This is the second time we have stayed here while visiting Firenze. It is a lovely hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. They even recognized our 2nd stay and we had a chilled bottle of sparkling wine waiting for us in our room. The breakfast is delicious with a wide assortment of food and, again, very friendly staff! We walked to and from the train station with some difficulty because of our luggage, but a very easy walk to il Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Ponte Vecchio. A little further, but well worth the hike, is the Piazzelle Michaelangelo with the most amazing view of Florence!!! Such a beautiful city and a wonderful hotel! I would definitely recommend a balcony room for the magnificent view over the rooftops to the hills of Tuscany.
