Pros

Rooms feature private entrances and soundproofed walls

Multiple dining options within 0.3 miles, including Caffe Gilli, Panini Toscani, and GROM gelato

Tour and ticket assistance available for exploring Renaissance art sites

Views over Florence's historic rooftops from select rooms

Cons

Some rooms require climbing stairs

Peretola Airport is 6 miles from the property

“The location, in a 14th-century building, is obviously superb, steps from the Florence Cathedral. Rooms offer appealing views, but some may find the decor a touch inconsistent. It's a comfortable base for exploring the city's art scene, though be aware that some past visitors have noted occasional noise.”
