Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with balconies for better views of the surrounding area and a fantastic location making it perfect for exploring Florence. The service is top-notch with proactive staff willing to assist with reservations. The dining options are delightful, serving delicious meals. However, be prepared for some additional costs like city tax in cash, though overall, the value for money is good.
The hotel offers fantastic views and attention to details but lacks sound isolation in the rooms. The service was excellent except for the requirement of cash for city tax. The location provides a peaceful oasis close to the main attractions. The dining options were varied and delicious, and the facilities were well-maintained.
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.
