“Florence House makes a strong case for boutique done right, beginning with its lovingly restored Edwardian bones. It's a proper escape near Southsea Beach, enhanced by distinct dining-including a coveted outdoor woodfire grill. I especially like that you're a short walk from the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, but feel miles away.”
