The hotel is perfectly located , the area is "real Firenze ", very close to mythic places like Brancacci Chapel , Palazzo Pitti (inter alia) .The building is majestuous , the entrance gives you the impression of being a Renaissance prince .. ; and the rooms are not only very well maintained and comfortable but also offer splendid decorations with frescoes , and high volumes (super ceilings ); and last but not least all the staff is not only very professional but also very helpful , friendly and make you feel at home . I could only stay a few nights but when I come back to Firenze , no doubt : I will stay at the palazzo Guadagni!

Wow! Where else can you get FIVE-STAR treatment at 20 percent of the cose? This fabulous Renaissance jewel looks out high above Piazza Santo Spirito, the heart of city of Florence, away from the Renaissance Disneyland across the river, although you are only a short ten minute walk away! Life doesn't get much Better. The owners are MORE than that. They will become your Famiglia Fiorentina. The staff, Melania, Rosanna, Ateesh and Rita, are each one kinder than the other. Save your money for shopping on Via Tornabuoni, don't throw it away on a hotel room five times the price and one-tenth the quality. I have recommended this place to at least 25 friends, all of whom have sang my praises afterwards. You will sing them, too! Trust me.

A nice hotel, with very clean rooms, comfortable beds and a welcoming atmosphere. We had luggage problems (ever transited through Heathrow???) which made us "shift" our travel plans by one day...which meant that we checked-in a day later, and left a day late as well...the staff was very accomodating, and catered to our last-minute challenges in such a way that we felt even more welcomed! All of the staff's recommendations (restaurants, tours, etc...) were without flaws, and the morning staff was always inquiring about our previous day's experience...a nice touch! The only problem was that we were expecting wifi to be available in our room, but it is not the case! We had to go to the (nice...) hallway near the lobby to catch the Internet...but then again, if we had Internet in our room, we would not have met Bob, who made our stay just a little bit more enjoyable!

We enjoyed each day of our stay there. Excellent and very helpful staff, great location and amazing rooms with painted ceilings and great views.
