    This is such a gem of hotel. Beautiful, elegant interior design with lovely touches everywhere - it felt like staying in someone's gorgeous home, not a hotel. Excellent shower in the bathroom and (I love this) separate shampoo, conditioner and body wash - not one combined bottle. The location is incredible - not more than a minute on foot to Piazza del Duomo - but also quiet. Communication for self-check-in was super clear - all done by WhatsApp and very responsive. Wonderful all round!

Spa is lovely, slightly annoying that as a guest with spa access you have to book a 90 min slot but as its not that big i get it. Breakfast was great and good quality as well.

    The property is in an excellent location in Florence, surrounded by many designer boutiques and restaurants. The apartment itself is super clean and very comfortable. The terrace really makes the apartment, it has a lovely view and is also really comfortable to sit out on, given the nice seating area. The bed was also very comfortable and we slept great here. Effective AC and easy self check in.

    A pleasant surprise to discover that the boutique hotel was designed by Roberto Cavali. The beautifully appointed lounge, with a lovely view of the river, was at once intimate and a welcoming milieu in which to chat with other guests, whether over a delicious breakfast or drinks in the evening. Staff was extremely helpful. An easy walk to the town centre but calm and quiet location.

    The location in Oltrano was great, walking distance for everything we wanted to see and do. The bed was comfortable, the shower was great. The washing machine and dishwasher were a real luxury. Cooking and dining equipment was provided, we had the best cups of tea there thanks to the stove top and the kettle. Air conditioning which we needed. Steamer / iron and hairdryer also provided. The apartment looked great, obviously an interior designer had been at work here.
