I was pleasantly surprised to find the Classic Hotel offered free, secure gated parking right across from the Boboli Gardens, just outside the Romano Gate--about a 15 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio and into the heart of centro Firenze! The Hotel itself could use some updating as it was "50s decor" in an 1800 building, but the staff and... More

I spent few nights in the Hotel (for business) and I had a very BAD experience. While I was in the bathroom, the cleaning lady entered in the room and went towards my trousers. I heard some noise so I looked towards my room just on time to see her taking my wallet. I jumped over her and stopped her.... More

Good clean hotel in a quiet area near the Romano Gate and Boboli Gardens. The staff were very friendly and helpful and we has tea served in the lovely gardens at the rear. Good value for money. Tip. If you are over 65 the Boboli gardens are free ( save 10 euros per person) and a very pleasant way to... More

Hotel near arcetri just outside porta romana. Nice position. The hotel has a nice garden. Parking available inside. OldFashioned rooms. Breakfast could be improved.

For 10 years we have enjoyed the Classic Hotel in Florence as our home away from home. The rooms are large, with approximately 20 ft. ceilings (I believe it once was a very large private residence), the location is quiet and convenient to the center of Florence. A 15-20 minute walk will get you to the Duomo. If you choose... More

I like to travel without reservations, creates a more adventurous flexible mood to traveling. I discovered this Villa/Hotel just across the street from the Boblio Gardens on the Internet. It sits in a quiet residential neighborhood walking distance to the Duomo and most of the Florence attractions. I purchased a two day tour bus pass because the bus stops one... More

This was a nice place to stay. As you arrive driving up a beautiful tree lined street. The gardens out back are peaceful to have a morning cup of coffee or to check your email with the free WiFi.

Very friendly staff, great hotel. Unfortunately they could not extend my stay for one more night as they were completely booked....I moved to the Kraft Hotel where my computer was stolen...go figure! The Classic Hotel is in agreat location and they have PARKING! Will stay there again in the future.
