The Hoxton Florence
Loved my stay at The Hoxton Florence. Beautiful design, super comfy rooms, and such a relaxed, cool vibe throughout the hotel. The staff were genuinely friendly and made everything feel effortless. Great location too—close to everything but still calm and quiet. Stylish without being pretentious. ...

Orto De Medici Hotel
The Orto De Medici is a great hotel. The property is spotless, the staff are exceptionally helpful and the breakfast is terrific. The location is perfect - a short walk to the Duomo, virtually around the corner from San Marco, etc and yet it is just outside the main tourist scrum.
