This is my second stay at this hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful, made all museum reservations. They recommended restaurants and made the reservations. They gave me maps and were incredibly patient about giving me directions. The rooms are historic, comfortable, very clean. The new historic terrace where Michaelangelo once sculpted is a gem. I like the location because... more

Classy lobby, sumptuous (and seldom used) reading room/lounge on the 1st floor. Staff was always friendly and helpful; everyone spoke excellent English of course. The dining area is spacious and attractive, and includes a patio overlooking the garden. Breakfast was the typical buffet at a good European hotel. Everything was fresh and quickly replenished, but if you like coffee or... more

We were at first quite impressed with the hotel upon seeing the beautiful lobby, but our first impression was quickly ruined by the rest of our experience. We had a quadruple room that was sparsely decorated, which was fine, but for the barely working air conditioning system. After asking the front desk to look into it, we were told that... more

This hotel is very nice. It's out of the crazy center of Florence, which is getting more and more like a theme park as the years go by. (crowds, tours). The staff is helpful and friendly. more
