"This renovated historic "palazzetto" in Florence's less touristy Oltrarno neighborhood has just seven rooms, each decorated with different floral and botanical printed fabrics, antique decor, and funky-cool furniture. Our favorite rooms overlook the shady, stone-paved garden. They've got all the basics: free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, air conditioning (not always a given in Europe), and laundry service. There's an honesty bar in the living room stocked with drinks and snacks, and having breakfast in that garden is just dreamy. This is an elegant, unfussy hotel for people who want to see the cooler side of Florence." - Nicky Swallow, Erica Firpo
