This hotel was a treasure in Florence! I loved the beautiful gardens and had the most luxurious spa experience after a long day of sightseeing. The rooms were spacious, modern, and had stunning views, which made my stay even more memorable. However, I found breakfast a bit overwhelming with so many options, and I think they could streamline the process a bit. Overall, it was an excellent stay at a fantastic hotel.
