Review by hotel critic
Throughout my stay, I was immersed in a unique blend of traditional and modern elements within the walls of the ancient Convent of Santa Maria Novella. The hotel's fusion of historical significance with contemporary amenities was truly captivating. As an art historian, the stunning Medici palace showcased paintings by renowned artists such as Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Da Vinci, adding a touch of cultural richness to my accommodation.Navigating through the city was seamless, thanks to the clear signage directing me to the city center, just 9 km away. The road's preferential lane for buses only facilitated efficient transportation, enhancing the overall convenience of exploring the area.Inside, contrasting blue floral curtains and prints of famous artworks created a vibrant atmosphere. The staff was notably helpful, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience. The garage's electronic access system, though requiring a nominal fee per transit authorization, added a layer of security and convenience to my stay.The harmonious coexistence of history and modernity at this establishment truly elevated my overall experience, making it a memorable and enriching stay.
