I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel is right in the square in front of the Cathedral, making it so easy to explore the city. The rooms were impressively clean and spacious, though a bit noisy due to the lively area. The service was delightful, and the homemade soups served were a highlight of my stay.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel that offered authentic Italian charm and comfort in the heart of historical Florence. The spacious and clean room with a very comfortable double bed was perfect, although the noise from the nearby Irish bar could be a downside at night. The service was top-notch, with helpful and friendly staff who provided great recommendations for exploring the city.
