Spitting distance pretty much sums up this sweet, little one-star, which sits in close proximity to the Santa Maria Novella Church. Needless to say, its views are none too shabby!
The slightly faded entryway is utterly misleading. The 14 rooms upstairs are bright, colorful, and clean! Owner Sandro has cleaned out the local IKEA, with no gusto to spare. Original 19th-century tile floors and extraordinarily high ceilings are a perfect backdrop for fluffy down comforters, light pressed wood furniture, giant paintings in flower motifs, and some framed reproductions of easily recognizable works of modern art.
While some rooms come without en suite bath, they've got cute, mosaic-accented sinks for an evening scrub down. We loved the cool purple skylight on the top floor, and the tiny balconies with their killer views of the church across the street.
This hotel is budget done just right, with all the key amenities and features, and at rates that won't have you recoiling.
