About the location
Holidays in Florence allow you to experience one of Europe’s most culturally and historically significant cities. Florence is a vibrant city nestled among the idyllic green hills of Tuscany. It retains a sense of intimacy and romance thanks to its relatively small size, while also offering a remarkable selection of museums, galleries, and restaurants, which continue to impress even the most regular visitor. Every stroll has the potential for something remarkable, whether it’s peering out of the Vasari Corridor or wandering across the Giardino di Boboli. Alternatively, for those looking to relax, there are beautiful vistas to be seen while enjoying a rooftop aperitivi in the evening.
Perhaps most known for its remarkable historical architecture, you will easily find renowned pieces of art by famous artists such as Filippo Brunelleschi, Leon Battista Alberti, and Michelangelo throughout the city. Florence continues to celebrate this tradition with impressive modern buildings, notably The New Florence Opera House, maintaining the city’s reputation as a marvel from every angle. Any visiting foodies will undoubtedly revel in Florence’s food culture, from its seven Michelin starred restaurants to the brilliant bustle of the Mercato Centrale. For peaceful and romantic retreats, there are numerous opportunities for short trips to the surrounding landscapes and towns, allowing for blissful escapes into
Italy’s rural life.

The location is quite convenient, walking distance from downtown and just on the border of the restricted access area. A near by garage is available (Not cheap however).
The room was very large with fridge, complimentary coffee/tea and a large tv.
Personnel nice and professional.
Wifi included in the price of good quality.
I'm not evaluating the breakfast, the post-virus rules were quite strict on separating the items and avoiding buffet, it couldn't have been "pleasant", not their fault, thus.

Ciao tours booked this hotel for our stay in Florence. My daughter and her family stayed at the same place last year. You are about a 5-8 min walk from the train station. Only problem we had besides Coronavirus shutting everything down on 2nd day there was Via Faenza was having sewage and water pipes installed - not fault of hotel. It was a little difficult pulling luggage through the construction site especially if you met someone coming from the opposite way - no room.
The staff we met were very helpful and we had room 211. The room was an upgrade and very nicely appointed. The bed, to us, was very comfortable and no problem with smells etc. We were facing the street so some noise could be heard but it didn't bother. The breakfast was substantial, probably the best we had in Italy. Considering the coronavirus and the lack of guests for most hotels, Porta did nice job of providing food. They also had cookies, sandwiches etc in lobby for you if you wanted one. Cookies were very good.
Location - about 10-15 minutes from Uffzi and same for Petti Palace. The Duomo was probably 10 minutes with the square very close. A Phone with maps is a good option for walking in Florence even though it has very good signage.
Strongly recommend this hotel as did our daughter and grandkids did.
Staff very helpful, we booked our early departure from Italy and they helped us print off information. Staff were very very kind.

We stayed here two nights in February. Staff was wonderful???fast, easy check in. They had complimentary sandwiches and juice available in the lobby in the afternoons. They also had ice water available at all times. No issues with the room, had good night sleep. Bath had a shower and tub and plenty of hot water. Room was a bit warm so we opened the window and there were a few mosquitos in room the morning we left.
The breakfast was good, the basics. Location was great, we walked to everything. Ten minute walk to train station.
