I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, which offered clean, comfortable rooms with a unique touch of original paintings. The lack of an elevator to reach higher floors was a minor inconvenience, but the spacious layout and lovely balcony made up for it. The service was exceptional, with knowledgeable staff who made my time in Florence even more enjoyable. The location was convenient, within walking distance of both the city center and the peaceful Arno River. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering a varied selection but lacking a bit of flair. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay in Florence.

My stay at the hotel was like traveling through different eras of Europe, from old charm to mid-century modern to hip contemporary art-loving vibes. The corner room #15 with its high ceilings and windows overlooking the Arno river was extremely charming. The service reflected the genuine passion for art history and kindness of the family that runs the establishment. The location, just minutes from the train station and a pleasant walk along the Arno river to the center of town, was excellent. The dining experience offered a variety of delicious European pastries and vegetarian dishes. Overall, I felt immersed in a unique blend of historical ambiance and artistic flair at this hotel.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms in the Frida room were very clean and spacious, but the location up dark winding stairs might not suit everyone. The service, especially from Sara, our host, was genuinely nice and friendly. The hotel's proximity to the train station and the Duomo was ideal, making it a convenient choice for exploring Florence. The dining experience was simple but sufficient for a morning meal. Overall, a charming stay with some minor drawbacks.
