We stayed for one night, from the outset the staff were very helpful. They organised a local garage to pick up our car for parking which worked very well. Really friendly and good breakfast in the restaurant next door.

Liked: Amenities
Clean room, staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations of things to do. Warning that there is a sewer/sulfur smell coming from drainage -after doing some research, this seems typical in some older neighborhoods in Florence. We kept the bathroom fan on all night and bathroom door closed as the smell is pretty strong.

This was a very last minute booking. Luca was very responsive on expedia and assisted with us getting a taxi and giving us a brief history of the building (which is amazing). It is located close to the train station. The room was cosy and great for our 5 month old, and the lift was very handy. The area is safe and very walkable with a variety of dining options. I would recommend this venue in a heartbeat!

It’s was wonderful- close to everything! Roof terrace had a great view! It’s was an adventure to find it for sure, but if you call them they give great directions and after it is a very nice location close to everything in Florence. Great staff, clean room, enough space for everyone. Loved it! We would stay there again.

Logement très bien situé, quasiment au pied de la cathedrale. Le personnel est adorable et nous a donné pleins d'excellents conseils. Le petit dejeuner dans l'établissement à côté était excellent. Seul bemol le conseil du parking (michelangelo) : voiture eb sécurité mais acces difficile et récupération difficile.

The property was really well located 2 minutes walk from the Duomo. Really nice breakfast included in a restaurant next door. There is a small front desk however when we were there there was no one there. We received clear instructions on how to get there and get in. There was a foul odor of drainage during our stay it appears it was a general problem in downtown Florence. Our room smelled also, we contacted the administration and we were moved to a nearby property.
