Top Arcetri Observatory Hotel Reviews

Bernini Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Alexandro and Lorenzo were fantastic! Extremely helpful and gracious!"

Hotel Calimala Florence

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful boutique hotel. Clean rooms Incredible staff"

Hotel Paris

8/10 Good

"The staff at Hotel Paris are wonderful, very welcoming and helpful. The good : we were in a nice large, clean room. The reason I took off a star, the noise from the street is substantial so something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper like myself. We only stayed there one night, so I didn’t bother inquiring if an interior, potentially quieter, room was available. This hotel was walkable to the train station and an easy to walk into Florence to see the sights. We did not have the breakfast there so cannot comment on it."

Grand Hotel Cavour

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and accommodating! Rooms were very clean and SPACIOUS! Would definitely return!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Florence

"Great hotel within walking distance of the historic centre of Florence. Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Amazing views from the rooftop bar/ restaurant. Thank you"

Hotel La Scaletta Al Ponte Vecchio

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel La Scaletta exceeded our expectations! Everything about the property - location, amenities, breakfast, room, and helpful staff - was excellent. I had stayed in the hotel (and loved it) decades before but it has ascended from a pensione to a true hotel. I hope to return one day!"
