Hotel Cerretani Firenze - MGallery Collection

Staying at Hotel Cerretani Firenze - MGallery Collection was an absolute delight. The service was impeccable, with attention to detail that truly stood out—especially the warm and genuine interactions with the staff. Complimentary mini-bar and afternoon tea were a lovely touch, and we loved the nightly welcome treats and personalized note in the room. The only tiny issue was a small three-legged table that wasn’t perfectly stable, but honestly, it’s such a minor thing and didn’t take away from the overall experience. The location is fantastic—just a short metro ride to the city center—and the atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Florence. A perfect blend of charm, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality.

Villa Cora

Staying at Villa Cora was an absolute delight from start to finish. The central courtyard is breathtaking—perfectly designed with a timeless elegance that makes you feel like you're in a hidden gem of Tuscany. Located on a hillside, it’s a bit removed from the main tourist spots, but not too far—just a short, scenic run down to Piazzale Michelangelo, which made for a lovely morning workout with stunning views along the way. Currently, there’s only one restaurant on-site, serving breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, varied, and beautifully presented. Dinner was enjoyable but nothing extraordinary. What truly stands out is the exceptional service: staff are attentive, warm, and genuinely go the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. The outdoor pool area is serene and perfect for relaxing, and I imagine dining by the water would be even more magical at sunset. Despite being slightly off the beaten path, the peaceful atmosphere, beautiful setting, and top-tier hospitality make this hotel a standout choice. Highly recommend for travelers seeking authenticity and charm.

The Arno River view from my premium room was absolutely worth the price, offering a perfect sightline to the iconic Ponte Vecchio.
