This 5 room boutique hotel is located a short distance (5 minute walk) outside the manic Florence 'tourist zone'. Filling the entire 4th floor of a historic building, every area has been redone and decorated by one of Florence's finest architects. Rooms are large, both modern and historic ( wake up to a ceiling fresco), and artfully decorated. The breakfast room/common area is also impeccable, with 24 hour Illy espresso and wonderful dessert wine plus biscotti. The breakfast is prepared fresh each morning by the fantastic family who runs the hotel. They were great hosts and helped immensely with recommendations on what to see, where to eat, side trips, and any arrangements we needed. If you want an impersonal, tourist hotel experience then please look elsewhere. But if you value true hospitality and design this is a great little spot.
