“Its location on a pedestrian-only street places guests within easy reach of the Duomo and Accademia Gallery; the friendly staff contributes to the welcoming atmosphere. Rooms might be compact, but this is a good trade-off for experiencing Florence from a historic building. A solid choice for travellers prioritizing location and value.”
