Debra C. writes... "I have stayed at this charming hotel several times while on business in Florence/Siena. The rooms and bathrooms are comfortable with all conveniences. There is a nice breakfast and the location is great for seeing the sights of Florence, on the same street as the Medici Chapel. During my last stay (11/97) a single was ITL240,000 per night (breakfast and tax included)." -ed. note: Per their web site, rates as of Feb. 2004 are from 132 to 418 Euro for a double. |
