If you enjoy a more intimate, smaller property, La Gemma is exceptional. Pefectly located near central Florence, yet quiet and very attractive. The rooms and public areas are very well maintained and spotless. I enjoyed the smart decor and tasteful details. The staff including concierge and reception were always on-point and eager to assist. Our room was well appointed with thoughtful amenities. Housekeeping was also very sharp with turndown and upkeep. We did not have time to eat at the restaurant but my restaurant friends in Florence speak very highly of it. As a hotel professional I thought the overall experience was fantastic and I would highly recommend La Gemma.

Good location, room was pretty beat up and next to elevator which we heard all night long as it wrapped next to our bedroom walls. Loud music permeated from street most of night which could be heard from room. Front desk friendly however Luca restaurant personnel were rude. Laundry was expensive - $200+ for a few shirts and trousers.

The most beautiful hotel -,stylish decor, fantastic amenities and luxurious rooms. Great à la carte breakfast and wonderful staff. The welcome drink and personal collection from the lounge was a nice touch by Vidi. And the best bit? You honestly couldn’t get a better location - in the very heart of Florence. Close the windows and you can hear a pin drop. Absolutely wonderful. I’ll never stay anywhere else in Florence ever again

La Gemma is a beautiful boutique hotel centrally located in Florence. The decor is stunning. The hotel offers a wonderful breakfast that is made to order. Everything we ordered was delicious. It should be noted that the hotel is in a busy area so I would suggest a room not facing the Main Street if you like a quieter experience. The hotel offers a beautiful launch pad for your Florence travel experience.

This hotel was spectacularly good and we’ve stayed at a fair number of 5 stars over the years. Only 2-3 years old, this 25 room boutique hotel oozes class and has a fantastic vibe and bold color scheme. The staff and service are superb…we were very impressed. And the location couldn’t be better.
