This was the second stay for us at the Hotel Santa Maria Novella. All that we loved about it the first time we enjoyed again. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the breakfast is very good, the bar is fantastic, the location is fabulous for walking around the core area of Florence. While we did get an upgrade with a sitting area, the room was a bit dark, but our kids' room was very bright with a great view as was the case with our first visit. We would definitely return on our next trip to Firenze!

This property is charming. Very clean, staff was all fine. I had two complaints, Our bedroom was 15 steps above the living room and bathroom, which was a true inconvenience. And our room was 2 elevators and 8 more steps from the lobby, which I guess comes with such a classic structure
