I NEVER write a review, good or bad, and stay in some of the best hotels around. I had to make an exception, this is one of the best places I have ever stayed. The couple that owns the hotel are some of the kindest and considerate people I have ever met. The rooms are large and comfortable with modern day upgrades. Breakfast is amazing and the location is excellent. The owners went out of there way to make our stay comfortable and helpful with the sights around town. I can not say enough...

This was our second stay at this hotel. It is in great condition. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. The breakfast is very nice as well....there is a wide range of options, all displayed beautifully. The best part about the hotel might be the location. It is in the heart of town, just steps from the Duomo but also seems off the beaten path and remains very quiet.

We booked our stay (and our guests) at this hotel thru Expedia without any knowledge of the property. We were looking for a place to stay in Florence for a few days with our friends as we traveled on to Rome for a week.
We've become accustomed to staying in nicer hotels and don't mind spending more to be in a safe, comfortable establishment with very good service. However, from the moment I parked my car in front of the hotel (in the plaza) and walked in the door I knew this was very, very...

As much as reading reviews on line can help with decisions, I tend to trust people that I know to make suggestions when traveling to a new place for the first time. That is how I found this gem. I honestly cannot think of one negative thing to say about this property or the people that work there. Great location, good breakfast, nice bar. We did not eat dinner there, but the free breakfast was pretty complete and they sure know how to make a great cappuccino. The hotel staff was always friendly...

I cannot say enough about Maison du Sage: Bed and breakfast hospitality with Boutique Hotel Elegance in Residential Apartment building. From the minute you get there, you feel as if you've known these people forever. It's like a better version of your own home, and with an elevator. Bathroom is great, and has all the thoughtful details. They have an aperitif hour, and all the guests are treated like old friends. Most of all, killer location! The only complaint I would have is that there was...

Beautiful grand old hotel with high ceilings and wonderful frescoes in the room. When you wake up, it feels like you are living in the time of the Medici. The bathroom has no tub but the shower has 3 different heads with incredible power. You will not be disappointed if the strength of the shower is important to you. The blow dryer is terrible! Service is awesome! The food is the best in Florence! Dinner and breakfast.

Everything about this property was unique and well thought. Appreciated the interior design and attention to art and finer details. Truly enjoyed the way in which the stone and wood from the ancient tower was incorporated into the design. the apartment did in fact feel luxurious and very efficient.

This hotel is truly deserving of its five-star rating. Reason number one: the exceptional quality throughout the entire property. Every detail reflects high standards — from the impeccable service and delicious food to the well-stocked bar. Not a single aspect felt like anything less than five-star.

Once again we stayed at La Gemma, a wonderful boutique hotel in Florence (Firenze), with all you need in life from a hotel— comfort, location, beauty in decoration, superb breakfasts, and a nice bar. This time, we want to single out Marinella among the staff—she was the maestro at the breakfast, directing us and others at our tables, taking our orders with a smile (never the same, my wife and I) and more. But all the team is great—from the bosses to the cleaning people and the restaurant staff....

I cant say enough about the hotel! When we arrived in a taxi we did not realize the taxi did not accept credit cards. We were a bit stressed as we had just traveled over 15 hours. Imran, the doorman came to our rescue and without any effort on our part, pulled out his wallet and paid for our taxi. We then exchanged cash in the hotel and promptly repaid him. Check in was prompt and professional. The room was outstanding! Clean, elegant, stocked with everything and more we would need and just...
