帕拉索維奇耶堤德波卡住宅酒店(Palazzo Vecchietti)

Ideal location and impeccable service. Beautiful boutique hotel with every detail considered and taken care of from the spacious and tasteful rooms to a fabulous breakfast that can be delivered to your room to the complimentary after dinner drinks in the lobby. Located immediately adjacent to Piazza de la Republica, the hotel is an ideal base for exploring Florence. And the staff makes great dinner recommendations and reservations. This hotel is absolutely first class.

Very good and charismatic place right in the middle of everything in Florence: shops, museums and restaurants, you can get anywhere within few minutes of walking. The front desk in very limited time arranged for us a short (we stayed 4 nights only), but not easy to execute program including a day in Chianti with 2 private winery visits (wineries from my list) and provided us with plenty restaurant recommendations. Which truth be told turned out to be better than couple of restaurants we found ourselves searching and reading reviews. The minuses. We were staying in a suite on the 2nd floor, which in Vecchietti is actually quite high due to high ceilings on each floor. The windows were to a side street and upon arrival we were assured that the windows are soundproof. But every night we were woken-up several times first by various partygoers returning back to the hotels/apar**ents and next by communal services collecting the garbage. The shower is tiny, has stone tiles floor and a big window that saw better times, which is letting in plenty of air from the outside. Even sitting on the toilet, which is located next to the shower door, (excuse me for details) one can feel cold air blowing from the shower door, which can’t be closed completely. On top of that one of the maids always found it a good idea to leave that window open for the whole day after leaving the room doing the cleaning. This being in November already. So, going into that shower was an ordeal every time.

From the moment you enter this refurbished 700 year old building you feel like a special guest. We were greeted by Luca, who spent much time with us mapping out our agenda that wasn’t already planned in Florence. He made restaurant recommendations and reservations. Everything recommended was great. All employees of this hotel were equally helpful and attentive. Every detail is taken into account. A beautiful breakfast was included everyday. Our room was upgraded and was a beautiful luxurious suite. I hope to come back here at some point. It was a wonderful experience.

We had a lovely four-night stay in Palazzo Vecchio. The hotel is entirely as promised in other reviews: beautiful, compelling, and beautifully run. The staff were uniformly excellent; special shout outs to Tommaso and Luca. The location is spectacular! Breakfast was elegantly presented, if a bit monotonous day over day.Wi-Fi was a bit weak in our room, but may have improved over our stay. My only suggestion for improvement: better communication ahead of arrival. For example, I needed a recommendation for airport transfers, and did not succeed in getting recommendations from the hotel. Thank you, Palazzo Vecchietti!
