one week family stay

Excellent location and staff and quant hotel. Restaurant menu was uninteresting. We were looking forward to lovely evening meals in the hotel and ended up out every meal as the menu was restrictive and boring. I was hoping it would change during the week but it was the same all the time. The showers in the room had minimal pressure but that’s fairly normal in old beautiful hotels. We loved our stay but wished the menu to be better than the normal restaurants around. It wasn’t

Dear Mr. Martin & Family, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to learn that you enjoyed your long stay with us and that both our services and staff have somehow contributed to render your time in Florence a successful one. We regret that our Restaurant menu was not of your liking, usually we change it each season, however your consideration will doubtless be a matter for discussion with the Restaurant Manager. Thank you and kind regards, Luana Malloni Management Assistant

Idéal pour un grand-week-end de découverte

Hôtel très bien situé, proche de la gare, des sites historiques, des restaurants et des boutiques. Très calme, ambiance feutrée et chargée d'histoire. Tout était parfait et nos enfants (adultes) ont beaucoup apprécié aussi. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
