Family-focused reviews and ratings
Our family vacation was amazing! The hotel was beautiful, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring Florence. I highly recommend this hotel!
Great hotel, but a couple of minor issues. The room was fantastic, but the staff at breakfast were a little off. The location was superb.
Honeymoon bliss! Amazing spa, fantastic restaurant, and incredibly helpful concierge. Would definitely return!
My wife and I loved our romantic getaway! The hotel's location on the Arno River was perfect, offering a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle while still being an easy taxi ride to the main attractions. The room was beautiful, and the service was perfect. Breakfast was delicious!
This hotel is a hidden gem! The attention to detail and the amazing amenities made our stay truly lovely. The location was perfect for escaping the crowds while still being a short trip to the city center.
