“This spot, housed in a medieval tower, stands out for its access to some of Florence's best views from its rooftop terraces. The location is superb for exploring both the luxury shopping on Via Tornabuoni and the city's major sights. While some find the service inconsistent, I think the hotel's historic charm and unique setting have appeal.”
