Our stay was plagued by a lack of sound-proofing. We could hear everything around us, making it impossible to sleep soundly. the cleaning staff's loud conversations in the hallway at dawn were utterly disruptive and frustrating.

the hotel was undoubtedly charming, but the staff was less than welcoming. I was shocked they didn’t offer any tea service, a basic amenity! I almost gave a good review, but the awful air-conditioning spoiled it completely. I would have expected a complimentary upgrade for enduring the chaos of a rainstorm, yet none arrived.

perfect spot for enjoying florence's beauty and attractions
During my stay, I loved how close the hotel was to the bustling Mercato Centrale, just a few steps away, and the friendly staff made my experience even better, especially when they provided plates for breakfast with a smile. I truly felt at home in this beautiful city.

The Standard Double or Twin Room was comfy with good air conditioning and spacious enough to feel at home. The bathroom was large and clean, which is always a plus. I appreciated that the room had great water pressure in the shower. Just a heads up, you might hear some noise from the hall, nothing too crazy, but noticeable if you're a light sleeper.

The charming decor of the lobby made me feel like I had stepped into a cozy Italian villa, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The lifts were quite handy, making accessibility a breeze for everyone.
More sound insulation needed for peaceful nights.

This stay was fantastic! The location was ideal, allowing us to explore Florence easily. Our family loved the large suite we got, which included a little area for our pets. The kids enjoyed the garden and we made some lovely memories as we soaked in all the sights.
For dads, it would be great to have longer quiet hours.
