Top Arcetri Observatory Hotel Reviews

Bernini Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and staff located within walking distance of everything you want to see, fine restaurants and more. Breakfast was delicious and hot: great cappuccino. Very helpful staff and attentive to your needs. Had a very spacious and clean room with a view of the Duomo. Very comfortable king-size bed with luxuriously white sheets and Nespresso coffee machine. Special thanks to Analisa and Miranda who were so wonderful. Highly recommend this hotel. It truly deserves 5 stars."

Hotel Paris

8/10 Good

"The hotel is housed in a beautiful building, greater than 500 years old. It is very clean and well maintained, but some of the room amenities leave a little to be desired. The bathtub is very small and has a glass partition which covers just half the space. It takes a little maneuvering to stand under the shower and keep everything else dry. The water pressure was very good. Also, no bathroom counter space to speak of. The furnishings were in keeping with the age and period of the building. Our room was on the fifth floor and the elevator does not go that high so there were lots is steps to be tackled. Our party was ok to manage this but there are many who could not. The staff is there of course to help with bags. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to all our needs. Finally the Hotel Paris is in an amazing location- very close to Santa Maria Novella train station, the Duomo, good restaurants and great shopping."

Hotel La Scaletta Al Ponte Vecchio

8/10 Good

"First time in Italy and what a great introduction to Florence with this great hotel in the middle of this vibrant city. The staff was fun and amazing giving good advice where to dine at traditional restaurants that is walking distance. The best part is the upstairs indoor outdoor breakfast area with good selection of pastry, eggs, bacon etc even fresh honeycomb honey u can spoon it right out. In the evening outdoor terrace serves drinks and cocktail overlooking the city of Florence for a beautiful sunset. The elevator was a bit small and if u took the stairs was a little confusing but that was part of the charm and character of this hotel that made it special. I truly felt like i was experiencing Italy in this hotel and that's what makes traveling most enjoying."
