I felt like I had stepped back in time as soon a as I walked through the main gate. We stayed in the Cupid room and woke up in the morning to church bells ringing. I truly felt like I was waking up in my own palace. The breakfast provided was delicious and plentiful Daniela and her team were marvelous hosts! There were spacious sitting rooms that were elegantly decorated, and plenty of space to lounge. I can’t say enough about this place if I ever get back to Florence, which I hope I do this is where I will stay.

Proximity to all historical visiting sites. The rooms are fabulous . Mrs Daniela who is the owner was the perfect host - unchanged experience as we visited 10 years back as well.
As everywhere in summer- there were some mosquitoes in the room after opening the windows but the hotel provided anti mosquito devices

The location was amazing and the staff was fantastic. We stayed in the monster, huge big suite which was amazing but really too big for just one couple.
The bathroom situation is really awkward. One has to go up four steps to a landing and then down three steps to the bathroom.

Disappointing
The location is fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed magnificent Florence. The palazzo is stunning with large palatial rooms and the two staff we briefly saw were helpful in recommending and reserving a restaurant for dinner on the first evening we arrived and booking a taxi for us when we left three days later. Beautiful cafe across the street offers outstanding breakfast.
Our experience was nothing like other reviews. We can see how this was once a fabulous place to stay but it appears Daniela's days as a gracious, superb host are no longer. We did not meet her and most of the time there was no staff around at all. A bit eerie. While palazzo itself is stunning, it's also quite run down and dusty. We love and appreciate old properties but there are basics that should be functional/in working order. The A/C in our room was adequate but in the room we booked for our college age kids (the all white room with canopy bed depicted in hotel photos) -- which was positioned to us as an upgrade when we checked in -- the A/C was not at all adequate. in fact barely functional. Florence heat was hovering around 100℉ /37℃ so it was not a pleasant place to stay and near impossible to sleep. And while we had a working A/C in our room, the rickety old 1970s bathroom left quite a bit to be desired with a barely functional shower head and bath plug that didn't work so neither a proper shower or bath available. The bed and bedding were not as expected for this caliber of hotel and there was one small wardrobe unit with a few hangers but no other clothing storage, not even a luggage rack. There was a very cheap bottle of Prosecco in each room but not refrigerated and not sure the second room even had a mini fridge. The whole place looked quite neglected. Initially disappointed that breakfast is no longer provided at the palazzo and vouchers are given for a cafe across the street, our misgivings quickly dissipated as that cafe turned out to be the best part of our stay. The reception person who checked us in was friendly but left a few mins after we arrived and we saw no one else until our departure on the third day. I feel bad writing this review but wouldn't want anyone else to have the same erroneous preconceptions based on dated reviews.

It’s a great location and absolutely special palazzo. The owner welcomed us at the door. The character is exceptional. It is 5-10 min to all historic sites.
There is nothing to not like about the palazzo.

It was a beautiful surprise and highlight of our Florence stay! Highly recommend for those we appreciate art and history and want to have extraordinary experiences rather than staying in a hotel. Gorgeous place and will come back again!

Very convenient location. Hotel itself was good; rooms were spacious and very Roman feel in the room with nice decor. Lots of snacks too! The receptionist gave us good tip as well on how to maximize time in Florence and what to avoid!
The only things is that it’s bit dark when we entered and would be good if they can make entrance feel more brightened with lighting and general facelift on the overall entrance/reception experience.

Spacious room with a huge common book room and music room. Truly a royal experience living in a palace. Even fully booked, hardly saw anyone so almost like the entire space is ours. Location was right in the center with easy access to our areas of interest (eg Duomo) and excellent restaurant within 10 minute walk. Set breakfast was available at Le Menagere.
Minor inconveniences like the road to the hotel was blocked at the Palazzo Medici Entry. Wish that the hotel proactively informed us of the alternate route to get to hotel. Taxi dropped us off at the corner and we had to drag our heavy bags for a short distance.

The history, the owner Daniela and her lovely staff William and his cousin - all could not be more pleasant helpful and great to engage with
At my age one has to be careful about an old building and steps and stairs. Not a big problem - just take care. Plus I was always helped with luggage.

You won’t have many moments in life to stay in a former palace filled with frescoes. The entire space is breath taking, and Daniela treats you like family from the moment you enter. Breakfast is top notch, great location, and we will be back

I loved the hospitality shown by the staff, especially Daniela. The room was amazing, very spacious. The decoration and the frescoes were marvelous. As passionate readers of italian renaissance history, it was a dream come true to stay at the palace with my partner. I highly recommend it!
