Grand Hotel Baglioni
Our stay was ALMOST perfect. We got the wellness suite, and the sauna was broken for our entire stay.

Bernini Palace
Our favorite in Florence. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We went to Cortona for a week and bookended our stay at Bernini. The staff arranged for us to pick up and drop off a rental car at the hotel, made everything super easy. Can’t say enough great things.
