“Nestled away from the bustling city center, this feels like a genuine Florentine experience, providing both walking access to the city and the nearby hills. I found the building to be well maintained with a classic décor and spacious rooms, plus beautifully maintained gardens and an outdoor pool. A true respite, this is where you can recharge after immersing yourself in Tuscan culture.”
