I and two friends stayed four nights and had an awesome experience. The staff was amazing, the location was perfect, and the breakfast was great. This was my favorite hotel during my stay in Europe. more

My wife picked the La Scaletta after looking over all kinds of hotels on the internet. Turns out it was my favorite hotel during our trip through Europe this year. I really liked to relax on the top deck above the hotel. It has a great view. The room was rather plain but very comfortable and large. The staff was... more

My husband and I stayed here for two nights in June. We chose the hotel after reading the reviews on this site, so basically knew what to expect. That said, we still couldn't find the place!!! Once you do find it don't be put of by the appearance of the stairwell that you have to climb in order to reach... more

My husband and I just returned from a four-night stay at the Hotel La Scaletta, and we loved this hotel. It's located a couple blocks from Ponte Vecchio and just a block from Pitti Palace; all of the major sights are within walking distance. One thing we noticed on our stay is that most places in Italy aren't wheelchair friendly.... more

My sisters and I have just returned from a four day visit to Florence. Having searched the internet for a reasonably priced, well located hotel we decided upon La Scaletta. For exploring Florence, we could not have chosen better! Situated only a few footsteps away from the Ponte Vecchio and Pitti Palace in a quieter area of the city, the... more

When I booked there was only 1 room left with the "high window". Basically, you can't look out from it but you can still get light in. It was fine as we don't generally spend much time in our room anyway. The room was clean and really quiet. Only problem was our double bed was really 2 singles so you... more

We accidentally ended up at this hotel, after the one we had originally booked turned out to be a dump. Thank goodness we had a guide book on Florence, found this hotel under the recommendations, and called them to make reservations for that same day. Though the location was extremely convenient, literally seconds away from Ponte Vecchio, finding it was... more

We really liked this place! It has charm and character, with interesting old furniture and lovely old terracotta tiled floors. Ask for a room at the back, facing the Boboli gardens for " A room with a view". It's true that fresh italian coffee at breakfast would be an improvement, ( see an earlier review) but eating breakfast out on... more

What a great little hotel (pensione) in a fantastic location. Our room was huge and you could hold a party in the bathroom there was that much space. The view off the top of the hotel was aweome and it was really only a 2 minute walk to Ponte Vecchio and another 2 minutes to the Uffizi. The staff were... more
