I used to stay at a high-end hotel in the city center. The interior was very Italian with antique furnishings, and the concierge and breakfast were wonderful. This time, I was looking for a simple, clean, American-style interior along the Arno River.
I decided to go to Florence at the last minute and spent a lot of time arranging flights and transfers. I was looking for hotels based on interior photos from package deals, and saw many reviews saying 'I want to stay here again!' The location also seemed good. So, instead of a flight and hotel package, I decided to book just the hotel. Even though I was traveling alone, there was an available room with twin beds (offering more space), a bathtub, and a view of the sky, so I booked it. I paid the same day and even got a service discount.
Upon arriving at the hotel, I was surprised to find it right after crossing Ponte Vecchio! It's a small B&B hotel with six floors, but it's conveniently designed with free spaces on the second and sixth floors. Breakfast is on the sixth floor, where you get a picturesque view of the Duomo, Florence's iconic landmark. Every morning, while enjoying that view, two kind staff members made me cappuccino. I truly found the perfect hotel.
