Incredibly beautiful property located in one of the best locations all of the great things to say are 2 to 10 minute walk at most. The building has a great Italian old architecture, but beautifully done interiors. The room I stayed in had its own steam room, its own sauna and a Jacuzzi and a living room. The staff went out of their way to assist me because I did not have a digital copy of some of the things I needed for check-in.

The staff was great from when we checked in to the time we left. The rooftop bar was amazing every evening to overlook Venice and the location couldn’t be better for those who like an inter-city hike and time at the museums. We travelled with our children and they loved it as well. Only two small issues were some ants in the room, and the shower drain seemed to be quite plugged. I am sure those are easily fixed and would not stop me from coming again. Worth every Euro, must be one of the best places in downtown Florence.
