Hotel Porta Faenza

Beautiful Florentine hotel set just a short walk from both the station and the famous Florence central market. Traditional and comfortable with all modern comforts set in a historic building with authentic architectural features and antiques. We got a very warm welcome and even though we arrived well before check in time, it was no problem and a quick call was made to housekeeping to see if our room was ready. We decided to leave our luggage anyway and get out and explore. We booked a quadruple room as a family with two teens. The room was huge and looked exactly like the rooms do on the website. Spotlessly clean, with tea/ coffee/ kettle facilities, a safe in the wardrobe, a fridge/ minibar and complimentary toiletries in the bathroom, plus a huge flat screen on wall TV. The bathroom had both a walk in shower and a separate bathtub with a shower head facility built in. The room was comfortable and warm with a/c if necessary and had a lovely wooden parquet floor and painted panels on the ceiling. We booked the room with breakfast and the breakfast was delightful and delicious - Italian cakes and crostata, yogurt, cereals, fruit juice, various types of croissant as well as hams and eggs and bread and toasters. I don???t remember everything, but it surpassed all our expectations. Tea and all the variations of quality Italian coffee too. We had espresso and cappuccino. Nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were helpful, smiley and friendly from start to finish and we thoroughly recommend the hotel. We will definitely be back.

A great stay in a great hotel in a great location during our romantic engagement vacation. We were delighted to be greeted by a friendly & helpful staff - every individual we interacted with was wonderful. A comfortable room, nice and quiet with a comfortable bed - we rested very well. Breakfast included was a nice touch, with attentive staff offering fresh espressos, cappuccinos, and more! On our last day, it was very helpful that they held onto our luggage after we checked out until we left, as we had a time gap of several hours, so we were able to enjoy our final hours sight seeing. We would highly recommend.

3 rooms for 6 adults for 1 night. Nice, clean rooms. Very good breakfast buffet. Convenient to the main train station and to many sights in Florence. 2nd stay there in 7 years and would stay there again.
