"The Oltrarno's boho, artisanal vibe makes it Florence's hottest neighborhood, and the SoprArno—occupying the top three floors of a townhouse—fits right into the hipster landscape. Rooms are filled with fabulous vintage finds, retro furniture, and original artwork that play off the townhouse's original architectural elements, including exposed wooden beams. All rooms are individually themed; for example, Viaggiatore, which means traveler, has gorgeous framed maps alongside well-designed furniture and huge beds. More guest house than hotel, don't miss breakfast—an excellent buffet with fresh pastries, fruit, and expert coffee—which is served in the ground-level Sott’Arno café, which is owned by SoprArno team Betty Soldi and Matteo Perduca. A local favorite, it's known for its great panini and gets busy in the afternoons and evenings." - Nicky Swallow, Erica Firpo
