We stayed here for our 25th wedding anniversary and booked a "standard double room" through airmiles. On arrival we were allocated a room with terrace overlooking the Arno, which was a lovely surprise. The hotel decor was quite dated and our room was a little shabby although spotlessly clean; we stayed for 4 nights and the bed linen was changed... more

We stayed in the Principe for one night and were very impressed. It's ideally located close to the city centre and also overlooking the river. It also has car parking, which is a big plus. The owners were incredibly welcoming and friendly. We were offered the choice of two rooms, which we were shown. What other hotels would do this?... more

I have just returned from 15 days in Florence and Tuscany. I stayed at the Hotel Principe for 8 nights. This was my second time at the Principe and I highly recommend it. It is ideally located, includes beautiful views of the Arno and is surrounded by a wonderful walled garden. Most importantly, this family run establishment welcomes you into... more

This is the most magnificent hotel-villa along the Arno to stay in Florence! The owners will welcome you like family and treat you as royalty. You will love the room, gardens, location ... Don't miss this jewel!! The owners are a family and they are willing to share all the history of the villa which dates from1850 and was built... more

We were booked into the Hotel Principe by Airmiles and were so glad that they made this booking for us. Our total stay in Florence was 10 days so it gave us a good opportunity to judge the hotel. Firstly it was really good to stay in a small hotel owned by an Italian family rather than a large international... more

We have just returned from our trip to Italy, and staying at the Hotel Principe made our visit to Florence a superior experience. Every staff member we encountered went out of their way to help. When asked tourist type questions, they not only gave the answer, but also provided similar options and services. Again, the staff is 5 star. Staying... more

After spotting this lovely hotel on a previous trip to Florence, we decided we had to stay at Principe the next trip. It's just wonderful. It's right on the Arno, but away from the Ponte Vecchio, so it's a quieter neighborhood. You can still walk practically everywhere if you are there to see the museums, etc. The staff is attentive... more

Stayed here with my boyfriend for 2 nights. Amazing location, easy walk to the city centre, great view on the river, easy to get to from the main train station. It is a family run hotel and the owners are so friendly and helpful. They recommended a great pizza place a few streets away which was delicious! Big rooms, nice... more

My wife and I stayed in Florence for about 10 days (in two chunks) during our 3 weeks in Italy. This hotel was the best. Great room with a view of the river (beautiful at night), great breakfast, good value, clean, and so on. The hotel is family run and has a "classic Italy" feel - warm and friendly. But... more
