When to go: Avoid August (it's hot and full of tourists) and January (cold and damp).
Insight Guides
"Recently restored by the stylish Baglioni group, this is an intimate palazzo for dangerous liaisons, with expansively opulent rooms that are matched by a noted restaurant, Guelfi e Ghibellini."
DK Eyewitness
"This wonderful hotel, in an 18th-century palazzo, is just a short stroll from Michelangelo’s house. Most of its luxurious rooms overlook the street."
Condé Nast Traveler
"This seventeenth-century residence in Florence’s trendy Santa Croce neighborhood has been deftly converted into an upscale 24-room hotel with a contemporary flair."
