This hotel is absolutely beautiful and the staff are exceptional! Every member of staff made sure we had everything we needed and they did so happily. We stayed here for 2 nights and as each member of staff went off duty, if we were downstairs, they came over to say goodbye and to see if they could do anything for us before they left. Breakfast was excellent and there was a wide choice served in a beautifully elegant room in keeping with the rest of the hotel. We could've had breakfast outside in the garden if we'd wanted. Our room was stunning with everything we needed. We had a garden view with a nice long balcony and 2 doors leading onto it. We asked at reception for a recommendation for lunch/dinner and they suggested an Italian restaurant 5 minutes walk away that made homemade pasta. They booked it for us and it was extremely good and reasonably priced The hotel is about 10-15 minutes walk in the heat (38 degrees) to the start of town so if you have trouble walking far i would suggest a taxi. One day we got a taxi into the San Lorenzo district as this would've been quite a trek and it cost around €15 (via the outskirts) there and €10 back (bus the centre of town). In the evenings we had a nightcap in the hotel bar and their Aperol Spritz was the best I've had. There is also a rooftop garden with amazing views.I spent a long time on Expedia to find the right hotel for us and this hotel did not disappoint. It was perfect in every way and I can't praise this hotel enough.

love you!!!

i love this place and the staff!! only thing i wasn’t the most pumped about is how you give your key to the desk whenever you are leaving the hotel. i understand they are very unique keys and pick pocketing/theft is common so it’s not the worst idea to do this.

Beautiful hotel in the outskirts of the old quarter. Easy to walk to the main attractions and museums, and quieter. Friendly staff, willing to help. Delicious breakfast served 8-10:30, with delicious coffee. 11 min walk from the main train station.

The hotel is in a great location of sights, train station and while old in style the room was clean and a lovely balcony with a river view. Breakfast had a good selection and the staff were very helpful and attentive. It is a good base to see Florence.

5-star rating for the staff that goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Convenient location, just a couple of minutes walk to the main attractions. Beautiful garden and closed paid parking. Great rooftop view. The hotel itself needs immediate renovation. The smell of mold in our room got me sick after two nights and to help the air conditioning system is so old that the room never got the temperature down. When we arrived at the room, room was not very clean and it had hairs from the previous guests in the bathroom and on the furniture at the feet of the bed. Mattresses are already losing consistency probably because they are too old. It is a family owned hotel and therefore I will be more lenient on these facts than I normally am and hopefully they will make me the necessary renovations for us to come back again.
