Ponticino Vacations from $1,024

Absolutely everything was perfect - from checkin to deprture- Gelato and cookies available all day, wonderful breakfast, room was SO Awesome facing the Duomo, assist to schedule a taxi - lift so less stairs - would absolutely recommend !!!

Excellent lodging option very close to the Duomo and central to Florence. It is a terrific location in that it is close to everything but secluded off a very small road that only gets traffic for people checking in or leaving the property. The lodging is in a very old tower that has been converted to about 10 rooms. The front desk is excellent and surprised us when we checked in by telling us they would deliver an assortment of pastries to our room every day for breakfast. We had the Gemma suite which was not large but well laid out with a very comfortable bed and furniture and a very nice bathroom.

We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable day at this fabulous hotel. The staff responded to our every whim and even anticipated some! And its location right in the center of historic Florence cannot be beat. We will be back again!

From the moment we arrived at Monastero di Cortona, everything was wonderful. We were welcomed with a cold, delicious drink and invited to sit and relax while the staff took care of everything else for us. Anna then gave us a lovely tour of the hotel, which was such a nice way to begin our stay. When we walked into our room, there was a beautiful welcome table waiting for us with waters, chocolates, and even a lovely necklace charm, which was such a thoughtful touch. The room smelled absolutely amazing, and the view was stunning. Even the shower felt like a spa experience, with chromotherapy lighting and water that left our skin feeling incredibly soft. The complimentary breakfast was amazing, beautifully presented, and the staff was so attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We also spent time at the spa and absolutely loved it. The Turkish bath, sauna, and massaging pool were all incredibly relaxing, and we also had massages that were absolutely amazing. Even as we were leaving, the thoughtfulness continued—the housekeeping staff left us a departing gift, which was such a sweet and unexpected touch and made us feel special right up until the end. From the beautiful surroundings to all the thoughtful little details and wonderful service, our stay felt luxurious, peaceful, and very special. We truly felt taken care of from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.
