Concierge "Hotel L'Orologio is a two-minute walk away, and yet such is the compact geography of central Florence that you're in one of the city's most charming, historic, and tranquil piazzas."
Star Service "This place arrived on the scene with the kind of quality and attention to detail usually reserved for the Ferragamos' small cast of hip high-end hotels nearer the Arno." Full review
Fodor's "The owner of this quietly understated, elegant hotel has a real passion for watches, which is why he chose to name his hotel after them (and why you will see them in many places)." Full review

"This luxurious property, part of the Why The Best chain, is central to many of the city’s attractions, especially the Santa Maria Novella church." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"One of the city’s best four-star choices. A standout feature is the fourth-floor breakfast room with its bird’s-eye view of Piazza Santa Maria Novella." Full review
Lonely Planet "The type of seductive address James Bond would feel right at home in, this super-stylish hotel oozes panache." Full review
Frommer's "As the name suggests, this hotel is an homage to the clock, with historic timepiece designs scattered artfully about." Full review
Michelin Guide "A stylish and contemporary boutique hotel...it’s a high-end experience, to be sure, though not an entirely self-contained one; the lounge bar serves light fare all day." Full review

"This former convent turned boutique hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the city's main attractions. ... Most guest rooms have a disappointingly stark appearance." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A 16th-century convent is now this superb hotel. The large rooms, some of which are on two levels, are all decorated differently."
Star Service "In a relatively quiet residential neighborhood, around the corner from the superior Monna Lisa, with its elegant and whimsical interiors, this property moves in a more contemporaneous direction." Full review

The off-track location provides guests with glimpses of day-to-day Florentine life that many tourists never see, but make sure to pack mosquito repellent.
Rough Guide "Some rooms are vast split-level affairs, but all have charm and are furnished with modern fittings and a few antiques."
Fodor's "On a quiet street within walking distance of the sights sits this unusual hotel, a converted 16th-century convent." Full review
Jetsetter "An inviting room in a former 16th-century convent, walking distance from Florence's stunning cathedral." Full review
