Once was enough.
Location of the hotel is great. Our first impression of the staff and hotel was great but some of that changed during our 3 night stay. Our room had a European king bed which was not comfortable at all. Small details like the flat pillows and the bed moving apart during the night made it hard to get needed rest. The shower was so small there was no way to keep the water contained. The doors to the… Location of the hotel is great.

Perfect place to stay in Florence.

The staff was absolutely wonderful and spoke English. The cocktail bar is award winning the menu is small but the food was excellent... 3 minute walk to the Uffize and Ponte Vecchio. 18 minute walk to the Medici Chapel. 3 minute w… This is a beautiful hotel right on the Arno River.

A taste of fine old Florentine living!
Since the hotel was full, they sent us to a recently renovated flat the hotel has in a nearby building. It was within 10 mins walking distance from the main hotel. But the hotel arranged for a cab to take us there. It was located about 2 mins from Ponte Vechhio and in the middle of town. Even after renovation, the old style high ceilings with intricate designs have been preserved & gives you a… Since the hotel was full, they sent us to a recently renovated flat the hotel has in a nearby building.
