SoprArno Suites

My daughter booked a deluxe room for 3 nights , and neither of us wanted to leave ...||The hotel cafe is on the ground floor, but the rest of the hotel is on floors 1-3 including rooftop. There is a lift but the stairs are so beautifully wide and well-lit that we used them everyday.||We were aware that reception was not 24-hr and we were a bit concerned in case our flight was delayed, so we got in touch with the hotel before arrival. Viviana was very helpful and responsive to our queries. We arrived at the hotel just before 4pm and Viviana still took the time necessary to explain how access beyond hours worked and showed us around the common areas. We were delighted with the selection of quick bites available in the common room behind reception. The lemon cake was divinely crumbly yet moist.||Our deluxe room was more spacious than I have experienced in many "standard" hotels (see photos). The only suggestion I would make would be to incorporate bathrobe/towel hooks next to the shower area. To improvise, I used the chair on my side while my daughter hung her towel on the toilet doorknob on her side.||We were given Room 24 on the 2nd floor. Just outside our door is a shared sitting room for guests on that floor. I would read here while waiting for my daughter to wake up in the mornings. (Note : there is a TV in the room plus a DVD of The Roman Holiday.)||The hotel continued to delight us with their breakfast offering. Coffee as you like it prepared by the lovely Maura, a selection of juices, cereals and yoghurt, 3 types of croissants (I preferred wholegrain) plus other breads, selection of cold cuts and cheeses, boiled eggs, and a cake of the day. The apple cake looked dense but tasted incredibly light. I always finish my meal with their cherry tomatoes which taste glorious.||Soprarno is conveniently located and easy to find even as we walked everywhere. As you exit the main door and look to the right, you can see the Ponte Santa Trinita close by. To the right of the Santa Trinita is the famous Ponte Vecchio. Towards the back is the Palazzo Pitti through which we accessed the magnificent Giardino di Boboli. There are some lovely trattorias with a view of the palazzo. Their outdoor seating offers a much more open aspect that the trattorias in the more cramped areas.||If you are in Florence for a short holiday, the map in the Soprarno reception area offers suggested sights for day 1 and day 2. We eschewed queues and instead had a fun morning exploring the city with the help of Questo. Block off at least 2 hours if you wish to explore the Giardino di Boboli.||Our departure coincided with a planned transport strike (20th) and we were unsure if our flight would be cancelled at the last minute. To be honest, my daughter and I would have been happy to be stranded in Florence! Brunella was on duty on that Friday and, after explaining our predicament, she offered to keep our room free for as long as she can in case we had to spend another night in Florence. She even asked for our flight details so she can check on our flight status after we had checked out. When we were at the boarding gate and confirmed to her that we will not be needing our room anymore, she said she had just checked and noted that our flight was on schedule. THAT was service of the highest level.||My daughter and I have had the loveliest stay, and if I come back to Florence, I would definitely want to stay here again. Thank you to Brunella, Viviana and Maura for making our stay beyond pleasant.

We stayed at Soprarno Suites for a few nights in Florence, and it honestly felt like staying at a (very stylish) friend’s home. The room was beautiful with vintage furniture, art books, and always smelt so nice! But what really made our stay was Brunella. From the moment we arrived, she made everything so easy. No formalities, no stress-just warmth, great recommendations, and always smiling! We will be coming back for the city for sure, but more so for Brunella!

We have spent 3 nights at this truly amazing and elegant hotel. Everything was absolutely perfect, from location, quality of the food served for breakfast, the unexpected and very comfortable bed and pillows to the very kind and very helpful staff. I would like to say a big thank you to Viviana at reception who helped us with restaurant reservation and tours, Maura at breakfast and Rebeca our chambermaid. Thank you all! You made our stay memorable! Truly recommend!!!

Wow! We are still talking about our stay at SoprArno Suites. Such a lovely and cute hotel. It felt like we were staying in someone's home. Wonderful location with plenty of charm. The breakfast was superb and really well done. Lots of variety and friendly service, as well. Our room was clean and well kept. Very spacious, as well! Brunella and Viviana are the best of the best. They helped with planning our stays, went above and beyond in booking restaurants, taxis, and even mailing things for us. The pre-trip, we had countless of questions and they always answered promptly and friendly which was much appreciated! They are so knowledgeable and extremely friendly! Truly remarkable! We cannot recommend SoprArno enough!

Brunella the Concierge sorted a complicated problem for us with our booking. Her attention was superb and she ‘got the job done’. This is a charming boutique set up and opposite Santo Spirito so location is excellent. Many restaurants, bars close by and virtually next door to The Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. Easy accessible walking to every major Florentine site.

What a lovely place! The room was spacious and beautifully kept. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The location was easy walking distance to all the sight we wanted to see. Highly recommend!

Some places just get it right! This is one of them. Great location in an authentic neighbourhood just a few mins from the river and the main city centre. Lovely tall rooms. Stylish and original interiors. Very helpful team. Nice breakfast and lounge with honesty bar. Local Sunday market, trendy menswear shops and great local restaurants on the doorstep! ….as I said these guys have got it just right. Very high recommendation from me!

This space is so unique, well thought out and overall a great spot to base your trip to Florence out of. The breakfast in the morning was good and the staff was so helpful in providing recommendations for quality leather shops and booking last minute activities and spa services. We really enjoyed our stay here and definitely recommend it! You will not regret it. My only feedback is for management to keep some room fans on hand for those of us who are acclimated to using AC even in moderate temps (it's us Americans, guilty as charged, lol). The AC is all/nothing for the entire building. We totally understood and were not upset, but would have slept better if we were able to get a touch cooler. Leaving the windows open was not an option due to street noise. If road noise is an issue for you, request a room that faces the inside of the building/enclosed courtyard. Overall, a fantastic place!
