Michelin Guide "Contemporary design by a well known architect and cosmopolitan art exhibited as if in a museum, are the ingredients of the uniqueness and fascination of this really "modern" hotel."
Concierge "The hotel is popular with fashion and film types, but don't worry: Regular tourists are tolerated too."
Travel + Leisure "Only a two-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio, the 74-room Gallery Hotel Art is popular with members of the fashion industry thanks to its stylish interiors by local designer Michele Bönan." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The lobby and library of this eight-storey boutique hotel also double as a contemporary art gallery."
Star Service "A stone's throw from the Uffizi and Ponte Vecchio, this stylish pioneer is wedged between its siblings (the streamlined all-suite Lungarno Suites and the newer, retro Continentale)." Full review
Rough Guide "In a small, quiet square a few paces from the Ponte Vecchio, this immensely stylish four-star is unlike any other hotel in central Florence."
Afar Magazine "The Gallery Hotel Art isn’t the flashiest stay, but it is the kind of place you can relax and unwind and feel like you aren’t living in the Renaissance days." Full review

Frommer's "Quirky, midsize, individual rooms in this palazzo turned chic, contemporary guesthouse come with stylized themes." Full review
Concierge "Casa Howard... invented the luxury Italian guesthouse... this discreet home-away-from-home exports that winning formula to Florence, offering high standards of comfort and service at great rates."
Lonely Planet "With six rooms, this is a delicious retreat near the train station."
Travel + Leisure "This affordable guesthouse... features 13 themed accommodations in a prime location near Santa Maria Novella church." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The individual, characterful rooms combine original features with modern furnishings."
Fodor's "This unassuming little inn has no two rooms alike, and an aura of eclectic funk pervades: one room takes its inspiration from Japan; others are geared to families." Full review
Afar Magazine "A guesthouse to its core, Casa Howard continues this Florentine tradition; there is neither lobby nor restaurant, and the husband-and-wife owners live in their own apartment here while in town." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"A stay at Casa Howard feels a bit like being the house guest of a rather eccentric but very stylish friend who has gone on holiday." Full review
