This place is of extremely high quality. We had the fortune of being the very 2nd guest since it was reopened after a 3 year renovation (so not all facilities were on line yet, such as the sauna) and yet found the hotel one of the best we have ever seen! First of all, the quality of service is very high and professional. The fact that it's a small hotel makes the staff much more friendlier compared to the large and professional places like Four Seasons or St. Regis. Also, the property itself is very historical and amazingly decorated (most of it in its original form from 19th century) so you get a very pleasant atmosphere. While it's not walking distance to central Florence, they provided a luxury car service to the town every day so it was easy to commute. And lastly, their restaurant was pretty good. We had a fantastic dinner there one night (Our special thanks to the hotel's finest waiter - Mr. J. Pietro!) I recommend this place to everyone who wants to have a high class stay in Florence in tune with its history, at a reasonable price...
