We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. A nice family atmosphere with spacious rooms and very nice breakfast. A short walk to restaurants, shopping and great sights of Florence in addition to side trips to Pisa, Lucca and more. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is conveniently located near the main train station and close to the main shopping areas. The hotel is not bad seen externally. It has a very attractive and large reception and bar area and very nice breakfast room. The breakfast was, also, excellent. We were just given a crappy room for 3 people and it was way over-priced for Milan at that time of year. The hotel was nearly empty and they just crammed a cot into a double room. The air-conditioning was terrible and, apparently because of a nearby highway or main avenue (couldn't really tell), it was noisy and so you couldn't really leave the window open. The furniture was attractive 2nd empire-like stuff and the bathroom (weirdly) was large and beautiful. I have a feeling there may have been much better rooms. The reception and service when we arrived in the evening bordered on the appalling. I think the guy thought he was doing us a favor. We didn't even bother asking for any real help. The next morning, it was like a literal day and night. The reception and service was awesome. Who knows, maybe the realized we weren't just some slumming boorish Ami's and tried to make up for giving us such a crappy room. On the whole, the place is a gamble. Maybe they'll give you a good room and service, maybe they won't. Too bad. With a little better price management and more welcoming approach, it could be good value.

Our stay was good. The hotel is about 15 minutes walk from the train station. The room was quite warm as the a/c stopped working in the middle of the night otherwise everything was good.

Apart from the booking not being there when we arrived - this was great place to stay! Room large and garden beautiful!

We came to see Italy's masterpieces, and we did! Truly magnificent! A bit of advice--if you don't speak Italian, you don't get much help with questions, directions, miscellaneous information. Learn as much of the lanuage as you can!

This is a nice hotel. Living in the property is like staying at a royal house. It has a big front yard, paintings hanging on the walls of the hallway, clean rooms and quite surrounding. The Italian-style backyard garden is spacious and pleasent, great for talking a walk and breathing some fresh air after breakfast. Clean breakfast table with light blue cashmere covers. The only drawback is you have to walk blocks more to get to the city center. But it didn't bothered me that much. I enjoyed my stay.

A lovely, comfortable hotel with a rather old fashioned grandeur. Sitting in the rear garden provided a haven of tranquility, whilst the grounds in front of the hotel cut the rooms of from traffic and street noise. An impressive breakfast. Rather like staying in a rather grand country house, away from the noise of the city.

The hotel is very decent, nice garden, large parking (at an additional price though). Easy to find from the airport (some 20 mins drive). The surraounding is OK but it was hard to find a place to eat close by, as well as for any walk to the "attractions" you have to go via St Lorenzo which is not always agreable. Overall - nice, clean, 15 mins to the river, good and enjoyable stay.
