“Don't let the initial impression fool you; this family-run hotel, accessible by lift, holds a delightful secret. Inside, you'll find impeccably clean rooms, and some even boast Duomo views, all within easy reach of the leather market, Mercato Centrale, and Accademia. It's a surprisingly convenient and welcoming base for exploring Florence.”
