This is a beautiful hotel with a nice breakfast and a gorgeous spa. You have to reserve the pool because it is small. The staff was very welcoming and our room was lovely with a little private patio area. It was in a great location too.

Easy transfer from airport; easy walking distance from attractions, restaurants & shopping areas. Also enjoyed the spa after a long days wandering. The garden was lovely & quiet after a busy, bustling day wandering the City.

I enjoyed my stay in this hotel, and I could recommend to everyone. Officially the breakfast serves from 7:30, but you may ask if you can have it start from 7:00 (actually I had it starting from 7:00)

I loved the rooms at this hotel as well as how accommodating the staff were. I felt line this hotel gave us a perfect balance of the modern feel mixed with the Italian feel. I also loved the location and being able to walk to restaurants and some nightlife. My only gripe with the hotel was that the breakfast was always cold no matter how early I went down. Maybe that’s the way Italians eat their breakfast but I wasn’t a fan of that. And lastly we paid for spa access and we did get that but access to a masseuse for two people seem a little limited during our short 4 day stay.

Excellent location. Lovely spa...need to book in advance. Shame it doesnt open in the morning. Fabulous breakfast with great selection. We also had afternoon tea included. Staff very polite helpful and accommodating. Room was a little on the small side for a superior room. Great location can walk to all attractions. Recommend this hotel.

Staff was very friendly and lovely. Room was much smaller than it appeared in photos. There was mildew in the shower which was off putting. Room also smelled like smoke, and air conditioning turned off when key card wasn’t inserted, so upon arrival the smell was very strong. Not an awful experience, but don’t think I would go again.

Amazing
We had an amazing time. 7 glorious days. When we checked in, it was in the middle of a heat wave. The air-conditioning in one of the rooms was struggling and sounded like a muted car alarm, but the staff were amazing and moved our daughter to a temporary room for one night and then a permanent room for the remainder of our stay. That was the only blip and it was fixed instantly. Perfect The staff were amazing. So friendly. They helped us with our Italian. The location was perfect. The garden and spa were great. The breakfast was also next level and a perfect start to the day. By the end of our stay the staff knew our coffee orders. Thank you! Even though we have now done most of the sites in Florence we will probably go again because of the hotel.

Great location. Everything is within walking distance. Location is a 7 min walk to the train station. Close to all tourist attractions yet in a quiet location. The half board for those that were like me includes both breakfast and dinner. At dinner you can also ask for the lunch menu is you want a simpler option. The service was fantastic. The room was clean. Highly recommend!! And a huge shout out to Camilla the night server who is absolutely amazing.

We stayed at the Palazzo Castri 1874 for 4 nights in May 2023. Easy walk from Santa Maria Novella train station. Nice view of the Duomo from our room. Really good included breakfast every morning. Spa looked fantastic, although we didn't have a chance to use it. Pretty good location. Clean rooms.

The property is cute. Guest room was very small and bathroom glass door panel provides little privacy. Do not recommend the half board option as the dinner menu is limited and there are numerous good restaurants within walking distance.
