“My Husband and I are on a long trip through Italy, and this is probably our favorite hotel we have stayed in so far. The hotel is in a very convenient location to all the best destinations in Florence. The staff is incredibly helpful and gave us amazing recommendations for things to do, see, and eat in the city. They are so accommodating and make you feel at home. I loved the intimate feel of breakfast and the complementary bar. The rooms are incredibly elegant with a rich history and beautiful view. I wish we could have stayed longer.”

“The Boutique Hotel in Florence is marvelous, located in the heart of the city within walking distance of most attractions. It is a very old hotel with iconic rooms that make you feel like you stepped back in time. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable with a canopy bed that adds to the ambiance. The bath, with an Italian décor, is nonetheless modern. The service is the best, with everyone providing the utmost effort to accommodate you. (We had to leave early at 4:30 in the morning for our flight and they had a member of the staff come to our room to help us with our luggage and assure our taxi arrived. That’s above-and-beyond service!) A unique and very pleasant amenity is a small lounge on the third floor which has a full bar, soft drinks, etc, all complementary, for you to serve yourself. Breakfast is also wonderful. We highly recommend the Boutique Hotel. You will definitely enjoy your stay. Mike B, Upper Saddle River, NJ”

“This was our favorite hotel during our vacation in Italy. The staff were incredible! We felt like being home away from home. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Mateo who helped us with our luggages, showed us around and gave us a history of the hotel which was built in the 14th century. Mateo even help me with a phone call I had to make with a merchant who spoke Italian. We met George who helped me find leather bags. George, Angelo, Jason and Rafa took care of us everyday for breakfast. Our breakfast was excellent! We had a nice assortment of croissants, fruits and eggs. We ate a a big table and met some wonderful people during breakfast. There was also a fully stocked bar and coffee available all day! Our room was big and very clean. Sebastian was there for most of our stay. We had many conversations and he treated us like family. He was so helpful with everything and even helped me get parking for my aunt who visited us from Bologna. Our location was perfect! Everything was within 5-15 minute walk. The hotel offered us a the historic 14th century experience, charm and hospitality! This is the only place we would stay when I go back to Florence.”

“I love this hotel!!! We stayed in the Umberto apartment with the loft. It was great and even has a view of the Duomo!! The communal breakfast was a great Way to meet other travelers. The lounge has a well stock bar that is serve yourself 24 hours. Walking distance to the Duomo and everything else. The staff was so friendly snd knowledgeable. The hotel is family owned and run by the three sons of the founder. There was always one brother on site and they were so much fun to hang out with and chat about the buildings restoration and hear stories of growing up in Florence. I cannot recommend enough!!!”

“From the moment we arrived, we knew this was a special place, we were made to feel right at home. It’s not every day you get to stay in a historic 14th-century palace! We stayed in the Leonardo room on the first floor with a beautiful view overlooking the piazza. The room was spacious, quiet, and luxuriously appointed. Each morning, the staff prepared an outstanding breakfast spread, fresh pastries, fruit, and eggs cooked exactly how you like them. Honestly, one of the best omelettes I’ve ever had. Nothing was missing. As if that wasn’t enough, the hotel also offers a complimentary, well-stocked bar. One night we grabbed a couple of beers and walked up to Piazzale Michelangelo for sunset, perfect. The location is unbeatable for exploring Florence, and the hospitality was second to none. 10/10 would recommend.”

“I recently spent a month in Florence, and my stay was truly glorious thanks to the exceptional hospitality at In Piazza della Signoria. The hotel provided a beautiful and comfortable home in the very heart of the city, with every major landmark just steps away. The entire staff was warm, attentive, and consistently professional, making me feel welcomed and well cared for throughout my entire stay. I couldn’t have chosen a better place to experience the magic of Florence, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting this remarkable city.”
