This is a wonderful, upscale hotel in an absolutely fabulous part of town with easy walking to any of the major sites. Dozens of restaurants are also just steps away and the hotel itself boasts one of the cities most popular rooftop bars where hotel guests seem to get preferred seating. The train station is also only a few minutes taxi ride away!

Location & Food is great

Location and restaurant is top notch. It has a small but functional gym and staff is friendly. However, a room close to elevator isn’t the best because they don’t have great sound proofing. Noise of passing guests , staff , vacuum etc wakes you up.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Calimala in Florence—everything about it exceeded expectations. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, blending historic charm with modern touches, and the location is perfect for exploring the city--walking distance to everything including Santa Maria Novella train station. What truly made the experience memorable was the incredibly friendly and attentive staff, who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and cared for. From helpful recommendations to warm greetings each day, their hospitality really stood out. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Florence.

Such a magnificent hotel. We were greeted right at our car and from that moment, the wonderful kind staff gave us their full attention. We appreciated so many small details like chocolates in our room, multiple towels, Nespresso espresso machine, bottled water. The room was spotlessly clean and so charming with original stone walls and exciting art pieces. The sheets and pillows and quilts were of the highest caliber. What a comfortable bed after a long travel day. We had drinks and apps at the Angel rooftop bar and dinner at Mezze. Both were wonderful. Of course, the location was why we chose Hotel Calimala. It’s in the very heart of Florence. I can’t praise this place enough. Just perfection.

Artsy design, beautiful hotel, and fun vibe especially rooftop for dinner and views. Staff was friendly. However, I could not sleep one wink. It was so loud all hours throughout the night from the bar crawlers on the streets, to the plumbing noises, to high heels above me. I hate to give this a poor review because I had the best time until I tried to sleep.

Stay started off terrible! The view I paid for was definitely not work the money! With in 10 mins of being in my room I reached out to the hotel! They said they couldn’t control what happens outside of their hotel meaning the construction that I would have been forced to look at if I opted to stay in that room. I was willing to cancel my stay and find another room. The initial excitement was taken away due to the rooms view and what I thought I’d have based on Expedia pictures ! having to go to the front desk then having to move! As a mentioned in a previous review i don’t like how they treat tourist ( American ). The hotel is in walking distance of a lot of attractions however I didn’t feel comfortable asking for any recommendations after my experience at check in! Won’t visit again! There are so many hotels in the area I would be willing to give a try to if I ever visit Florence again! Wouldn’t say that the hotel wasn’t worth $1000.00 for two nights
