We loved loved loved Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco!!! We truly did!
We came as a family; 2 parents and 2 adult children, and the room we were allocated, no kidding, took our breath away...there was a fresco on the ceiling!!! Who could not be enchanted with that? In addition to the fresco, the room was beautifully furnished as well as very spacious. The bathroom was perfect, and joy oh joy, there was a bath. The artwork in our room and throughout the hotel was wonderful - so impressively collected and curated.
Ideally located for us first-time-Florentines, we discovered that Hotel Il Guelfo Bianco was right in the heart of 'Firenze.' We loved opening up our shutters in the morning and looking out on the busy, 'hummy' street below all the while fancifully pretending the hotel was our house! Ah if only...
But back to reviewing, breakfast was included in our tarrif, and was stunning with much of the menu coming from local farms.
And the staff were very friendly and helpful, arranging our museum tickets for us (which was wonderful because we hadn't given any of that a thought and had left everything to the last minute), dinner reservations, and even our fabulous iBike Florence Tour.
Aaah Firenze...art, culture, sculpture, history, bicycles, food, wine...with a fabulous hotel to explore it all from - will we return?
Senza dubbio!
