La Residenza Fiorentina

My husband and I were very happy to stay at La Residenza Fiorentina. It was extremely convenient to everywhere, the train station, shopping area, museums, palazzos, restaurants. The room was very quiet, clean, and the breakfast room was so pleasant with nice service. Above all Alberto, the manager, was very kind and helpful so we get to know the city better.

Takes you back in time. Staff friendly and helpful

To be fair, it was extremely hot during our trip and we came in on a Sunday afternoon. The hotel door (which was pictured on the website) was closed from view with a large wooden door. The address listed on the website was for the rear entrance. You'd never guess that a large staircase leading up to hotel door (as pictured) laid behind it. We could of gotten in at the back of the building, but we had no idea this was possible until we attempted several hotels and one lovely woman showed us how to get in. The room was two flights up and I was never asked if I could climb stairs. I can do so, but it is not without discomfort and although we were offered a chance to relocate the next day, we were already unpacked and didn't want to go through repacking. The air conditioner hardly worked. The fan helped to blow a little bit of cold air, but I needed to put my luggage bag on the stand to stop it from rattling - but this did work. The maid service was good, the room clean, the internet worked fine. This would have be a good hotel for one or two nights, more than that I would check elsewhere or get a better room.

La Residenza Floretina is a hidden gem. Located in a 17th century villa close to major historical sites, it is clean, quiet and comfortable. The lovely receptionists are helpful and eager to please. I wish we could have stayed longer.

It’s a clean basic hotel in an old world building. Breakfast was sufficient and a good start to the day. All was good.
