Amenities

Location
The hotel sits 200 metres from the Uffizi Gallery and a 5-minute walk from Florence Cathedral. Ponte Vecchio is also 200 metres away, and Santa Maria Novella Station is less than a 15-minute walk. Mercato Porcellino, the leather market, is adjacent, and live music often plays in the nearby loggia.
