Beautiful property (recently renovated) 2 blocks from the Arno and very safe & quiet area of Florence. My room was large by European standards and the bathroom was very nice and large as well. Breakfast was ok but if it were not included in my package, I would not pay €28 for it. There is a fabulous restaurant close by, il Volo. The restaurant at the hotel is not open for lunch or dinner, unless private party. This was my 2nd time staying here. Would definitely stay here again.

Overall delightful stay with a couple minor misses

Overall a wonderfully quiet and relaxing oasis very close to central attractions. Lovely property that is an easy 10-20 minute walk to main train station and most of the main attractions in Florence. We did encounter a few minor challenges: A/C air flow is BEHIND the curtains, meaning you can cool the room OR you can close the curtains, just not both. We also had a few ants inside the bathroom and there were mosquitos in the courtyard area.
