9Verified guest“Breakfast on the terrace with a lovely view of Florence was delightful. The staff were great, especially Elena, whose tips about local olive groves made my day. Don't miss Trattoria Bondi nearby for authentic Florentine food.”
9Verified guest“The room was newly renovated, stylish, with a view, and had everything I needed. The location was excellent—a famous monument was just a short walk away, and there were a central market and shops around. I was lucky to have a train station just minutes away.”
