This hotel was a perfect spot for our honeymoon. We stayed in July 2025. Its far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk to everything in the core. The tram station is close so commuting around was easy, especially to the airport. There is a fantastic restaurant around the corner.. best pizza in Italy I swear! Its called Ristorante Pizzeria da Nasone

The hotel building is a historic house, very spacious and with an interesting decor. The parking was a plus so if you are driving, the location is perfect because you can park, leave your car there and walk to Florence's main attractions which are about 10 or 15 minutes walk from the hotel Even if you have already checked out you can leave the car. Therefore it has a very convenient location. The cost for one full-day parking is €30. The breakfast is excellent t with plenty of options. The staff is very polite and willing to help. A special mention to Martina. She checked us in and out and helped us with the parking and gave us directions and explained the area. Very efficient and versatile with her duties.

Enjoyed our stay here. This is an older hotel but maintains a special charm that you can’t find at other accommodations. The staff was lovely, and we were even allowed to check in early. The breakfast buffet was mediocre and there’s a mildew smell in some places but overall, we had a positive experience.

Great Hotel in Florence

I was in Florence on business and needed a reasonably priced hotel that was not far from the city center. This hotel fit my needs perfectly. The hotel was clean, comfortable, reasonably priced, the breakfast was very nice, and the staff were superb. I would stay here, again, and plan to on my next business trip to Florence.
