Guest Reviews
- ROBERTA (10/5): -
- Graziella (10/5): - Fantastico tutto
- Eduard (10/5): Realy nice representative hotel for Florence in a very good location - Beautiful room in a very well-positioned location. Good soundproofing. Comfortable beds. Parking is available nearby, managed by the hotel through a 3rd-party garage. Nice, careful and ready to help staff. Definitely recommend!
- libia (4/5): Malo - Las habitaciones son muy amplias y limpias La entrada del hotel parece abandonado, si llegas despues de las 8:00pm no hay recepcionista y tienes que buscar tu como entrar a tu habitacion y la vdd es muy feo el trayecto de la puerta del hotel hasta la puerta de la habitacion
- JD (10/5): -
- Slavena (7/5): -
- Sabrina (8/5): - The location is fantastic. You are in Old Town, across the bridge where everything is at.
I loved the room, very spacious, comfortable bed and shower is amazing. I enjoyed every single shower I had!
The staff are very attentive, friendly and helpful.
I picked this hotel as I got a good Black Friday deal. I would stay again if there was another offer. A few things, this did not impact my stay. I would stay here again -
1. It is not clear when you arrive, you expect to see a hotel entrance (this is an apartment building).
2. No staff on the premises after 8pm. I did not need anyone, it wouldhave been an inconveniencehaving to call a number.
3. No omplimentary water in the room.
4. Safety deposit bix is tiny (I ended up using my rucksack, locked it).
5. lift is very small, tight and I nicknamed a coffin.
- Mikhail (9/5): -
- Meshari (10/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): Gorgeous interiors, wonderful city views, near everything, priced well for the suite we had. - The room decor was beautiful, the bed was comfortable and the building was easy to locate. Wonderful staff and great breakfast, too!
- Stefan (7/5): -
- taha (10/5): Fantastique séjour - Décoration et espace incroyable
Le personnel était aux petits soins
La bâtisse est un immeuble historique et nous avons eu droit à une hauteur sous plafond exceptionnelle
- Gerd Ralf (9/5): Die schönste Seite von Florenz - Ein geschichtsträchtiger Ort in einer der schönsten Gegenden von Florenz. Phantastische Lage und dennoch ruhig. Atmosphäre und Stimmung waren wundervoll. TV (den wir nicht brauchten) war einfach nicht zu bedienen
- Henri (10/5): - une véritable merveille il n’y a rien qui clochait, c’était vraiment exceptionnel
- Percy 62200 (9/5): - Perfecte locatie in een pand met een bijzondere geschiedenis. De luxueuze suite had alle mogelijke voorzieningen. Het personeel was erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk.
- Vladimir (9/5): -
- Gemma (9/5): Beautiful suite, exceptionally comfortable, and a rich history, what’s not to love - Beautiful, quiet, stylish, friendly staff. Loved the little touches, slippers, complementary water. Such a rich history to the palazzo. Would highly recommend. Very little I can fault, however if pushed to find something, I would say there was no view to the outside just some service pipes and very little natural daylight
- concetta (8/5): Residenza storica, ma arredi troppo contemporanei in contrasto con l'antichità del luogo - La posizione e la struttura rinascimentale del palazzo La suite non era luminosa, le dimensioni non erano quelle descritte, in realtà inferiori
- Lily (8/5): Would stay here again - The room was much bigger than expected. Staff were very accommodating, and made the parking super easy for us. Short walk to the centre of Florence
- John (9/5): Great room. Small gripes. - Room is fantastic. Huge 20 foot ceilings, fashionable decor, lots of space. Staff was friendly and helpful. I hated that I had to pay the city tax in cash, and we had to try a second time as they didn’t have enough change to let us pay on aero. Bed was a little hard. Only one key, which meant one person could not stay while the other left if you wanted the lights on. Minor gripes: Like many of these apartment based hotels there is not a dedicated front desk that is always staffed. There is a phone number you can call but that seems a little harder. Someone was at the desk during the day though.
- Michel (8/5): - Le cadre et l’emplacement. L’accueil Scindé en deux établissements. Abords vieillots
- NATHALIE (5/5): Ce n’est pas un hôtel mais un loueur de chambres, certes belles mais aucune infrastructures hôtelières (salon, bar…). Pe - La chambre était belle Aucun service hôtelier ni service en chambre.
- Rachel (4/5): We were disappointed with the atmosphere and the unappealing decor which were not at all like the online photos. Price i - Location is very convenient. Staff are attentive and uniformly pleasant and helpful. Drab, virtually no natural light anywhere
- Lucy (10/5): -
- Marius (9/5): - Huge room and great location Nothing

- Valeriy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (8/5): Very good -
- Sophie (9/5): Superb -
- Louis (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing room with super friendly staff, I've forgotten the young ladies name but she was an absolute gem. She gave us tips on what to do at our time of arrival and went through what we should visit during our stay. WiFi at night was weirdly flaky, but was fine in the morning not completely sure what happened.
- Jesus (10/5): Exceptional - Excelent place, clean and comfy, very well located
- Naomi (10/5): Wonderful location and incredible space. - The building has such an incredible history. Staff were lovely and our room was beautiful. The location is perfect. Close to everything!
- Ricardo (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing historic room with very nice comodities. The location is 2 minutes to Vechio bridge with lot´s of places to know nearby. A very special thanks to the amazing recepcion , super nice, friendly , with a big smile provided all the information and suggested some amazing places also . Many thanks for caring :) Nothing, everything was very good. Perhaps a bigger TV even though is not in fact necessary :)
- Waylon (10/5): Exceptional - From the moment we arrived the service was exceptional. The front of house staff (we met 3 different ladies on 3 different shifts) who were always so well informed, well spoken and knew exactly where to send us for dinner or lunches. It was a wonderful stay in the best of the city (Santo Spirito) and wow what a room! The location was incredible too. Just a short walk and you are at the river and a short walk from the Uffizi Gallery We couldn't fault anything.
- Lee (10/5): EXCELLENT APARTMENT - FIRST CLASS STAFF, SERVICE, ROOM FIT FOR A KING, LUXURY MATRESS, CENTAL LOCATION, VERY QUIET ROOM. 10 ALL ROUND !
- Maria (5/5): Will not stay again - Just a side of the room Everything could be better
- Almothanna (9/5): Good. - The history of the hotel.
- Ralph (10/5): Exceptional - Beautifully appointed very large suite.
Lovely touches including a fully decorated Christmas tree, and roll top bath.. Iron and ironing board in the room
Couldn't get the lift to work.
- Patricia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Claire (10/5): Claire - All excellent No free water
- Tania (10/5): Beautiful hotel in a wonderful central location - Beautiful building Liked everything
- Parzen (10/5): Beautiful, charming boutique hotel in fantastic location - gorgeous boutique hotel, beautiful rooms, small (only four rooms), helpful staff who were very helpful, soap/shampoo provided smelled amazing. fantastic location. these are nitpicky was we loved the hotel. bed was ok, but could have been more comfortable. The prestige suite didn't have any windows at eye level.
- Marc (8/5): Everything is trumped by the beauty of Florence. The location allowed - The room, quirky entrance, location and staff It wasn’t clear at the time of booking that this was less of a hotel and so had none of the facilities that a hotel would have. No bar, breakfast option, reception lounge area etc. Although this has its positive side too, I think some people might find it a little too isolated
- Carolyn (10/5): We would definitely stay here again. - The location was perfect for our visit in Florence. Staff was helpful and very pleasant. The room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable.
- Yun-wei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Malcolm (10/5): Fabulous bedroom in a boutique hotel - first floor of a palace - Fantastic location . Once you find it , hidden and then go to first floor and the bedroom, it’s a wow moment . Beautifully done
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gwen (10/5): Exceptional - location is exceptional, the story of Bianca Capello who lived in this palace intriguing and last but not least staff is very attentive to your needs and have been very helpful. Breakfast is yummy too! We had the executive Room which was big enough for our family but a tad dark
- Hussam (10/5): Charming, welcome and friendly staff, clean, spacious, historic building but with lift for convenience. - Charming, welcome and friendly staff, clean, spacious, historic building but with lift for convenience. Nothing
- Stefan (10/5): Beautiful - Very good location and beautiful room
- Jeff (9/5): Superb -
- Scott (9/5): Great location. Comfortable. Great staff. They were all very helpful and kind. - Great location away from the crowds but still close enough to everything. There are four suites co-located in a section of this building. Convenient if traveling with other couples. Beds are very comfortable. Probably the nicest we had during our stay in Italy. The suite we stayed in has only one window facing a courtyard. The building itself has other tenants and one has a very loud party into the night. Management allows us to sleep in the vacant suite across the hall - which was completely silent - and for that we are grateful. I’d be concerned about this suite if the others were all occupied. But a big thumbs up to management for their quick response at a late hour. I can’t recommend this particular suite but the others are very nice.
- Lauren (10/5): Exceptional -
- Patrick (8/5): Very good - The room had no view and barely a window
- Andre (10/5): Great place to stay, great service - Large spaces. Really high ceilings. A bit old looking, which is expected due to the style.
- Andre (10/5): Great hotel with a great service - Massive room
- Gabrielle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Melissa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wynne (10/5): Very nice. - The room was spacious and well appointed. The elevator.
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adamo (9/5): The staff were very helpful. They made great dinner suggestions and reservations for our requests. -
- Justin (10/5): Great place to stay in Florence - The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. The staff is very nice and helpful. The location is excellent.
- Callum (10/5): Stunning room in an excellent part of Florence -
- Edita (10/5): Exceptional -
- Oya (10/5): Excellent - Very pleasant stay, the history of the building is cery romantic.
- Alexandria (10/5): Exceptional - Very beautiful, comfortable room in an historic building. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good and the location is central.
- Βρωτσου (1/5): Bad - Untrustworthy, unhelpful and irresponsible customer service. I am extremely unsatisfied. I forgot my very expensive earrings in the room we had booked and, not even an hour after we left, i called the reception to inform them regarding the issue and ask them if they had been able to find them. They proceeded to tell me not only that they did not find them and but also that they cannot do anything about it. Unexpected and unacceptable behavior considering that the only person that is supposed to enter the room after we left was the charwoman.
- Guy (9/5): Fantastic location and lovely hotel - Location fantastic - short distance from all major attractions in the old city. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly - could not do enough!. Bed huge and comfortable. Breakfast tasty. Getting in was a little confusing. The hotel is split between two properties - one on second floor on one side of the road and the other first floor opposite. Make sure you call to say when you arrive!
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ayman (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible historical building with an amazing story behind it. Very nice decoration and vintage pieces of furniture that preserve the identity that of the place. Staff were so helpful and supportive and welcoming and the location is a waking distance of all the attractions
- Daryl (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ross (10/5): Excellent location within minutes of everything - Excellent location within 100m walk to the Arno River and 2 minutes further to the Ponte Vecchio. A quick stroll into town, with all the restaurants and shopping within minutes of the location.
Nice expansive room with a large shower/bathroom and plenty of room for a comfortable stay. Comfortable bedding.
Without parking available on site, the attendant from the garage was there to park your car within minutes and also retrieve the car within minutes. This was organised through the property prior to check in all was fine and nothing to complain about
- Nika (10/5): Excellent! -
- Taneli (10/5): Wonderful old palace - Lowely Royal Sweet in peaceful place near all, historic palace, wonderful kind and helpful atmosphere
- Vicki (10/5): The perfect minimoon location - Stunning room! Incredible location, couldn’t fault it! Nothing!
- Sukhwinder (10/5): Amazing! - The features and the environment, the people on hand were amazing and done everything they could to make it a special trip
- Anonymous (10/5): Beautiful room! It was clean and comfortable and highly recommend - We loved everything about it! The staff was so welcoming and helpful during our stay! No complaints!
- Ian (10/5): A Simply perfect stay - Everything. So glad I picked this hotel for a Honeymoon stay. The location is excellent only a stones throw away from the river and just far enough away to be less busy. So close to lovely restaurants and the staff were so helpful even booking us a restaurant on our first night as we didn’t arrive until 9pm. The room was simply wonderful! If we visit again we will definitely stay again! Absolutely nothing
- Stuart (10/5): We hope to be back for another visit. - Fantastic central location and amazing period building. We liked everything.
- Carolyn (7/5): Good -
- Melody (10/5): Beautiful historic hotel in wonderful location - Great location!
Was very close to city center, but far enough away from the tourists.
The staff was very friendly and helpful when we asked for recommendations.
The room was beautiful and comfortable. They keep the charm of the history but also modernized for current comfort.
I would stay again. I would recommend not driving a car. Parking was difficult even though the hotel was very accommodating in getting a valet to park the car. The street is very narrow and tricky to park in front.
- Laura (10/5): The hotel room was beautiful. It was close to everything was within walking distance that was comfortable. - It was beautiful Find the key across the street
- Whitney (8/5): Very good -
- Nickalas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nelly (9/5): Superb - The property was very nicely located close to center of Provence without being in the middle of the crowd. The rooms were clean, renovated and well maintained! There is a nice love story behind this historical building waiting for you to discover. Going through the building, the lift, stairs are all part of living the Provence experience. In addition we had an amazing hostess, Inga, she was the highlight of the stay. Her service level, sense of humor and attention to details were simply amazing!! Do not expect a big fancy hotel with a grandiose entrance. It is more of a private residence with a private butler service. Simply can’t find anything that I didn’t like about it.
- Ellen (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniela (9/5): Superb -
- Laura (8/5): Comfortable, spacious room and lovely staff. Private apartment-type feel. Would stay again. - The reception desk staff was lovely and super helpful. Breakfast was delicious. You do have to walk across the street to their other property for breakfast but it’s really a small cobblestone street and it’s no bother. The room was very large, very comfortable, and the AC was very strong. It’s in a great location for walking around the center of Florence. I didn’t realize it was going to be more of a bed and breakfast and not a full service hotel. But it turned out very nice because it felt like a cross between a hotel and a private apartment or Airbnb. The place is on the 2nd floor of a historic building and when you walk in there’s a reception desk, a few chairs / lobby and about 4 separate rooms. By the end of our stay I had really come to appreciate the privacy and the staff was extremely lovely.
- Iman (10/5): Exceptional -

- Duane (10/5): We will in a heart beat stay here again. - The rooms were great!!! Really liked the staff. Very courteous and super helpful. Waited on us hand and foot. Great location. We will be back. Shower head was leaking and the shower door was also.
