When to go: Avoid August (it's hot and full of tourists) and January (cold and damp).
Insight Guides "Recently restored by the stylish Baglioni group, this is an intimate palazzo for dangerous liaisons, with expansively opulent rooms that are matched by a noted restaurant, Guelfi e Ghibellini."
DK Eyewitness "This wonderful hotel, in an 18th-century palazzo, is just a short stroll from Michelangelo’s house. Most of its luxurious rooms overlook the street."
Condé Nast Traveler "This seventeenth-century residence in Florence’s trendy Santa Croce neighborhood has been deftly converted into an upscale 24-room hotel with a contemporary flair." Full review
Star Service "In a beautiful but boisterous location one block north of the Santa Croce Church, a 10-to-15-minute walk from the Duomo or the Arno, this is a petite patrician palace with elegantly restored interiors." Full review
Rough Guide "This magnificent five-star shares a lobby with the mind-blowingly expensive Pinchiorri restaurant. and is a similarly top-flight establishment."
Jetsetter "Ornate former palazzo with fabulous views of the Duomo and Santa Croce basilica in Florence's historic heart." Full review
