The location was perfect! It was minutes away (walking distance) from Ponte Vecchio Bridge but on the quiet end, away from the busy tourist area. There were many good dining options close by. Our room was spacious with a lovely garden view. Bed was comfortable. The rooftop bar/restaurant had an amazingly view and awesome ambience. Highly recommend this hotel.

Beautiful generous people work here! The room was very clean and comfortable, the location was very central for tours, restaurants, and sights. We had a difficult trip before we arrived here and they made us feel at home here. The only small complaint was that the wifi was inconsistent and sometimes difficult to get a signal (this seemed to be a problem throughout Florence)

The hotel staff arranged to have a ramp built for me on the spot when I arrived as there was one step at entrance and couldn’t manage it with a wheelchair. I was very impressed. Nice hotel. Gorgeous lobby. Everything was very clean. Very convenient location steps away from the Ponte Vecchio bridge.
