My experience at this hotel was top-notch - the staff were welcoming, the room was immaculate, and the surroundings were lovely. I'd highly recommend it and would certainly stay here again.
A great boutique hotel! Lots of great artwork and wonderul ambience in the bar, library, outdoor patio (everyone on the first floor common area), and great music throughout the hotel. The room was very large and clean. Hotel had good amenities and the staff was very helpful providing great recommendations for places to see in Florence and in Tuscany overall.

Entire staff was lovely and Marco was especially helpful upon check-in and through out our stay!
Hotel is well kept, room was spotlessly clean and matched my booking. Staff were all welcoming and very helpful. Service was very good. Just picking a bit, we took a later beeakfast on one of the days and notice the choice was limited. Overall a good stay and would book again.
Unique hotel close to transportation and walkable neighborhoods. Staff was very friendly and helpful with any requests. Thanks Glenda, Margeaux and Vincent.
Great hotel, well appointed and quiet rooms (despite being on a busy square), attentive staff and casual vibe.slightly out of the main action, but an easy 15 minute stroll to all the centre. Tram outside the front door makes it super accessible.
