Hotel Palazzo Magnani Feroni (Florence, Italy)

Guests say they feel like royalty staying here amid all the antiques and frescoes. The hotel oozes Old World charm, and with just 12 suites, guests feel like they’ve got the place to themselves.

The hotel’s rooftop terrace features a bar where guests can savor a cocktail or glass of wine while overlooking the city of Florence. Many guests remark that the terrace and view were highlights of their visit.

Guests rave about the candle-lit breakfast served in the opulent dining room each morning. Some say it’s the best breakfast they had while in Italy with pastries, fried eggs, omelettes, and great cappuccino!

It’s not surprising that everyone wants to get up to the rooftop to take in the view, but some guests complain that there are many stairs to be climbed and it could be a difficult trip up for those with mobility issues.

Some guests say the hotel is hard to find when arriving by car and doesn’t show up correctly on GPS. Others recommend skipping a car if you don’t need it. Driving in Florence can be a challenge for those not used to the city and taxis and buses are readily available.

There are only 12 suites here and while some like the small size and the quiet atmosphere, others say they miss the liveliness of a larger hotel. And while the antiques are beautiful, some guests say they make the hotel feel a bit stuffy.
