This 4-star property belongs to the Alfieri Collezione and offers a blend of classic Florentine character and modern comforts.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Central location can mean busy streets — Being on the Arno near major sights, expect street noise and crowds, especially in high season. Soundproofed rooms help, but light sleepers may notice.
- Adults-only policy — This hotel does not accommodate children, so it may not suit families travelling with kids.
- Parking is valet-only — While on-site parking exists, it's valet, which typically adds to the cost and requires advance coordination.
- Price point for the class — Rates from GBP 137 per night – reasonable for 4-star central Florence, but value dips if you don't use the premium amenities.
