What you're near — and what you're not
- Piazza della Repubblica (a few minutes)
- Duomo (5–7 min)
- Ponte Vecchio (5 min)
- Resort amenities — it's a small historic hotel
- Step-free access can be limited in the older building
What you're paying for
Comfortable, traditionally furnished rooms in a restored medieval palazzo, including some larger family-friendly rooms; amenities are modest compared with the big hotels. The owners' hospitality and breakfast are the real selling points — book directly and ask about the larger rooms for more space.
