A great location just 2 minutes from the Accademia, plus easy walking to the Duomo and Uffizi. Helpful staff even packed a breakfast for me when I had an early flight to catch! Safe area with several trattorias and cafes nearby. Complimentary afternoon wine in the shared courtyard was a nice touch!

Wonderful location, wonderful hotel, and wonderful staff! When we checked in, we were immediately told that we could help ourselves to a glass of Prosecco and drink it in the beautiful courtyard, which we did! Guests can also get a great cup of coffee (espresso, cappuccino, etc) if they prefer that instead. What a wonderful experience!

Great and friendly staff. The hotel was close to everything yet as quiet as can be at night for Italian standards. The breakfast area was lovely and they allowed guests to sit in the courtyard after hours to enjoy the lovely Florence evening breeze after a long day walking around. I spent a week here and would go back.

The property was centrally located and easily walkable to all the sights. The staff were friendly and helpful. They recommended a restaurant down the street that was out of the more touristy areas and it was our best meal of our trip. Really enjoyed our stay.

Loved the location, close enough to the Duomo to walk but far enough away to not have to deal with the crowds and noise. Breakfast was excellent every morning and staff always willing to help. One minor annoyance was the sound of the elevator beeping as it passed every floor; sound went through the walls and it would keep us up at night.
