Each of the 8 rooms and suites is individually decorated in a contemporary style with vintage touches and designer furnishings. Some rooms feature a balcony or terrace with a river view.
The hotel features a beautiful garden, where guests can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the property. Other facilities include a shared lounge area, a library, and a bar. A continental breakfast is served daily, and guests can enjoy a range of drinks and snacks throughout the day.
The hotel is located in a quiet residential area, just a short walk from the historic center of Florence. It is well connected to the rest of the city by public transport, and many of the city's top attractions, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Duomo, are within easy reach.
