A lovely hotel conveniently located with excellent service. Among other things, hotel staff arranged guided tours for us of the Duomo and the Fra Angelico exhibition prior to our arrival
Great location, lobby area is spacious but room is small with minimal furnishings. Breakfast is great, location is very convenient to get to train station and museums
The property is conveniently located in the heart of Florence city center. The hotel is clean, staff is friendly. Breakfast and dining room foods were excellent.
Gorgeous hotel, incredible location right next to one of the sights (not busy though so it's quiet), nice and helpful staff, rooftop bar and pool with amazing views of the duomo and other sights, overall a great experience.
