“Romantic, modern and sleek hotel in Florence.”
Everything worked out great at the Continentale. Room was gorgeous: sleek, modern, inviting, romantic. Location was outstanding, immediately opposite the Ponte Vecchio with great views and a short walk from the major sights.
The property had a very inviting looking rooftop bar but despite us being there for three nights we never had the chance to check it out. They also have a sauna and breakfast area and chill out room.
The room we had was great - very white, plenty of intriguing things like huge clock face night stands and a desk area that hid a mini-bar, chair and storage in what looked like a old fashioned trunk.
This hotel contrasted well with our choice of a very 'grande dame' in Rome - the Westin Excelsior.
The staff were courteous and knowledgable.
For breakfast there are several options within the block but very expensive and very touristy. Would recommend going at least three blocks from Ponte Vecchio for half the price.
We would thoroughly recommend The Continentale and would love to return!
