In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Outstanding location in the Oltrarno — On Piazza Santo Spirito, across from the Basilica di Santo Spirito, with Ponte Vecchio and the Pitti Palace within an easy walk. The Uffizi is a 17-minute stroll away.
  • Rooftop terrace with city views — A recurring highlight in guest reviews, perfect for a drink at the end of the day.
  • Pet-friendly with dedicated amenities — Pets are allowed and the hotel provides pet amenities, making it a rare choice for travellers with dogs.
  • Private and valet parking on site — In a historic centre where parking is famously scarce, the hotel offers private parking and valet service.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Entrance and first impression can be off-putting — One guest described the ground level as 'foreboding' before reaching reception. The real character reveals itself once you're inside.
  • Some rooms may lack balconies — Only the Deluxe Double Room Balcony is listed with a balcony; other room types, including the Family Room, do not feature one.
  • Coffee at breakfast disappoints — One guest praised the breakfast but noted the coffee could be better.
  • Finding the hotel can be tricky — The entrance may not be obvious, especially on first arrival, and the surrounding area can be busy.

“This hotel suits me down to the ground. On my first stay, the staff helped me recover lost documents, which I'll never forget. Make sure you spend time on the terrace – it's perfect for unwinding.”

“You can't beat the location for exploring Florence. We loved walking over Ponte Vecchio and visiting the nearby Pitti Palace with our dog – the hotel is very pet-friendly. The terrace views are lovely, and the antique decor gave the whole stay a special charm.”
