Everything was great especially with Sherry and the other young lady at breakfast. But the elevator being broken didn’t help my 82-yr old father when going up to the 2nd floor.

A beautiful small hotel, very quiet, and has a staff who is available to help with any matter. The wifi is good enough for Zoom meetings, the location is perfect (2 2-block walk to the historic area), and the breakfast is delicious with lots of different options. The only place I will stay whenever I come to Florence!
