Pros

Located in an elegant 19th-century palace building

Walking distance to major attractions including Ponte Vecchio (0.5 miles) and Pitti Palace (1 mile)

Continental breakfast buffet with homemade items

Soundproofed windows in all rooms

“Hotel Galileo, set in a 19th-century palace, has a certain historical charm. I think its central location, near the Florence train station and within walking distance of major attractions, makes it a reasonable base for exploring. While some may find the rooms small and the soundproofing inadequate, the Tuscan decor and personalized service add appeal.”
