Lofty ceilings, frescoed details and enormous beds may tempt guests to spend whole afternoons happily lounging here, but avoiding the city’s Tuscan charms is a challenge: outside, artisan-loved Oltrarno beckons with a bevy of piazzas, palazzos and perfectly formed eateries.
Afar Magazine "A stylish-yet-homely ‘Residenza d’Epoca’ housed in a 16th-century palazzo in Florence’s boho-chic Oltrarno neighbourhood...one of the nicest small hotels in Florence. " Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "The Oltrarno's boho, artisanal vibe makes it Florence's hottest neighborhood, and these super-stylish suites fit right into the hipster landscape." Full review
Fodor's "Funky, eclectic, and cool, Soprarno Suites is a rusticly-chic bed & breakfast with an ideal location." Full review

"A brilliant addition to the hotel scene, this boutique address squirrelled away in an Oltrarno courtyard creates an intimate home-from-home vibe while making it very clear each guest is special." Full review
Michelin Guide "The suites are more than spacious enough, and also more than comfortable enough, add to them the convenience of a library, a record collection...a very stylish, very civilized residential-style hotel." Full review
