The hotel manager Alessio and his staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good, and the location was exceptional.
House keeping could be better.

We did not stay at hotel but at luxurious apartment 6 minutes away with small terrace with fantastic view. Rooms were large even exquisite. The staff at hotel where we had particularly friendly and helpful Italian style. Apartment was very close to Ponte VECCHIO between piazza del signoria and pitti palace. Extraordinary!
There were many steps to get to apartment even after the old fashioned elevator

The hotel has a friendly welcoming atmosphere and the staff are always very polite and friendly from your arrival to the departure a very beautiful ambiance as well. Breakfast was excellent, healthy choices with friendly staff so attentive. The bar in the evening was a great vibe to relax and enjoy so close along the Arno river

Twice we had our room cleaned and the shower dispenses were not replenished which is why I was not happy.
