"Set in a 16th-century Florentine palace right on Piazza Santo Spirito in the trendy Santo Spirito neighborhood, this three-star hotel retains aristocratic features like high ceilings, large windows, antique furniture, frescoed ceilings, and fireplaces, which makes it feel more luxurious than a typical three-star. In-room amenities include a minibar, flatscreen TV, and a safe, while the large tiled bathrooms have heated towel racks, a bidet, fluffy bathrobes, and slippers. My favorite part is the rooftop terrace with stunning views over the city: the mornings bring a fantastic complimentary breakfast spread and evenings are perfect for watching the sun set over the red rooftops with a drink in hand, making it ideal for travelers who want to experience local Florentine life on the other side of the Arno." - Matthew Kepnes
