We love the Bernini Palace. This was our second stay there and will always consider it our place to stay when in Florence. We love the old world charm, the attentiveness of the staff and the location in the city. Also, the breakfast is wonderful! The rooms are well appointed and include a turn down service every evening. The only improvement to our room would be a larger night stand to accommodate phones, chargers, eyeglasses, etc. The location is perfect, 5 minutes walk to the Ponte Vecchio and 5 minutes to the Duomo, and surrounded by cafes, restaurants, sandwich shops and shopping . After a busy day of shopping and sightseeing, we found it very relaxing to return to the hotel and have a relaxing cup of tea or wine in the lobby before bed. Florence is a busy place, but the Bernini is a calm restful spot in the heart of it all. We love to visit Florence and the Bernini Palace makes it even better!
