“This family-run establishment struck me as a particularly welcoming base for exploring Florence; its location a genuine highlight, placing you steps away from major attractions. I was also impressed with the rooms that are designed with a nod to classic Italian style. Breakfast receives good remarks, setting a positive tone for the day ahead.”
