Located
on the fourth and fifth floors of a 15th century palazzo on elegant
Via Tornabuoni (THE shopping street in Florence), this is a
long-established pensione with a turn of the century atmosphere.
Decorations and furnishings are old-fashioned but well-maintained,
like the house of a maiden aunt. Due to its positioning on the
top two floors of a palazzo, the hotel is filled with light and
remarkably quiet - it feels as if nothing has changed for since
it opened, (no televisions or piped music). The staff are incredibly
friendly and the owner-managers Mr & Mrs Bechi have been
here for generations.
Rooms are simple and traditionally decorated,
some can be a bit poky so ask for a deluxe when booking. There
are a number of
public rooms: a small sunny dining room where breakfast takes
place, a bar for an pre-dinner glass of prossecco that leads
onto a very attractive quiet, sunny flower filled terrace overlooking
Florence. Bathrooms are in need of updating but apart from
that this really is your typical well-run Florentine pensione.
