“So convenient”

We wanted somewhere central to minimise walking and this was ideal, a stone's throw from teh Ponte Vecchio and just a stoll from the Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio and the rest of the historic centre. 10-15 min walk from the station. Decent security (code needed for lift to reach hotel), small room but decent air con (a must in August, firm bed. Fabulous roof terrace with great view over river and Oltrarno, good breakfast and service.

“Simply Charming !!!”

This hotel was in an excellent location. The rooms were small but very clean and just fine for our needs. The service was excellent from the hotel staff. The rooftop terrace was so wonderful, relaxed there at the end of each day with a glass of wine and some snacks. It had a wonderful view of the Duomo and beyond. You felt like you were in a private garden. The breakfast room was just as wonderful with a delicious breakfast each morning. Loved the Living Room, it felt like home, we would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend it.

“At home in Florence”

This is a very nice hotel with an at home feel. The room was very nice. The breakfast nook was simply beautiful--a great way to start the day. The lounge was like being at home in one's living room and the roof garden was a great place to relax. To top it off, all three rooms, the nook, the lounge and the garden have great views. From them one can see the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, and the city hall. For a person like me with very limited Italian, it was most helpful to have a staff which spoke excellent English. All in all one of the nicer places I've stayed at.

“Hotel hermitage”

Wonderful hotel friendly and helpful staff, and great location.

“great location”

right across from the Ponte Vecchio & easy walking to almost everywhere you could want to go. Ask for inside room, street side can be a little noisey

“A Nice Little Hotel”

This hotel is located right at the centre of everything. Being next to the Ponte Vecchio, we could easily walk to most attractions. They have a very tiny elevator but their staff was very nice and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to my friends for sure.

“Hotel Hermitage”

A better place would be hard to find.

“Paradise in Florence”

What a wonderful hotel - central, attractive,clean and helpful staff. Would not hesitate to recommend it, especially if you like small hotels with character smack in the centre of the place you are visiting. We did not need to take taxis and so were able to explore all of Florence on foot. Breakfast room has stunning views and terrace is even better. Lovely lounge with small bar. Staff were unfailingly polite and willing to help.

“Excellent hotel in first rate location”

This hotel has a prime location in the city centre literally minutes away from the attractions we wanted to visit. Staff were all very pleasant and efficient. Breakfast buffet was more than adequate. The hotel has a beautiful terrace which overlooks the Ponte Vecchio on one side and the Duomo on the other. One of the best city centre hotels we have stayed at.

“Delightful hotel”

We have stayed in other hotels in Florence but the Hermitage is easily the best: its position yards from the Ponte Vecchio makes it so easy to get to where one wants to go within minutes. Breakfasts on the roof terrace overlooked by the Palazzo della Signoria, or in the attractive dining room, are really charming, as are the furnishings & pictures which are a mixture of the old & new. Very helpful & friendly staff who were always ready with advice on best places to eat & other information. The only drawback is that it only does breakfast, but with so many great places to eat out it doesn't really matter. Our room overlooked a little square with an ancient church & the swifts screaming around all evening & swooping in & out of their nests in the church's facade seemed to echo our own delight.
