Great location, very close to the train station and main attractions including the Duomo, all within easy walking distance. The reception was extremely warm, friendly, and helpful—she even gave the kids Christmas lollies. We were able to leave our luggage after check-out, and when we came back to collect it, she had left some delicious chocolates for us.
The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, and we enjoyed having a balcony overlooking a garden with banana plants. Roof was painted like classical Italian style which was unique. House keeping was done despite we only stayed for two nights.
The building itself is a bit old, and the ground floor is slightly messy, but it appears to be a shared building. Overall, a very pleasant stay.
Great little hotel find near SMN train station
Old bldg near the Santa Maria novella train station. Very walkable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms inside the old bldg were nice and updated. Bathroom was large , shower water pressure was great. The hotel has tea and biscuits and a bottle of wine as well as a refrigerator. I would definitely stay there again anytime I visit Florence.
This is a quaint boutique hotel located in the Santa Maria Novella area. Our room and bathroom were both spacious and well appointed. The building is very secure, but the technology they use allows guests the freedom to come and go with ease. What really makes this hotel special is the hospitality of the owners. They offer tips for making the most of your time there, and we found their assessment of the restaurants nearby to be spot-on. They called and got us a reservation at a fantastic restaurant for our last night in Florence. We were especially appreciative of their help as we saw others turned away at the door. This is my new favorite hotel in Florence.
