I loved everything about this hotel. It just oozed history and charm. From the moment we arrived my partner and I were drawn in by its high ceilings and our room (a few floors up) had breathtaking city views. The room itself was beautifully decorated in Florentin style with dark polished woodwork and large windows that open out onto the street below. Our room had stain glass windows, wooden furniture, and the type of decor that can be described as having “old world charm”.
Breakfasts were excellent and doing so whilst overlooking the Duomo and panorama of Florence was an experience out of this world. What an inspiring way to start each day!
