Botticelli - Florence, Italy 

we transferred to this hotel our final night in florence after a/c problems at the B&B we had been booked at. location wasn't quite as convenient as our initial B&B but it wasn't horribly out of the way nor were we disturbed by the bells in giotto's tower in the morning. overall, i preferred this location. this is the 3rd hotel i've stayed at in florence and is by far the best. the rooms were much quieter and a little more luxurious than the other places i stayed in florence. the food offered for breakfast was also much better. prices were only slightly higher and certainly worth it. the woman at the front desk was a sweetheart - she gave special attention to my 6 year old and gave him a tourist book about florence (published by disney for kids) so he could learn more about the city. after the problems we had had at our previous hotel, moving to this hotel really made our final night in florence much better. i would certainly stay here again next time i'm in florence.

Looking for a small, centrally located hotel in the historic area, we were thrilled upon our arrival in Florence to be greeted by courteous and helpful staff at the Hotel Botticelli. The room was comfortable and clean, the air conditioning nice and cool, the ensuite bathrooms large and convenient, and the complimentary breakfast tasty. As we had many sights to see on our list, the location was perfectly situated within walking distance of all our destinations. I was able to contact the multi-lingual staff via e-mail prior to arrival and they were wonderful in assisting with other reservations. They went out of their way to help us track down the 'best pizza in Florence', and assisted with every detail such as coordinating train schedules (in English for us!) We felt very secure walking at any time to and from the hotel, and we loved greeting each morning in Florence by opening the shutters and listening to the bells of the cathedral. We have recommended the hotel and its location to several friends, and look forward to returning soon. A wonderful hotel at just the right location and price.
