While the dining options were limited, we found great alternatives nearby like the Pitti Cafe for delicious treats at reasonable prices. It would have been better to have more variety on-site, but we didn't mind venturing out to discover local gems.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with beautiful original fresco ceilings and period furnishings, creating a charming ambiance. However, the bathroom was small, and the shower was a bit difficult to maneuver with a leaky shower head. The location was excellent for exploring the city, being close to Palazzo Pitti and Boboli Gardens, but the dining area was cramped even though the breakfast was better than expected.
