“This family-run haven, removed from Florence's bustling core in the Oltrarno district, offers a more intimate experience with only ten rooms and unique views of the Cestello Church. Breakfast with a view over historic architecture makes for a gracious start to the day; this is a tranquil base from which to discover the city's gems. Personalized service and a quiet atmosphere distinguish it from larger establishments.”
