This was our favorite hotel in the 3 city visit. Super convenient to the train, in a lovely but not overcrowded square. Super attentive staff and front desk. Old European style. Walkable to most everything. Florence was sunny and exquisite.

It's great to be remembered

Greeted by an incredible, professional and friendly team, who remembered us from the last time we stayed at Hotel Santa Maria Novella (coming in from a long train ride, this moment brightened our day). Our room has a beautiful view of Santa Maria Novella and the square, full of great restaurant options, shops and sites (all in walking distance). The room itself is spacious, impeccable decor, comfortable and filled with all of the amenities. I might have a hard time leaving, this is such a great hotel filled with such wonderful people

Perfection!!

Hotel Santa Maria Novella is a charming boutique hotel. If you’re looking for beautiful details in every room, you’re in the right place. The hotel is gorgeous and the details are stunning. There’s a good view of the piazza, overlooking the chapel. Perfect location to walk anywhere you need to go in Florence. The service was amazing, and even reserved a nice restaurant for us. The complimentary breakfast is like no other. Overall amazing stay, highly recommend.

This is a great hotel and I highly recommend staying there. The staff was excellent and very helpful. Very close to the main train depot, within walking distance to the Accademia Gallery, many great restaurants nearby. The charm and decor of this place is remarkable. Breakfast was also very good.
