Stella Greece

The location was ideal very central. Very helpful staff ; lovely room not a very nice view ; the roof terrace was being worked on but we could still go up to see the wonderful view .

Elaine United Kingdom

We have stayed at the hotel in the past and found it an excellent base for visiting the city. To say it's a comfortable hotel can seem uncomplementary but I think it's what I think most frequent travellers look for. Macchiavelli is not intimidating nor it it pretentious.

Alison United Kingdom

room being cleaned everyday. Staff are very helpful , welcoming, and they speak English well

Aurora Canada

Excellent location, great view from roof top terrace.

Ricardo Australia

Our stay with my partner was great, I can only reccomend. We very much enjoyed nice and clean accomodation and very friendly personal.

Karolína Czech Republic

Central location in Florence, a couple of minutes walk away from the train station too. Rooms are not modern, decor has a nice renaissance style to it, and they are spotless. Our room was on the 5th floor (below the rooftop bar) and had an amazing view of the duomo. I would highly recommend the rooftop bar for a drink, absolutely stunning views of the city.

Laura United Kingdom

A good value for money - spacious room, great location and friendly staff. We have also tried the rooftop bar in the hotel and enjoyed the view and delicious cocktails,

Stay in the heart of Florence

The Machiavelli Palace is set in a 14th-century convent, 350 yards from Santa Maria Novella Train Station. Its seasonal roof garden overlooks the historic centre of Florence, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Rooms at the Machiavelli feature traditional Florentine décor and come with smart satellite TV, minibar and fully equipped bathroom. Some include a balcony with cathedral views, others have exposed wooden beams on the ceiling.

A continental buffet breakfast is served daily, and room service is on request. A bar is available on the seasonal roof garden.

Staff here can provide tourist information, as well as arrange ticket reservations for museums. Fortezza da Basso Conference Centre is a 3-minute walk away.

This is our guests' favourite part of Florence, according to independent reviews.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
