I love the location. the owner was incredibly nice and so was the staff. it was everything we needed for the budget that we planned.

Astrid United States of America

This is a lovely hotel! I enjoyed my stay so much that I can’t wait to go back sometime soon. It was in the perfect location, the building is history-filled and charming, and the staff is kind and helpful. The bed was extremely comfortable as well as the pillows. It was great to come back to my air conditioned room after walking all day in the Firenze heat 🔥! The breakfast was excellent and included as well. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Ellen United States of America

Breakfast was very good. All the staff provided outstanding service. I was able to travel away with my group, and leave most of my luggage at the hotel. I returned for one night and the staff arranged my room, had my suitcase waiting, and reserved an early morning taxi to take me to the airport!

Keith United States of America

Thomas United States of America
