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."

Concierge "A takeover by Spanish hotel group NH has brought the place up to international standards, forfeiting some of its individuality in the process."
DK Eyewitness "While the current building dates from 1500, documents confirm that a hotel stood here as early as 1386, making this one of Italy’s oldest hotels."
Rough Guide "It retains something of its old ambience while the rooms have been fitted out in crisp but luxuriously modern style."
