Hotel Porta Faenza Description
Located in the historic heart of Florence, near the central station and the exhibition centre, the Hotel Porta Faenza is housed in the former residence of a large family of Florentine merchants. Now renovated, the house still conserves the original terra cotta and stones, as well as a beautiful collection of antique tools. The historic atmosphere blended with modern comforts will guarantee you an unforgettable stay in the heart of Florence.
This hotel has 25 tastefully-decorated rooms featuring a private bath, air-conditioning, satellite television, and a direct telephone line. Some rooms have a view of Via Faenza, a cobblestone, typically medieval little street, while other have a view of the inner courtyard. The hotel also has a breakfast room, meeting rooms, a bar, and a salon.
Located a 5-minute walk from the train station, and very near the city centre and many important attractions, the Hotel Porta Faenza is the ideal home base for guests seeking to explore Florence. A short stroll will take you to the Duomo, the Medici Chapel, the Uffizi Gallery, and Santa Maria Novella. The Florence airport is 15 minutes away by car.
The Porta Faenza hotel is convenientely located in Florence's historic centre, next to the Santa Maria Novella railway station, just steps away from the Conference Hall and the Fortezza da Basso exhibition grounds. The structure is a beautiful 18th century building which has been completely refurbished internally, with elevator, air-conditioning and soundproof rooms, some of which are equipped for the disabled, while others enjoy rooftop views.

From Rafael Garcia - Argentina
We stayed 2 nights at Florence, the hotel was really great, in fact it was the best we`ve ever stayed in from all Europe.

Internet reviews persuaded us to choose this hotel and we were not disappointed. Even after a long and tiring journey, it was easy to drag our bag from the railway station to the Porta Faenza. Once inside we were kindly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The room (at the back opening on to a courtyard) was small but extremely quiet. The bathroom was a good size and well equipped. In the morning the breakfast, which included fresh fruit, was all we could have wished for. The position of the hotel is ideal. The Via Faenza is not busy but it is in easy walking distance of all the artistic and architectural attractions that we wanted to see. In the evening there is a good choice of restaurants a few minutes away. The staff, from the chamber maids to the management, were very friendly and extremely helpful, charming in fact. We stayed four nights and would use this hotel again. We felt it represented very good value for money and we liked its atmosphere.

We went to Firenze to have a look at the beautiful art galleries. We left the Terravision bus and we only walk five m' to reach Porta Faenza. We especially appreciate the cleaning of our room. We recommend the restaurant Nerone situated in the same street at two m' from the hotel.

Beatrice was cheerful and quite accomadating. Initial room was tiny tiny tiny but eventually we were switched to a larger room (although it was near the lobby and noisy early in AM). Location very convenient to train station.

Excellent hotel - located in an old historic bldg but underwent renovation, nice stylized interior design. Good value. Has elevator! The only complaint is that they are serving for breakfast the worst coffee in Italy.

From BW - USA
Stayed 4 nights. Very nice hotel, friendly staff who spoke english, reasonably good breakfast, close to all the major sites we wanted to see as well as the train station, spacious room (ours had a quaint balcony outside), free wireless internet, good elevator. Made our Florence stay very pleasant. Directions from train station to hotel were vague and incomplete.

From Kailynn Emmel - USA
We stayed 2 nights. Our first night the room was very small and smelled terribly of mold. They moved us the 2nd night to a bigger room, but no smell. We were told they have a sewer problem when the weather changes (october). Also, the location is not very desirable - we didn't think it was a 3 star due to the location so near to the bus station with no good restaurants nearby.

Well located near main train station and other attractions. Good-sized rooms relative to normal European standards and breakfast was quite adequate!

Difficult to find by car, one way streets one of which you have to travel in the wrong direction to reach the hotel. Centrally located with probably the right room price.
