Excellente!!!
The staff and accomodations were so fantastic!
They addressed me by name during my stay and were so helpful when asked any questions, whether about the hotel, or ideas about Florence.
The location could not have been more convenient !!!!
Right on the river and steps from both the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi, and Galileo museums.

A wonderful hotel in Florence.
We had an excellent stay: we will certainly return, and would recommend the hotel to anyone. It has a wonderful location, with beautiful views of the Arno and the Duomo. The breakfast was very good indeed, with lovely cereals, scrambled eggs, fruit and so on. The staff were charming and helpful. My one criticism would be that the shower was very tricky - the water was either icy or scaldingly hot. All in all, a special and delightful hotel!

Truely lovely place to stay in Florence.
The hotel is an old monastery. There is a grace in staying here. The staff are wonderful. The breakfast room is a delight, frescoed ceilings and chandeliers. Good variety for breakfast. Tables overlook the Arno. The library on the second floor is beautiful, with portions of old frescos on the walls and it is full of leave-one take-one books. The rooms are spotlessly cleaned, beds comfortable, bathrooms updated. The fifth floor bar is a great spot to unwind after a day of walking and museums. It is an old building with a perfect location; it charmed us. It isn’t a modern hard lines and vacant spaces hotel. The rooms are comfortable, windows open to the alley. We just loved it and would stay here again and again.

Excellent hotel and property with friendly staff. We stayed in one of the apartments - which was very spacious and great for a longer stay.
The location was fantastic - all major attractions were within walking distance (e.g. Dumo, Uffizi, Academia Museum). Plenty of shops & restaurants were just a few steps away.

Historic Gem
If you want to visit Florence's historic sites, you cannot do better than to stay in this hotel. It is located between the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio on the Arno river. They have a rooftop bar with stunning views of the river on one side and the Duomo on the other. And just have a look at the amazing breakfast area! This hotel used to be a monastery, and has been renovated beautifully into a modern hotel with historic touches.
