“This hotel, a true find, places guests steps from the Ponte Vecchio and key sights; inside, expect spacious, recently updated rooms, some overlooking the Arno. Breakfast earns high marks, but the dedicated service, especially from Andrea and Monti, truly stands out. It's a place I'd happily return to in Florence.”
