I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, with a terrace and a comfy bed, and the daily changes were excellent. The front of Florence location was a highlight, but it was a bit too far from the center to walk comfortably in hot weather. The service was outstanding with a friendly and professional staff, though the breakfast was average. The hotel has an amazing garden with great views and a clean pool. The dining experience was nice with a variety of items, but the bread and croissants were not the best. The facilities were well-maintained, and the overall value for the money was great.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The beautiful rooms with balconies were lovely, but some drawbacks like the noisy air conditioning at face level and old carpet took away from the experience. The meals weren't the best, with only frozen pizzas available, but the location was perfect, offering a tranquil retreat close to Florence without the city noise.
Rooms

The room I stayed in had a direct airflow from the air conditioning unit at face level, making it uncomfortable. The narrow bathroom and outdated carpet were a bit disappointing, and the presence of mold was off-putting. Lack of a fridge and poor wifi connection were also drawbacks.

The staff members were all very friendly and willing to help, providing valuable advice on dining options in the area and transportation. I appreciated their attentiveness, especially when escorting an older guest out of the pool area.

The dining experience left much to be desired, with limited choices and lack of hot food options other than eggs. The timing for breakfast was convenient, but overall, the value for money was not great.
