Since we had walked about 100 miles in 8 days were pretty neat up and hoping for more of a deep tissue massage, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options out here, and this spa only had 3 massage options: relaxing oil, reflexology, or thai. The massage we received were relaxing and very good. Perfect if that's what you're looking for.

Breakfast was amazing with fantastic and engaging staff. The hotel is located in a quieter area than most of the tourist attractions, which was a bonus for a quieter, more relaxing stay. Restaurants, a small supermarket, and public transportation were nearby and easily accessible. We hope to stay again on a future trip to Florence!

They have a 24/7 concierge who helped us call cabs and give us suggestions. The location is away from the main hustle and bustle but close enough to walk to everything. The bed was bigger than the beds usually are in Italy and it was also comfortable. We could not hear any noises from the lobby or the street from our room. The ambiance was elegant and everything was super clean. They have a full hotel bar and breakfast in the morning. The breakfast here is delicious! They have a buffet style option AND they also offer items off of a breakfast menu for free. I'd highly suggest the banana Nutella French toast and vegetarian omelette. They also have a spa downstairs with a sauna, a steam room, infrared showers, a quite room, and a sitting pool. If I come back to Florence again I will definitely be staying here.

As a tired tourist in need of some TLC, I decided to give Shiatsu a try. I requested an appointment…read morevia Yelp and Maria, the owner and sole massage therapist, quickly responded so that my travel friend and I were able to see her later that same day. In our correspondence Maria was clear about the cost of the treatment and what to expect - 1 hour, wear comfortable clothes, Shiatsu is a Japanese pressure point massage. That said, I knew not to expect a feel-good deep tissue massage. For those familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu is like an acupuncture treatment except it uses fingers instead of needles to treat your ailments (which include many problems besides sore muscles). So to begin the treatment, Maria asked me about any specific issues I wanted to address - tight shoulders, trouble sleeping. Maria has a gentle touch and she has a beautiful treatment room with Zen decor which makes for a relaxing experience. Though I wanted to stay awake to appreciate her technique, I found myself lulled into a half-asleep trance, just as I do during acupuncture treatments. This is how I know her treatment was effective. For other non-Italian visitors, Maria is very friendly and speaks English well (she seems to receive many tourists has her clientele). I was her last client for the day and she spent some time chatting with me afterwards. She recommended a nearby restaurant and dishes to try. Thus, that night I both ate well and slept well. Thanks, Maria!

Davide was an outstanding massage therapist. I was in Firenze for a month for my arts/drawing…read moreprogram. I arrived jetlagged from the United States and with the workload and walking and learning new physical skills -- my body was getting a lot of tension. Davide helped me SO much. I must have emailed 5-6 people before arriving -- I knew I'd need a massage therapist while in Florence -- and Davide was very punctual, professional and clear. I love that he comes to you. After a day of walking, standing, drawing, painting and at the art gallery, last thing I wanted to do was walk to a massage studio. He came to me. As others have mentioned, Davide is very punctual, responsible, and kind. I must have gotten around 8 massages from him in my month here -- varying from 1.5 hours to 2 hours in length (I prefer longer massages). He was on time every time, he was consistent, very professional -- and, also, great massage! I was at a rented apartment so as a guy I was worried if it was going to be weird with another guy coming over to massage you. It shouldn't be but you know what I mean. I've had female massage therapists come give me professional massages before but never men. It was never awkward or anything like that. Davide was very professional, everything was perfect -- and great massages! I was having some muscle spasms in my upper back from tension, then had issues with my calves and hamstrings at other times, he was very accomodating and addressed those. I think I got three massages from Davide in my first week here. In the last week I needed only one. Davide was essential in helping my body to relax after a very intense day of learning new and very physical skill. He was the utmost professional -- reliable, polite, punctual and great massage therapists. He was an essential part of me learning new skills in Firenze, I thank him in helping me recover. He definitely is the most professional massage therapist in Florence plus a good man and genuine person! I will see him again when I return to Firenze in a few months and I recommend him highly.
