“The hotel's location, practically next door to Firenze's main train station, makes it an obvious choice. I appreciate that it's set inside a former 14th-century convent, balancing convenience with a sense of Florentine history; plus, a seasonal rooftop bar adds real value. From what I gather, the personalized service aims to make you feel at home, which is always a plus.”

a romantic italian escape

comfortable bedbalcony viewcentral location
the hotel's location proved convenient. it sat near the train station. many restaurants surround the area. i enjoyed the short walk to most tourist spots. the superior single room featured a very comfortable bed. a balcony offered a duomo view. the roof garden has friendly staff and excellent views. i enjoyed the calming atmosphere.
The walls felt a little thin. I could hear neighbors.

Convenient Stay Near the Train Station

convenient locationfresh fruitfaulty air conditioning
The location proved very convenient near the main train station. I easily walked to many attractions and found restaurants nearby (a lot to choose from). The breakfast was plentiful and I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and pastries.
The air conditioning did not work well in my room. It made sleeping comfortably difficult due to the heat.
