"Deftly decorated with a confident medley of vintage finds, handcrafted furniture and Vermeer-inspired mirrors, boutique B&B Soprarno Suites is as stylish as Florence palazzo boltholes get." Full review

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.

The street noise gets through even the double glazing, so light sleepers will want to request a room off the road.
