This is an amazing property. Was owned by a wealthy family and converted to a hotel. Has limits as is owned by the church across the road, so can't sell a breakfast. So much history in this building with an amazing library, paintings from prominent artists and lots of space. Good view of Duomo from 3rd floor
Convenient to the train station to walk. Also, Florence is so walkable, this was close to everything, the Accademia and Duomo, the river and Michelangelo burial place.
The rooms are sparse, but it has so much more room and high ceilings, which kept it cool in the warm weather. The bed is good, clean bathroom, in room refrigerator. It is sufficient as you are going to be out seeing the sights and and eating well. The church plaza across the road can be noisy at night. City living and so just adapt. Lastly, the staff were fantastic in helping with sightseeing and eating. The building is secure at night as only staffed 9Am-7PM at front desk. Just a different place to stay, and loved the history of sleeping in a 4 to 500 year old building.
