Excellent central location for exploring Florence. Located right on the Arno, steps from the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio, this was the perfect home base for exploring the city for 4 days. Stayed in a superior double which was actually quite small so didn’t have much room to open luggage or unpack, but room was still nice and clean. Staff was very helpful with recommendations and reservation requests for restaurants. Lovely breakfast spread each day. Would recommend and stay again.
