I've stayed at a lot of hotels, and am in love with this one. It's a beautiful palace, which made it one of the more unique hotel stays we've ever had. The breakfast room was beautiful, as was the view from there. And the staff were all so kind and amenable. Highly recommend this place!
This historic property was lovely. The staff, in particular Anastasia, were amazing. Very easy walks to Uffizi, Bargello, Duomo, Oltrarno and many other beautiful sights. We would stay here again!
