My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and unusually designed but worked very well. It was a bit far from the busy areas, which provided a quiet and clean atmosphere. The service I received was extremely accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The location was fantastic, right next to the Pitti Palace and within a short walk to Florence's old town and charming restaurants. The dining options were varied, with a lovely terrace offering a stunning view of the city while enjoying a meal.

The hotel location is the best part, being quite central and close to major sights. The rooms felt slightly disorganised at times, but the hotel is only 10 minutes away from everywhere. The dining experience could have been better, but the view from the terrace is delicious. The service ranged from unprofessional to delightful staff experiences. Overall, a great location with room for improvement in some areas.

The hotel felt like a maze to navigate to the rooms, but once there, they were beautiful, clean, and fresh. The size was decent, and they provided a comfortable stay. The service was friendly and helpful, with a responsive and accommodating staff. Despite being located in a spot with many steps, the hotel had a perfect location near the Vecchio Bridge in Florence. The dining experience, although chaotic due to the layout, offered exceptional options. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything we needed during our stay.

The hotel rooms were spacious and very comfortable, offering a peaceful garden view that made it easy to forget the bustling city surroundings. However, it was a bit warm due to the non-functioning AC system. The service was exceptional with a helpful and accommodating staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location was fantastic, right next to Ponte Vecchio and within walking distance of major attractions. The dining experience was a mix of overpriced options and delicious dishes, though the noise levels were a bit high. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor room temperature issues.
