Hotel Delle Nazioni
Staff at check in and check out were friendly and helpful. Didn’t really talk to anyone else. Room was pretty loud even with window upgrades. Couldn’t cool off room so had the windows open when we could.

The room was fine, what made our stay was the staff, just the best, engaging, helpful and informative. So much good advice that made our stay in Florence so much better. Spotlessly clean, which is so important
