As a profeessional travel writer/photographer who has stayed in various accommodations throughout Italy, I loved this hotel which I considered a super-find in Florence as far as comfort, service and location. I was "on vacation," not working, for three days. My immaculate room overlooked the Arno River -- and there was a balacony from which to enjoy the views; the... More

My husband and I are on our first trip to Italy. Our travel agent suggested this hotel for us and we are very happy she did. We will spend a total of 7 nights in this hotel. We have a room on the 4th floor. It is spacious, has a little balcony that overlooks their back garden. We can see... More

The Hotel Principe made my first visit to Florence perfect. With only 20 rooms, the staff makes you feel more like family friends than clients. The garden is beautiful, an oasis in the city, it's quiet and shaded. I sat in the garden and enjoyed perfect coffee and talked with the matriarch Anna, a lovely woman. The rooftop patio offers...

At first I was skeptical, as we had been staying in Marriotts so far on our European trip, but this was a wonderful little hotel. My only complaint was thin walls. Lucky for us, though, there are very few rooms (24, I believe) and everyone was relatively quiet. I would recommend earplugs, it really made a difference and sleep is... More

The Hotel Principe is a find. It shares a street with the likes of the St. Regis and Westin Excelsior at a much more affordable price and offers a boutique charm, great service, breathtaking balcony views, and excellent breakfast. Our stay was perfect. The staff brought fresh flowers to our room each day, the concierge was helpful with dinner reservations,... More

My family really enjoyed talking with Guiliano, whose family are the proprietors, and appreciated all the advice he gave us about our trip. The hotel was beautiful - high ceilings, picture moldings, art work on the ceiling, beautiful chandaliers, and immaculatey kept. Our room for four was great, too, and spacious. The location -- right on the Arno -- was... More

Enjoyed my time there thoroughly..The staff were amazingly helpful. I got a great rate on the room, and was completely satisfied with the accomodations.. Often, if you get a cheap rate your room is at the bottom rung when it comes to amenities and size. But not so at the Principe. I had accidentally taken my B&B key from my... More

The 5th generation of hoteliers is running this family owned 20 rooms old style hotel. We were given a room with terrace overlooking the Arno. Simpy ideal. Clean room with all the expected facilities (TV, fridge). I am not sure about aircon (the top floor, 4th, rooms might be hot in summer, right under the roof). Spacious and well functionning... More
