Ponte Vecchio Suites & Spa

Well Done!

I chose to stay here, of all the many, many hotels in Florence, because of the excellent reviews on Trip-advisor, even so it exceeded my expectations and truly enhanced my stay. My suite had a comfortable living room, kitchen and enormous bed, with an excellent shower and jacuzzi bath. Prior to arrival the hotel kindly sent a list of restaurant recommendations, and I had a week of outstanding evening meals, authentic food and reasonable pricing, none more than minutes from the hotel. Their established reputation in the area also served me well, when there was a small issue with my booking at Stanley Tucci’s favourite restaurant the highly popular Osteria del Cinghiale Bianco and the owner went above and beyond to help. The hotel is just steps from the Ponte Vecchio, the Palacio Vecchio and the Uffizi. I took advantage of the short walk to book for early opening at the Uffizi at 8.15 and saw it in all its glory all but deserted. There is also a decent sized supermarket just by the bridge for any bits as well as some reputable leather and ceramic shops, excellent sandwiches and proper gelato. Breakfast has a delicious choice of sweet and savoury items, fresh each day and each guest is invited to what was called snacks and a glass of processo, but was almost enough food for dinner! However, the hotel’s greatest asset is its small size and its individual care for its guests. Every guest passing the front desk is greeted and asked how they are. When I mentioned I didn’t drink the unlimited coffee, but would like some milk for tea, it appeared at once, I also appreciated being greeted with a refreshing drink on arrival and the citrus and mint infused water available each evening in the lobby was delicious. If I needed a taxi it was never more than two minutes away. Best of all though, was the friendly team of Marco, Olga, Alina, Adriano and Tatiana, who would always greet me with smiles, and were proud and happy to share their knowledge of Florence and chat about my experiences in their beautiful city. Thank you all so much for a wonderful visit.

I have visited this hotel 5 times now, and I can call it my home in Florence and the place I pick for my regular visits to this beautiful city. First, location is great, just a few minutes walk from all the main attractions and is surrounded by many delicious restaurants. I love breakfast here, as it has plenty of sweet and savory choices. The breakfast staff is friendly and attentive to my needs. The cleaning service is spotless and punctual. The Executive Suite I usually book is comfortable and has everything I could need for a long stay, including a well served kitchenette and a large bathroom with shower and spa tub. But the main reason to come back here is the front desk staff, who are always looking out for me, ready to go out of their way to help. As a senior solo female traveler, safety and comfort are my priorities and I always feel taken care of here. Looking forward to my next trip!

It was a nice small boutique hotel, location was great, close to everything & many restaurants to select. Our executive suite was very clean & spacious (in Italian standards), more importantly the bed was very comfortable including the sofa bed. Breakfast was ok, but the breakfast sitting area was quite tight.

Second time here and loved it just as much as the first time. Clean, Modern, Great Staff, Great Complimentary Breakfast and Best location on the quiet side of the Arno.
