I recently stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic, close to many Florence landmarks and sites. The rooms are beautifully designed, and the private bathroom was a plus. However, the lack of ensuite bathrooms was a downside. The service was top-notch with friendly staff always ready to assist, but the pricing could be more competitive. The dining experience with included home-made jams was delightful, and the facilities offered were satisfactory.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a unique style and were quite comfortable, but the shared bathrooms were a downside. The service was top-notch with attentive staff, although the price was on the higher side. The location was fantastic, right next to a brightly lit square, making it convenient for exploring the city. The dining options were limited, but the Chinese dishes provided were flavorful. The facilities were adequate but lacked some modern amenities.
