My stay at the hotel was delightful. The proprietors were an adorable couple, endlessly charming, and ever so helpful. They made dinner reservations for us in Italian, gave directions, handed us our keys, and fed us exquisite breakfasts. The rooms, though a bit boring, were very comfortable and spacious, furnished with all the necessities. The shower stalls were small, but the room had a cozy setup with a desk, chair, flat screen TV, mini bar, safe, and nightstands.

I was lucky to find such a place through Trip Advisor. The hotel has clean and spacious rooms above the usual 3-star standard, but some rooms can be noisy in the mornings. The service was brilliant and the staff took so much pride in their work. The location is fantastic for exploring Firenze on foot, being just around the corner from the Accademia and a short walk to the Duomo. The dining experience was somewhat limited but had enough to get you started for the day.
