“Staying close to the Santa Maria Novella train station is a real advantage here, placing you moments from arrival and departure, yet still within a comfortable walk of Florence's main attractions. The building itself retains an appealing historic character, while the rooms offer contemporary air conditioning and facilities, which I appreciated. I think this address balances a convenient location with well-considered comfort.”
