Michelin Guide "This hotel has been built up around a medieval tower. There is a fine view of the Ponte Vecchio from the flower-fi lled terrace and from some of the attractively furnished rooms."
Concierge "The real calling cards of the Continentale are its impeccable service, neither overfamiliar nor overformal, and its panoramic rooftop chill-out terrace."
DK Eyewitness "This trendy, contemporary hotel is designed to impress. The entrance lobby features installations by the leading Italian artist, Fabrizio Corneli."
Condé Nast Traveler "This hotel’s couldn’t-be-better location in the heart of Florence means that its rooftop bar has incomparable 360-degree views of the Palazzo Vecchio, the Duomo... and the Ponte Vecchio." Full review
Star Service "Although the facilities here are fun and fashionable, standards and service are not always fairly reflected in the rack rates. Still, discounted packages appeal to flush hipsters." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The 43-room, Ferragamo-owned Continentale has an unbeatable location right over the Ponte Vecchio, and a hip vibe with retro overtones." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Perhaps the most playfully chic of the six Florentine properties in Leonardo Ferragamo’s Lungarno group, the Continentale occupies an enviable position overlooking the Ponte Vecchio." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "A modern counterpoint to the classic pensiones of Florence, the hotel Continentale is a high-fashion, Ferragamo-designed retreat overlooking the ancient Arno River and medieval streets below." Full review
Afar Magazine "Inspired by a later Italian renaissance ... the sleek and understated hotel is a hideaway in the heart of Florence’s historic tourist center." Full review
Fodor's "Chic and sleek boutique that leans into the concept of Dolce Vita with a late 1950s sensibility...classy and cool, this hotel will inspire you to dress, eat, and play like the fashionable Italian." Full review
