8.4Verified guest“Rooms are simple but updated, with lovely views over the park. The location is especially good—close to the Bronze Boar at Mercato Nuovo, major sights, and the central market. The Florence Historic Centre district is worth exploring.”

8.4Verified guest“Good value for money. The room was clean. The staff were quite different—we were welcomed by a really nice man who spoke French, English, Portuguese, and more, though we didn’t see him again the next day. They arranged to park our car, which was a real plus in busy Florence with its many one-way streets. Location is good—on a big square with trees, and a pleasant walk to the centre.”
