Perfect location overlooking the Arno River. Steps to the Uffizi Gallery, the Palazzo Vecchio and the Piazza della Signoria; an easy 10 minute walk to the Duomo and a few more to the Accademia Gallery (home of Michelangelo's David). Shops and restaurants close by. We enjoyed two great dinners within walking distance: Coquinarius near the Duomo and Trattoria Antico Fattore just a couple of minutes from the hotel.
Our room, on the 1st floor, had an amazing view of the Ponte Vecchio. It was nicely decorated with a fully equipped bathroom (bathroom is tight, but fine for one person at a time). To be able to sit on your bed and see the Ponte Vecchio is well worth a smaller bathroom in my opinion! We closed our windows to sleep and had no issues with noise.
Beautiful rooftop terrace with views of both the Arno and the Palazzo Vecchio--perfect for picture taking day or night. Lovely sitting room/lounge on the 5th floor for drinks or relaxing as well.
Breakfast offered a nice variety and the service was excellent. Sunny and well appointed breakfast room with, again, beautiful views.
Check-in was easy and our bags were delivered to our room. We also had an easy check-out and the staff arranged a taxi to take us to the airport without hesitation.
Would love to return on our next trip to Florence.
