Palazzo Salviati Quaratesi

Everything was lovely and clean. The stairs are a factor for some people so that should be mentioned in description of property.

The property was very conveniently located, providing easy access to numerous restaurants, shops, and historical sites. The rooms were spacious; ours had a beautiful fresco painted on the ceiling, reminiscent of the many churches we visited. The air conditioning was able to run while we were not in our room, so it kept cool for our return each visit. The negative aspects of our visit were (1) we were on the 3rd floor, 71 steps to our room with no elevator, and carrying luggage for 2 weeks was quite a haul, (2) the shower was plenty large, but it would not drain well, (3) the noise from the partiers on the streets below was endless on Thursday and Friday nights. The biggest issue in the city, not related to the hotel, was being able to hail a taxi. This was nearly impossible. Be sure and figure out how you plan to get around when leaving to another destination with all your luggage. Give plenty of time to exhaust your options, including having to walk for 30-45 minutes to the train station.

Location - good. Close enough to major attractions and local hidden gems. I bit of a walk to the station but not terrible. Staff - only saw them when checking in and they were straight forward. Room - we were on the very last room upstairs and even tho it was clean and the biggest shower in Italy, I had the worst allergies while staying here. The WiFi didn’t even covered all the way up. I had to come and sit on the stairway to get any signal.

The perfect location for a stay in Florence with all the main attractions within 15 minute walk, some fantastic restaurants within 2 minute walk. We loved the spacious room and fantastic bathroom.
