This hotel was excellent and was in a good location close enough to the main squares and attractions. The staff in the restaurant were very pleasant and took extra care of the guests.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Having the beautiful gardens, pool and spa made it a wonderful experience to relax at before and after busy sightseeing days!!
The staff were extremely helpful and Carm (Carmela?) was a particular pleasure with her bubbly and warm personality!
We would definitely stay here again when visiting Florence!
Wonderful hotel. Staff was so friendly and helpful. A quick walk from the train station made it so convenient for our travels. When you walk toward the hotel, there is a moment of skepticism but walk through those sliding glass doors and the hotel is a true beauty. We walked everywhere from this hotel. Highly, highly recommend a stay at this hotel.
Highly recommend this. While short walk to everywhere in the city, the garden and pool are so secluded you get the best of both worlds. Breakfast was included, and having late night wine in the garden could not have been more perfect
The staff were lovely, helpful, and accommodating. They ordered us taxis when requested. They helped us coordinate our reservations with the spa. And they gave us a full tour of the amenities. It was a absolutely beautiful room. We had a view of the duomo. The breakfast was very extensive and delicious with two order espresso or cappuccino or any other coffee you would want.
I only have good things to say about this hotel. Great room, lovely garden, well maintained facilities and the staff are outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they were exceptionally friendly.
Would definitely stay again, Highly recommended.
I love the staff at breakfast and the front desk. I love the patio and the informal gatherings in the garden both daytime and evening wonderful breakfast.
What a wonderful hotel. Rooms had everything we needed. Place was neat and tidy. Friendly staff. And a wonderful spa that was much needed after a long day of walking around Florence. Would definitely stay here again.
I highly recommend this beautiful and comfortable accommodation. The stafff is amazing. Alice was top notch and attended to our requests with perfection. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Staff is very friendly and the benefit of having a spa in the hotel with fair prices made all the difference.
Hotel is a lovely location in the city. Walking distance from the train station. When you enter off a busy street the space is peaceful and opens to a fruit tree garden with a spa. We booked massages and enjoyed lunch on the outdoor patio in the garden. Was a perfect 1 night getaway.
Wonderful staff and hotel. Very relaxed place to stay in the centre of Florence. Food at dinner was also very good and our server, Camille, really took care of us.
It was a very relaxing stay at this hotel. The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom was fabulous very relaxing with blue lights in the shower. I enjoyed the spa. The only problem is you need to make reservations for the pool/sauna/hotub and sometime that might be inconvenient.
A little pricey but well worth it. 10-15 min walk to city center but location is great with short 5 min drive to main train station. Rooms are huge and rain shower is amazing after a long day of sightseeing. Staff is very helpful and friendly.
