The hotel was spacious with a good location short walk to the Duomo, Medici Palace and the market, and the centro storico. The extremely friendly staff provided all the necessary info. I had the double room which was airy and new-fashioned with a garden view.

Spotless hotel, perfect location in such a built up area, savoury breakfast. A high ceiling and a lounge area in the room and the comfy bed. Magnificent view over the garden and the pool. Very caring staff onsite. No complaints whatsoever, good stay in winter time.
Not so helpful staff!
