This ever-popular hotel right at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio was renovated in 1998 to give each room wood floors or thick rugs, shiny new bathrooms (most with Jacuzzis), and fresh wallpaper.
The guest rooms are of moderate size, occasionally a bit dark, but they're full of 17th- to 19th-century antiques and boast double-glazed windows to cut down on noise.
Those rooms that don't face the Ponte Vecchio are on side alleys and quieter.
Their famous roof terrace is covered in bright flowers that frame postcard views of the Arno, Duomo, and Palazzo Vecchio.
The charming breakfast room full of picture windows gets the full effect of the morning sun.
The owners and staff excel in doing the little things that help make your vacation go smoothly—but prices are a bit inflated
