"Hotel L'Orologio is a two-minute walk away, and yet such is the compact geography of central Florence that you're in one of the city's most charming, historic, and tranquil piazzas."
Star Service
"This place arrived on the scene with the kind of quality and attention to detail usually reserved for the Ferragamos' small cast of hip high-end hotels nearer the Arno."
