8.9Verified guest“I had a wonderful five-night stay. The rooms were bright, decorated in an Italian style, and had hypoallergenic pillows. Service was excellent throughout, and I even got a free wake-up call.”
8.9Verified guest“The hotel is elegant and spotlessly clean, the staff are incredibly accommodating, and the location is convenient to the station – the 23 bus drops you almost at the door.”
8.9Verified guest“The garden around the hotel was beautiful and added a peaceful touch.”
8.9Verified guest“Our room had a handy kitchenette, perfect for preparing baby food for our seven-month-old. The hotel has lots of charm, is away from the tourist crowds, yet close enough to walk everywhere. We would happily stay again.”
8.9Verified guest“The room was beautifully decorated, with the highest ceilings I've ever had in a hotel. The bathroom was lovely too, with a semi-opaque ceiling letting in natural light. The neighbourhood is quiet and green, and there are good bus links to the centre, or you can walk, especially to Santa Croce. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.”
8.9Verified guest“Rooms were spacious, and the location was close to Piazzale Michelangelo, within a 15-minute walk to the centre of Florence.”
