Lovely little hotel
Love this little hotel. It’s like being in an antiques shop, so Florence. Great staff. Good buffet breakfast. Perfect location for the centre. Less than 5 minutes from the Cathedral, excellent restaurants, cafes and bars. This was our second stay and would book again.

Ideal base to explore Florence
Wonderful three night stay here on my first trip to Florence. The hotel is in a convenient location close to places like the Duomo and the Galleria dell’Academia, as well as many good restaurants and cafes. The building might be old and dated but the room is very clean and the bed is comfortable. The staff are also friendly and helpful.

I enjoyed this hotel because it made it feel like you were receiving the italian experience because of the decorum in the rooms and windows while also maintaining modern qualities of a hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Well placed for walking to restaurants, Santa Maria Novella, Ponte Vecchio. Pharmacy next door as well in case you catch a bug from your travels.
