Ok first just take a taxi, don't try to drive. We've driven around Europe before but Florence is a nightmare esp trying to get to the hotel. If you must, the hotel is great in having a driver to park your car and retrieve it when you need to leave. Food was good, room was great.

This hotel was historical and a perfect place to stay for our two days in Firenze. The location is very central and within easy walking distance to many amenities. The staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was good and the products fresh. The view from the rooftop was fantastic and the hotel itself felt like stepping back in time.

What a property, what a hotel. We fell in love, beautiful, historic castle, with a tower bar offering outstanding views of Florence and providing unforgettable sunsets. The breakfast was outstanding, excellent and helpful service. The best cappuccino. Comfortable room, canopy bed, huge windows, quiet and safe. We will return, we loved the hotel.

The lighting is horrible, we need a flashlight to chart our map of the city. The refrigerator does not work at all and the receptionist wanted me to bring my self purchased food and beverages to a locked room with a small refrigerator on the main floor rather than switching the working one with the malfunctioning one in our room. The bathroom door is absolutely filthy with dirt all over it. The toilet doesn't flush until you've used all your strength on the third push of the flushing mechanism. The shower walls are covered in tiny hairs. The wifi barely works.

We were in room 204. This is important because that room should not be rented to anyone until they fix the electrical system and air conditioner. The hotel needs MUCH better management. When we reported the day that we checked in that he outlets were not working( that means no ability to charge one’s phone or watch, no bedside table lights) and no air conditioning with the temperature in August in the mid 90 degree range, the staff was non responsive. We were stuck. The next morning we spoke to the front desk person who said someone would come to fix it. We were out for a full day sightseeing. Upon return, some outlets working but an A/C still not working. The man at the desk had no idea that there was a problem and did not care. I reported to expedia, and finally the man at the front desk took a break from the video game he was playing to read a message on the computer to give us another room. So, we changed our room at 10 pm after hours of arguing for our second and final night. That room was fine. The hotel is in a great location, has a lovely breakfast and would be good if properly managed. That the staff was so unresponsive and uncaring was shocking. And no, they did not credit us back any money for the awful first night. We also wasted many hours trying to remedy the awful situation- time lost on our vacation. So, bottom line, if you have a room in good condition, it would be great. Looking back at other reviews, others have had the same problem.

We stayed here for 3 nights in August 2024. Firstly, the rooms were spacious, extremely clean and had a beautiful traditional vibe which is perfectly fitting for a city with rich history like Florence. The air conditioning was great along with the delicious breakfast (courtesy of Vivian!). A stones throw from every major attraction and literally 1 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio. The front desk staff were amazing and helped us for stuff such as booking taxis, calling restaurants for reservations and recommendations for authentic places to eat! Cannot recommend this place enough (just wait till you see the view from the tower you will be speechless…)

Room Needs a Refresh
Let's start with the pros and cons: Pro: Location, close to everything we wanted to see and do but away from the hustle, bustle, and noice of the city. Staff, everyone we interacted with was very helpful, professional, and went out of their way to ensure we had what we needed. Special call out to Vivian in the Breakfast Room; she is truly proud of the experience she has creates, it is outstanding, and was the highlight of our stay. It is Clean. The Tower Room; great to visit a different times of the day; Early Morning, Sunset, and night to see the city in different light. Great photo op and a relaxing space. Con: Our "Superior" room did not live up to it's name. Pealing Paint in the bathroom. Worn Linen, thread bare and even some holes. Weak Wi-fi - Yes I understand this is a stone building and signal can be spotty, strength was always strong but it went out at the same time each night we were there. Mattress was lumpy and the creaky, time to replace. So given the good and the bad this is a Solid 3 star hotel that wants to be a 4 and could with some effort. I wouldn't rule out a stay here again, given the pro list. However, the con list should be noted.
