“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.”
