Our daughter sent a year in Florence , however we did not know this hotel then. First of all we have stayed at the Lungarno, many times and Villa Massa....but ths hotel surpasses them all. We loved the location , easy to walk everywhere. It is in an area up and coming...perfectly safe! All suites, our 2 rooms and bath were sumptuous. Breakfasts were served either in the room or a breakfast room.A huge selection of food, all fresh and delicious . The staff was terrific. It was just simply wonderful. Priced well, service great location superb.....what more could you ask for. We cannot wait to go back next year.

We booked Palazzo Magnani Feroni for my partner's birthday and it more than lived up to our expectations. Florence is historic, beautiful and spellbinding, and the Magnani Feroni fits perfectly into this backdrop. It is tucked away in a quiet backstreet on Oltrano. The main sights of Florence are a short walk away and there are any number of traditional shops and restaurants on its doorstep. Staff could not have been more attentive and the service was first rate. Lorenzo the Magnificent would have felt at home. I would recommend the Palazzo to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in this most beautiful of cities.

Excellent service. Discreet but yet attentive. Rooms were huge and I had the Guiseppe Suite which is two bedrooms with a large living area. Breakfast was sumptious and what a delight for us return to the hotel after a day in Florence. Hot tea and Nespresso awaitng in the lounge for us.

Health warning: this will spoil you for all other hotels in Florence.
The location is perfect for sightseeing and exploring on foot the small cobbled streets of Oltrarno with its plethora of small shops and restaurants, as well as palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens, the Ponte Vecchio area, the Duomo and all the other museums in the historical centre. The hotel can help with booking tickets ahead so you avoid the queues - but this can also be done online.
The building itself, in the owner's family for over 250 years, was sympathically restored and opened in 2002 as a suites only hotel retaining many original architectural features but without sacrificing any comfort. For example the vaulted ceilings are dizzyingly high but the rooms are warm in winter.
The suites are all enormous and elegantly furnished but so comfortably you instantly feel at home, with amenities such as TVs and DVD players, minibar, a safe, Bulgari toiletries, a free guide and map to Florence and lots of information in the folder given on arrival. A word of caution: the bottled of wine enticingly placed on a side table and labeled "for your tasting enjoyment" actually costs EUR44, although the charge only becomes apparent upon checkout.
The hotel has many lounging areas, a billiard room, a magnificent breakfast room decorated with antique family portraits. The roof terrace offers spendid views of Florence.
Coffee and tea are available free of charge throughout the day and there's free coffee and cake in the afternoon - we weren't around to try it but think it's a lovely touch.
Breakfast is a huge buffet with sweet and savoury offerings plus you can order eggs cooked to your taste. It can also be served in your suite for a EUR15 supplement but it would be a shame to missout on the beautiful room.
The staff almost all speak English and are extremely courteous and helpful. They kept our luggage after we checked out, lent us umbrellas, booked us a taxi to the station and would have done much more had we asked.
After my second stay there I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's very expensive but check out their special offers on their web site for some real bargains given the quality of accommodation and service.
