Charming Stay in a Former Palazzo
quiet location beautiful palazzo easy parking
I appreciated the hotel's quiet location a short walk from the Ponte Vecchio. The building is a beautiful, former Palazzo. It felt homey. Parking was easy in the park, though the parking was expensive.

This hotel had a superb location. I appreciated proximity to the city center, and it was easy to walk. The hotel had clean facilities. I liked garden and pool area. They was well kept.
The minibar did lack variety. I think it could have had a broader selection of snacks.

The breakfast has a very good choice. The reception was always available with someone ready to help and all friendly. The atmosphere was serene. It was nice and quiet.
The room we stayed in had signs of dampness. There was mold on the walls, and the room smelled like mold. The staff couldn't do anything about it.
