This hotel was the best hotel that we stayed at during our trip to Italy. It is also conveniently located to the Uffizi and the Galeria dell'Accademia. Additionally, we found a laundromat just a block and a half away, where you can wash/dry two loads for just about $20.
Carlo, one of the hotel reception clerks, is a genius for recommending the restaurant "The Divine Comedy Restaurant," a Tuscan steakhouse, which was splendid. The breakfast here was the best breakfast we had at any of hotels we stayed in Italy. The juices and the yogurt-fruit bar with toppings was out of this world. This will be the hotel I stay at if I ever visit Florence again.
