My daughter and I stayed at the Hotel Casci for 6 nights in January, and we were delighted with our choice. We are experienced, independent travelers who spend our days out and about, looking at art. The Hotel Casci was the best situated hotel imaginable, just minutes away by foot to all the sights in Florence. Our room was warm, spacious, and very clean and well taken care of, with two comfortable beds and a new bathroom with a large, wonderfully deep bathtub and shower. Best of all was the big breakfast buffet each morning, with lots of fresh fruit (melon, pineapple, clementines, bananas, apples, even lychee), cereals, cakes, breads, meats, cheese, yogurt, and even an egg boiling machine that cooks eggs to your specification. The coffee and cappuccino were delicious and endless.
The hotel is quaintly labyrinthine, in a 15th century palace next door to the Medici Palazzo. It retains the feel of a traditional, family-run pensione while being modern in its conveniences and attitudes. The members of the family speak excellent English, and are warm, welcoming, friendly, helpful, and always present. We felt well taken care of by the staff at Hotel Casci, and we were wonderfully productive in our outings since we were so close to everything!
