    Well, some may say that the chairs in the room would benefit from some new upholstery but from my experience, when historical places start changing their old good furniture, it's only for the worse :)

    Wonderful, cosy place in the very heart of Florence! Literally two steps from the Uffizi Gallery! Clean and comfortable rooms, nice bathrooms with everything that's needed for your stay like sleepers, bathrobes and even a room fragrance. The hotel is located in a historical building and the breakfast area is definitely worth a visit. I love this type of places with history and soul, which is totally absent from the modern high-tech hotels. Finally, a little rooftop bar has a beautiful view over Florence and a really tasty AperiVista offer :) Not to miss :) Staff is friendly and helpful, and you'll feel welcome. It was indeed one of my favourite stays over the years.

The breakfast and service was fabulous, and the position of the Hotel cannot be faulted - on the banks of the Arno within easy walking distance of all the treasures of Florence.

From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and satisfaction. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and tastefully decorated. The amenities provided were top-notch, including the delicious breakfast options. The location was also perfect, with easy access to nearby attractions and transportation.

    The location of this hotel is stunning. It is right in city center between the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery. If you're in Florence to see as many museums as possible, this is where you want to be. It was between 5-15 min walk to most museums. Absolutely fantastic! The hotel itself is as stunning as the city. Beautiful marble bathrooms in the typical style of Florence, and the breakfast hall has paintings all over the ceiling, like most historic buildings in the city.

    Orientation within the property was quite a task on its own. Finding your room back again through 2 adjacent houses and just 2 floors to pass through (Yes-1th and 3rd work!). Nice extra to your holiday - a small adventure game is included :) Nevertherless a few arrows would make this easier for some tired travellers.

    Lokation superb (you can´t get it closer to the centre in Florence), breakfast room nice and historic, breakfast as expected for a 4star hotel . Rooftop bar amazing with very polite and friendly bartenders. Actually not a single negative comment to anyone of the staff.

    Perfect location for city exploration

    We did not like the city noise (cars, church bells and building work) but when travelling to a city that is to be expected. Bringing earplugs worked for us. Despite the noise, we would stay here again.

    We chose the hotel for its location and close proximity to all sights: Duomo, Santa Maria Croce, Palazzo Pitti, Uffizi, etc. are right at your doorstep - brilliant! Due to the location, in front of the Arno and a small road which runs parallel to the Arno, there can be noise coming from passing cars or tourists walking along the river (even late at night - normal city noise?). Also, be mindful of the church bell ringing every hour; we used earplugs. When making the reservation, why not request a high floor? We had a basic classic room on the fourth floor with great views over the Uffizi and Duomo. One side of the breakfast room on the first floor faces the Arno (there are only two tables with a view): the buffet offfers a good choice of fruit, yoghurts, juices, pastries, etc. but the cooked items are not always hot. The breakfast staff was very friendly and accommodating throughout our three day stay! The bar on the top floor is fantastic and offers views over the Arno from the small outside space (16 Euros for a cocktail). There is a small lounge with books on the second floor and another small lounge on the ground floor: both areas are very comfortable and quiet. Room prices were reduced drastically nearer the time of our arrival; worth keeping in mind!

    A first rate four star hotel in a superb location with features some five star hotels might envy.

    I liked everything! However, it should be remembered that this is a top end 4 Star hotel, not a 5 star palace. That means that even though the historical architectural features of the hotel are sensitively displayed, and some areas-- like the breakfast room-- are spectacular-- one shouldn't expect period antiques throughout the hotel. In general, public rooms are equipped with standard commercial hotel furniture. (I can imagine an upgrade in the future in which the elegant style of the rooftop bar begins to pervade the overall hotel). Rooms are certainly attractive and luxurious, but they lack individuality. Breakfast is excellent, but fresh juice comes with an extra charge.

    Given the fact that the hotel has perhaps the best location in Florence, it would probably be popular even if it weren't good, but, in fact, it is very good indeed! Very comfortable rooms with high quality linens, luxurious bathrooms with marble everywhere, a friendly, helpful staff, and a breakfast room decorated with historic frescoes, are all part of the experience. Perhaps best of all is the elegantly modern design of the rooftop bar, which features a stunning view of the Duomo-- in fact the same view featured in the film, "A Room with a View," famously shot in the hotel.
