8.6Verified guest“The front desk team knew the area well and pointed me to great spots. Room service was quick and the meals were good. Breakfast had plenty of variety and tasted great. Like others said, the rooftop pool has a nice view but closed too early for evening swims.”
8.6Verified guest“Great pool, and the location is unbeatable with all the restaurants nearby.”
8.6Verified guest“Immaculate hotel in a lovely boutique building, right next to the main tourist areas and shopping. Modern rooms with very comfy beds and a wake-up service. Bathroom was large, and the reception staff were efficient and incredibly friendly. Central to everything in Florence, and walking distance to a square with a cathedral.”
