PERFETTO!|We stayed at Corte Calzaiuoli in October, our first time to Florence. It was an excellent experience, with very friendly and hardworking staff, beautifully appointed rooms, and a stellar central location. It was worth every penny!||Location can't be beat - it's a busy neighborhood,  right in the middle of everything, surrounded by high end shopping and restaurants, and within a 10-15 minute walk of major attractions. It's less than a 5 minute walk to the Duomo and the Uffizi museum.||Staff is very helpful and friendly - They made restaurant reservations for us, arranged a cab to the airport, and stored our bags when we arrived early. Cleaning crew was prompt and efficient. The breakfast staff were welcoming and generous, bringing us new things to try when they were freshly made and made excellent cappuccino!||The included breakfast was delicious and fresh, and It opened promptly at 8AM every day. It consisted mostly of freshly made pastries, and some protein options like eggs, yogurt and salmon. There were some "premium" options available for extra charge, which we thought was a little odd, but we never felt the need to try that, the regular fare was delicious and plenty.||Accommodations throughout are elegantly decorated, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet. Herringbone hardwood floors, marble in the bathrooms, trompe l'oeil on the walls and ceiling and luxurious linens on the bed. The shower stayed hot and had great pressure. There was an "honor system" mini bar that was useful and not dramatically overpriced, and they left us a small bottle of wine, water, and some cookies as a complimentary treat. Also, the windows keep the noise out really well. We opened the windows one morning to discover the Duomo bells had been ringing and we hadn't heard it!!||Finding the "right"place to stay in Florence can be challenging. There are SO many options and reliable info can be tough to find. I research the heck out of everything, and this property was highly rated - the reviews didn't lie. It was a wonderful experience all around, we would definitely stay there again.
