Great place to stay in Florence without the crowds
Very friendly reception staff, with excellent customer service and information—including transportation and restaurants in the immediate area. Very well situated hotel within an easy walk to tourist sites in the heart of the city, and very near the tram lines for easy access to the airport.

The staff were welcoming and helpful when we needed assistance. It was a 3 minute walk to the tram and a few minute walk to a couple of good restaurants. The breakfast was excellent for the cost of $10 euros per day each.
