I was so looking forward to this hotel and was very disappointed when I saw my room. I arrived yesterday with a group of friends (5 rooms total) and ALL of our rooms are nothing like the pictures the hotel advertises - they are average and rather boring, and I am completely under whelmed - well, we all are.

Stayed here during a family vacation last summer. We booked the family suite, it was HUGE! The hotel and the rooms had a very old-world charm to them. We actually found out a few months later, the place is an old monestary! The staff was very helpful, and the location is perfect! Walking distance from most touristy sights, and lots... More

Lovely hotel. Captures a Florence of another era while providing the modern amenities. Perfectly situated and totally charming. Understated and elegant. About to return for the third time, and can't wait.

I booked this hotel after reading recommendations on Trip Advisor & Rick Steves guide. For the price, it delivered as advertised. Quiet room, over-looking a court yard where students were mastering the art of sculpture. Appropriate, since the dome covering the great statue of David was only 200 meters away! That's right, our room looked out on David's s home.... More

This hotel is rare by any standard. It practices hospitality in the genuine sense of the term, remarkably detached from the emphasis on money which plagues hotels in North-America and many other countries around the world. Within a radius of 200 meters you find the San Marco Convent (where, arguably, the Renaissance started), the Accademia di Belli Arte (Italy's best... More

The hotel has an excellent location. It is located in the middle of Florence and everything is easy to reach. Its a beautiful old building on a wonderful square. The hotel is unique and historical. All the wonderful furniture and the historical decoration gives you the feeling of being in the Renaissance Florence. This has been the second time in... More

I found this hotel very disappointing. A few members of the staff were friendly and helpful but the others acted as if they didn't want to be bothered. The room, which was around the corner from the main hotel, was average. The breakfast, on the other hand, was really inadequate, compared to similarly priced hotels. The cornetti tasted like they...

The hotel is conveniently located in Florence and near many restaurants, gelato eateries and great there was shopping nearby. The staff were very helpful. We were little upset that we were placed in apartment around corner from the hotel but it was the best surprise of the trip. The rooms were very spacious and quiet. We enjoyed having our breakfasts... More

The hotel is in a Renaissance building opposite the Ospedale dei Innocenti in Piazza Santissima Annunziata. The rooms are full of character, and the staff are helpful. Breakfast could have been better, and our bathroom was a little quirky but overall we much enjoyed our stay.
