This is a family-run hotel and the staff is wonderful. It is small, but the rooms and the atmosphere are very comfortable. I recently made my third stay in the last five years. The quality of the experience was unchanged. The rooms are clean and nicely appointed. The breakfast is very good. Each person is provided with two croissants (one plain and one with cream or jam). There is also coffee, an ample selection of teas, juice, various flavors of yogurt to choose from, a fruit torta, rolls, ham, and cheese. The rates for this hotel are very reasonable, especially when compared to a similar hotel in the center of Florence...definite value for your money.

The location may be a hinderance for those travelers whose main objective is to see the sights of Florence. However, it is only a 40 minute bus ride to the S.M.N. train station and the center of everything. So, if only part of your time in the area will be spent "al centro storico", then this place is worth considering. This hotel would probably be best for those on business, who have meetings in the suburbs of the city. Also, it would be a perfect location for those travelers who intend to visit the northern part of Tuscany...making day trips to the Mugello, Prato, several of the worthwhile small towns, or for shopping at the designer outlets in Barberino.
