The staff was amazing and our stay was great. There were a few minor oddities due to the conversion from castle to modern suites, however, we loved our stay here.
Great experience! The staff were very polite, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel itself was very nice, and the room was spacious enough for us to stay comfortably. We had a pleasant visit and would happily stay here again.

This is not a normal hotel and is great for travelers looking for a unique experience
“Adjusted” to unique experience it was fabulous. A great hotel for people that are self sufficient, comfortable with unknown, but bad for people that book through regular hotels using points or needing immediate and highest end service. Great balance of premium, special, eclectic, with autonomy for experienced travelers.

The location is fantastic, staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and the rooms are huge and quirky. It was a great stay.
An amazing property that makes you feel like you are staying in historical Florence and not a run of the mill 5 star hotel. One of the best stays ever!

Absolutely stunning. It’s still a working palace so I felt like a Renaissance Princess. The service was impeccable. This is my new go to hotel in Firenze.

I've stayed at a lot of hotels, and am in love with this one. It's a beautiful palace, which made it one of the more unique hotel stays we've ever had. The breakfast room was beautiful, as was the view from there. And the staff were all so kind and amenable. Highly recommend this place!
