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.
