Pros +
- Friendly staff, wonderful breakfast straight to your room. Cute, quirky layout. Close proximity to train station and City center
- Very quiet room on the back side of the hotel. Super friendly, English speaking staff. Loved the large window and the light coming I to the room. Very comfortable bed that felt kind of like a tempurpedic foam top bed. WIFI connection was good.
- Well maintained and furnished, very clean. Tasteful decor. Terrific location near SMN train station and Unità T2 tram station to the airport. Good concierge services. We left too early to have the breakfast (included in our room).
Cons -
- None, however pictures were not similar to that on the website
- Too many keys needed to get into the building and room. 1 for outside door. 1 for the 2nd metal door. 1 for the upstairs door to reception. 1 for the room. Would also be nice if there was a place to take breakfast outside of the room instead of in room.
- The bathroom was half of the room and very warm. It was great for bathing in the huge claw foot tub but we had trouble getting the bedroom to be cool enough for sleeping. Finally opened a window and closed the sliding doors to the bathroom area.

breakfast is brought to you in your room, location is fabulous, Two blocks from the station. Two blocks to Santa Maria Novella. Walking distance to the Duomo. Three blocks max to the tram.
I ended up paying extra for breakfast foods that were not clerly labelled as such.
Beautiful room, friendly staff, great location, breakfast in bed was amazing!
It’s a private boutique house hotel, no main communal rooms but that was the appeal.
It’s individuality, rooms are all different, it feels historical yet contemporary. Great taste levels.
I loved this property. I have no words to thank the staff, all were so welcoming and helpful, adorable really. I loved that the plants were clearly happy and taken care off. The place is so clean and silent. Perfect.
I don’t have negative points. If I could improve something it would be to ensure that the room gets completely dark at night. That and silence are needed to ensure a good sleep. My room had some spots where light was coming too much (under the entrance door, around the window stores, I had to use a mask in my face to be in the dark.
It is decorated with great taste, amazing linens and, of course, breakfasts - on a huge silver tray, the best quality breakfast is brought to your room - coffee, cheese with truffle, homemade jams, croissants.
Beautifully designed, spacious room and bathroom with very comfortable bedding, excellent storage, and thoughtful details throughout. The concierge communication was outstanding, the location is perfect for both the train station and Florence’s historic sights, and the overall experience felt personal and refined.
Absolutely Nothing.
Location excelente specially if you travel by train.
No breakfast or service before 7:30. We left at 7:30 and in spite of having paid breakfast no service was provided. Not even offered a minimal take away breakfast.
the room was very large ( I think it was a suite ) , well decorated and overall very confortable.The man in charge , Antonio , very helpful.The breakfast brought to room was excellent .
Its really a " rezidencia ' not an hotel which means there are no public areas , restaurant ,checking in counter or anything of the sort .The first approach is not good .You have to climb a few stairs carrying your luggage ( nobody to give you a hand ) and then into a small closet converted into an elevator .The room that opens into the entrance is beatiful but can be noisy .
Beautiful room, friendly staff, great location!
It is a little quiet oasis in a very central location. Only a few minutes walking to the train station and very close to the historic city centre. Attentive staff and quirky yet lovely rooms. Very comfortable.
Since breakfast is served in the room it would be good if there was a small breakfast table for two provided
The room is very nice and the location is very good. One staff gave us a bad resturant toP to eat. The room decrocated really cool. Breakfast in the room was ausome, I only wish they had safe deposit box, sleepers, face towels, and bathrobes. Other than that - perfect. Thank y. E

Great location just 15 minutes from all the main attractions.Lovely building. Nice room. Great breakfast delivered to your roomAmazing staff
Our room had a bath with a handheld shower head. Would have liked a proper shower even if over the bath
Easy to get to from train station, unique decorations, great breakfast service, good room amenities
Pillows were not comfortable
loved the breakfast served in the room. Staff was amazing and provided all the information we requested even dinner reservations, Location to train and the old town was perfect.
The one small thing I would change is the couch in the camel room was very uncomfortable and hard to sit on, (small thing)
An absolute charming hotel. The room was stocked with water, coffee and toiletries. The room we stayed in was done in a classic style. The concierge most helpful. Parking was available on the next street in an indoor garage. Perfect
Convenient location between train station and city centre. Really lovely luxe feeling hotel with kind and helpful staff. Breakfast was also great.
