I stayed here May 2013 for 4 nights and it was the best hotel we've been to in Italy. The location is perfect, right next to the Ponte Vecchio bridge. The roof top terrace is a perfect 360 degree view of the entire city of Florence. On our first night we had dinner on the terrace, the food and atmosphere... More

Lovely Tuscan hotel a few minutes from Pallazzo Pitti and Ponte Vechio. Good size room with large modern bathroom and extra large bed. The terrace is wonderful with the most amazing views over the city and Boboli gardens. Only downside was that our room faced onto the main street (three floors up) and unless the secondary glazing was closed it... More

Wow, there is NOTHING like sipping your cappuccino, or downing your espresso on the roof terrace of La Scaletta taking in the 360 degree view from Boboli Gardens to the Duomo ! Our room was beautiful, comfortable, clean and had two LARGE windows that opened up onto a view of rooftops and beyond to Boboli Gardens. The natural light in... More

The entire experience was wonderful.. The rooms were large and the beds comfortable. We liked the that the hotel was not like every other. The breakfast was delicious, and the hotel dining was an experience in itself. We highly recommend dining on the very top for the beautiful views and good food and wine.The staff is efficient and accommading.

Very nice hotel, good rooms! 93 steps but there is an small elevator. good breakfast espsescially when you have it in the roofterras. The location is perfect, in 100 meters to the "ponte vechio" and the rest is very close nearby. one point to improve is the wifi connection in the rooms and reception. outside on the roofterras it's good....

We stayed here last August and it was truly wonderful! Scaletta means steps in Italian and there are lots of them in this old building leading you to all its nooks and crannies and adding to its charm (There is a lift as well). We booked a triple room and it was lovely – there was a very large bedroom... More

The location of this hotel couldn't be better. It is on the far side of the Ponte Veccio but it takes one minute to walk to it and cross to the center. I really enjoyed being on that side of the river, as it was far less touristy and very, very beautiful. Just behind the hotel by a few blocks... More

We knew Hotel Scaletta was centrally located but had no idea how ideally located it is, one block one way is Ponte Vecchia and one block the other the Medici Summer Palace or Petit Palace. Great restaurants, museums, and the market all no more than a 10-15 minute walk. The hotel is nice, not fancy. Feels very authentic. The rooms... More

Hotel la Scaletta is located near the Ponte Vechio, so in the middle of the centre. It has a very authentic atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and helped us with good restaurants and trips outside Florence. Bathroom was a bit small.
