A good choice

We were very pleased with this hotel. It was renovated in 2006, with good results. Our room was bright, comfortable and equipped with every convenience we could want, with a large bathroom. The service was good, the breakfast buffet comprehensive (the lovely 6th floor terrace was a plus), and the staff were accommodating. Located in the city centre, it's near just about everything you would want to see in beautiful Florence. Bring your walking shoes!
