“Here's my take: this hotel occupies a 19th-century building in central Florence, an appealing combination of history and location. I see some rooms are small, and there are occasional maintenance issues reported. However, its Tuscan decor and family-friendly offerings, including accommodations for larger groups, might make it a good choice for some despite any shortcomings.”
