Hotel Details

Location

A 1-minute walk from Santa Maria Novella station places you at the heart of Florence, with Pitti Palace 5 minutes and Ponte Vecchio 10 minutes on foot.
The building sits directly opposite the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella, in a historic district packed with restaurants, cafés, and shops. The tram and train station are literally a minute away, making day trips to Pisa or Siena effortless. All major sights - the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, and Piazza della Signoria - are within a 10- to 20-minute walk. The immediate street is busy with traffic and a popular restaurant below, so street-facing rooms can be noisy until late; light sleepers should request a quieter position.

Accommodation

Rooms feature wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta or parquet floors, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers; some have balconies or garden views.
Accommodation ranges from a compact double with shared external bathroom to the King Suite with its own kitchen, washing machine, and balcony on the first floor. The Enzo Ferrari Suite includes a private kitchen with fridge and oven. Most rooms have soundproofing, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, and a washing machine. Bathrooms are modern but can be compact - the shower in some rooms is very small. For quiet, choose a room facing the courtyard or garden; street-side rooms (especially those on lower floors) suffer from restaurant and traffic noise well into the night. The Deluxe room has a private external bathroom located in the hallway.

Dining

Breakfast is available for an extra €13, served buffet-style with Italian options, breads, pastries, yogurt, and hot drinks; a simpler 24-hour self-service option includes coffee, tea, juice, and cookies.
The main breakfast is a continental buffet - no cooked proteins or fresh fruit are routinely offered, but the spread covers the basics well. For those who prefer a larger or earlier start, the 24-hour self-service kitchen area provides hot drinks, packaged pastries, and yogurt at no extra cost. There is no restaurant or bar on site, but the immediate area offers dozens of dining choices within 300 metres, including Ristorante Belcore, Trattoria da Giorgio, and Tosukana Sushi. The shared kitchen also lets you prepare simple meals or store perishables in the communal refrigerator.

Wellness and Leisure

On-site leisure is limited to the shared lounge area with a TV, but you can arrange wine tastings, cooking classes, and guided museum tours for an additional fee.
There is no pool, spa, or fitness centre on the property. However, a range of local activities can be booked at reception: bicycle rental, bike tours, walking tours, and museum excursions. The historic centre is best explored on foot - all major attractions are within a 15-minute walk. For cyclists, free bike parking is available under the Santa Maria Novella station. Evening entertainment includes movie nights and live music performances at venues just off-site.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi throughout, free daily housekeeping, free luggage storage from 09:00-19:00, and a paid laundry service with two washing machines available.
Facilities include a shared kitchen, shared lounge/TV area, and an on-site minimarket. The 24-hour self check-in is free with prepayment and ID upload. Breakfast costs €13 and is not mandatory. Laundry (washing machine and drier) can be used for a fee - one machine is private to the King Suite, the other shared. Services such as bike rental, guided tours, and cooking classes incur additional charges. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, and key access. The property is non-smoking throughout and is not wheelchair-accessible.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the 24-hour self check-in for late arrivals after 19:00; prepayment and ID are required to receive access codes.

  • 02

    Request a room away from the street or on a higher floor if light sleep, as street-side rooms and the ground-floor restaurant can produce significant noise until late.

  • 03

    Plan around the lack of on-site parking: use the Garage Medici (300 m away, €35/day with ZTL access) or the Scandicci metro park (€7/day) for budget-friendly car storage.

  • 04

    Book a room with a private balcony or view - options are limited but available; the King Suite on the first floor includes its own kitchen and washing machine.
