This hotel is hidden on a quiet street. It’s almost hard to find. But then you get to the room, open the windows, and realize your patio faces the back of the Santo Spirito church. The bell tower is right there.
It’s a 3 minute walk, literally around the block, to a piazza with several restaurants. The other direction takes you to a bridge across the river. But first you pass by firenze’s top wine window bar. There’s a super market around the corner.
The bed could have been softer, and the shower, while new and clean, is the typical Italian tiny stall.
But the location and charm more than make up for these things.
