The heart of Florence
The location of this property was perfectly situated in the Old Town Florence so close to the Pont Vecchio. We were able to walk easily to the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery. We found incredible restaurants around every corner.
The hotel is a former private residence and has so much charm. The breakfast was excellent. We visited the rooftop bar only once, the view was so-so. I would love to return some day, Florence has captured my heart.

We were only stayed for one night, but upon arrival the front desk was very friendly and helpful. They helped us with our luggage to the room (note to future guests, there are quite a few stairs to the rooms). Once in our room it was spacious with a comfortable bed and great view to the garden! We wish we were staying for more nights as this place was in a great location and walkability to pointe vecchio and lots of great shops and restaurants!

Magical
Traveled with my daughter our flight was canceled arrived at 1am . Gentlemen at front desk was very kind and took great care of us.
Next day another staff member helped me plan a private tour to the countryside . He set us up with Albert Zeka. Went to a beautiful boutique vineyard. Most magical day I have ever experienced.
I will be back .
Thank you

Very lovely hotel. Staff have great communication and were very helpful. The location is amazing, walkable to pretty much anywhere, but slightly out of the heart of the tourist area.
The breakfast is very touristy, so I wouldn’t waste your time with that. Mattress was very firm for my liking, but the rooms are beautiful.

Almost Perfect
I want to give it a top rating BUT, room 107 is next to the cleaning room, so the constant noise going back and forth was a little bothersome especially when one is trying to rest.
Not sure if there was construction above the room BUT that was a lot of noise to early in the morning.
Lastly, not sure where the odor was generating from BUT, there was. strong odor in the little hallway where room 107 is located.
Other than that, HOTEL LA SCALETTA was wonderful.

Lovely hotel, very convenient location with friendly and helpful staff. A few minutes from the Ponte Vecchio on the quiet side of the river and very close to the Palazzo Pitti. Beautiful rooftop dining with amazing sunset views and the food was delicious and quite reasonably priced. Good playlist too. The only downside were the stairs but in a 14/15th century building it was too be expected and I was aware of then before booking.

Aug 12, 2024
Everything was good the room size, location, the cleanliness and cleaning staff. HOWEVER a young Italian man (unfortunately I did not get his name) who works in the front desk was very rude both during check in and check out. He spoke and treated me as If I did something wrong to him or as if he had a personal problem with me. Very unprofessional not welcoming at all.The lady at the front was very polite welcoming but that young man needs to be retrained on how to give customer service and treat paying customers with respect. Example: during check out he didnt great me or smile barely made any eye contact with me and asked for the local tax payment. As I pulled out my credit card he very rudely said "you where told the payment had to be in cash...the payment has to be in cash"..he repeated himself three times as if insiuating I didn't have it. I pulled out the money and gave it to him he didn't say thank you it was very insulting. He needs to be retrained or put on the cleaning staff if he hates dealing with happy tourist who come spend money and unwind.
