Although the lobby is gorgeous, it’s very confusing trying to find your room. There are staircases with very little instruction as to which way to go. The air conditioning in our room did not work the first night and it had been in the 90s during the day. It took them until 5 o’clock to fix the air conditioning the next day. Unfortunately, the other member of my party had been sick in bed all day sweltering. The location is fabulous. Breakfast was decent.

This is a beautiful small-ish hotel just below the Ponte Vecchio. Our room was very comfortable, with everything we could need for our extended stay. (Caveat for those with mobility issues: there are lots of stone steps inside and the elevator seems to stop only between floors, so stairs are inevitable.) From the hotel entrance, it is easy to walk to all the main tourist sites or enjoy a quiet stroll around the Oltrano. Try the gellateria on the hotel's first floor - exceptional!

An excellent place to stay. Within walking distance of the sights. The hotel itself is a converted palace and actually adjoins the Vasari Cirridorband is a hop step and jump away from Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palce. The Duomo Uffeuci and Cechio palaces are a walk away! Its own restraint offers unrivalled views of the Florentine skyline. The resturaunts in the vicinity are outstanding in quality and value for money.

Superb accomadation. Some rooms have 16 th ce they frescoes as it’s a converted palace. It’s within walking distance of the sights and is walking distance from many good restaurants in the Oltrano! Its own resturaunt on its terrace offers unrivalled views of Florence. It is an excellent location and staff are most helpful

This is a good, if quirky hotel, but we enjoyed our stay here. We were in a garden facing (Superior) room, and the revelation of this location for us was that it was so quiet. Florence is a very busy city, and can feel a bit overwhelming, but once into the hotel, all the noise and hubbub of the city disappears and all you hear is the bird song. The room was clear and comfortable and we slept like logs. Breakfast was good. There is a restaurant for dinner which we didn’t use, but the roof top terrace and bar is terrific. Really lovely spot. Locally, Ponte Vecchio is a couple of minutes walk and the city is all very walkable from here. Also, lots of restaurants locally (we particularly like ‘Il Pacchero’ which did superb pizza’s!
