We had an amazing stay at this hotel in Florence, right in the city center. The entire place is fully renovated, super clean, and everything feels brand new. The SMEG coffee and tea maker in the room was a great touch, making our mornings even better. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. For the price, this is honestly one of the best hotels in Florence. Highly recommended.

Amazing lodging for an American newbie tourist in Florence. Newly renovated, beautifully decorated and tastefully appointed, the room, the staff, and the hotel exceeded our expectations. Delightfully located in historical Florence just minutes walking distance from the key attractions- Uffizi, Duomo, Pitti Palace/Boboli Gardens are about a safe 10-15 minute walk. The hotel is close enough to return for a nap then head back out in the evening. Shout out to Sarah, the manager. She joyfully assists and is a true professional. The breakfast buffet is a must- excellent variety of hot and cold foods, cheeses, pastriesfresh fruit, and more - all perfectly prepared. Will def seek to stay here again on our next trip to Florence.
