Spacious Family Suites

“I stayed in a duplex family suite, which was ideal for our group. The downstairs bedroom offered a view over the Piazza from a lovely small balcony, while the upstairs had an additional bathroom and twin room. It easily accommodated my family with teens, and although it wasn't the beautiful version, we enjoyed the overall layout and comfort of the accommodations.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast Variety

“Breakfast was a highlight of my stay! Served in a separate room, it included a wide range of options. I particularly enjoyed the fresh selections that catered to various tastes, ensuring each day started off perfectly. The chance to add extras for a small charge was a nice touch, but honestly, the offerings were already more than sufficient for my needs.” view full review

Modern Amenities

“My room featured a contemporary bathroom that was quite spacious. I loved the large walk-in shower, which was a welcome retreat after long days of exploring. Everything felt newly appointed, which really added to the overall comfort of my lodging experience.” view full review

Fine Rooftop Pool

“The rooftop pool was a fantastic highlight of my stay. Although the water was a bit cold, the views over Florence were absolutely amazing. This rooftop area served as a perfect spot to unwind after a day of sightseeing, and it made for some truly nice moments soaking up the fine panoramas.” view full review
