We had an incredible stay at Dimora del Cardinale! A beautiful historic hotel. Rooms were very clean and spacious with vintage furniture. Only complaint is that our safe did not work + the shower head needs to be replaced - we had a light drizzle as a shower. Despite that we felt very safe and the hosts were very responsive over WhatsApp. The cleaner Rosie comes everyday and is an absolute angel! The location is central to absolutely everything you need right on the Main Street with all the best leather shops and close to tons of restaurants. Excellent time in Florence!

The staff was so friendly. They met us an hour early to let us into our room instead of having to store our luggage. It's a 15-minute walk from the train station, but once you're here, it's a great location. Very close to dining and shopping. There is a laundromat two minutes away, which was really convenient. The room was spacious and gorgeous. The apartment is also fabulous with a gorgeous salon and sitting area. We just loved it!
