Lovely little hotel
Love this little hotel. It’s like being in an antiques shop, so Florence. Great staff. Good buffet breakfast. Perfect location for the centre. Less than 5 minutes from the Cathedral, excellent restaurants, cafes and bars. This was our second stay and would book again.

Amazing Hotel in Florence
We absolutely loved our stay here. The room was very large and comfortable. The property is amazing, elegantly decorated and displaying a very fine collection of art. Really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and free Prosecco in the evening. The front desk and all the staff are friendly and very helpful.

Ideal base to explore Florence
Wonderful three night stay here on my first trip to Florence. The hotel is in a convenient location close to places like the Duomo and the Galleria dell’Academia, as well as many good restaurants and cafes. The building might be old and dated but the room is very clean and the bed is comfortable. The staff are also friendly and helpful.

Fantastic stay
Great boutique hotel near to everything in Florence. The room was great, huge high decorated wooden beam ceiling was so ausome. Art work everwhere and mirrors taller than me. Loved staying here, breakfast was just what we wanted too.

A beautiful, rustic setting in downtown Florence. Old style rooms with beautiful tiles in bathroom and original art. All the staff was excellent. Angelica was so thoughtful to share wonderful places to eat and acquainting us with our proximity to major landmarks.
