Our amazing stay in Florence
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay, the staff were really helpful and friendly. The rooms were very comfortable, lovely bed. A really nice touch a complimentary bar. Hotel was located in a very accessible part of Florence. The pool and gardens were wonderful especially when you had been out all day soaking up the beauty of Florence. Would recommend this hotel.

This is a beautiful hotel with a nice breakfast and a gorgeous spa. You have to reserve the pool because it is small. The staff was very welcoming and our room was lovely with a little private patio area. It was in a great location too.

Slice of Heaven
Hands down a slice of heaven in what can be a very hectic and busy city. What great amenities with the spa and views are probably some of the best. We stayed on the 3rd floor and faced the courtyard.

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel, and I could recommend to everyone. Officially the breakfast serves from 7:30, but you may ask if you can have it start from 7:00 (actually I had it starting from 7:00)

I loved the rooms at this hotel as well as how accommodating the staff were. I felt line this hotel gave us a perfect balance of the modern feel mixed with the Italian feel. I also loved the location and being able to walk to restaurants and some nightlife. My only gripe with the hotel was that the breakfast was always cold no matter how early I went down. Maybe that’s the way Italians eat their breakfast but I wasn’t a fan of that. And lastly we paid for spa access and we did get that but access to a masseuse for two people seem a little limited during our short 4 day stay.
