We were getting into Florence from Venice about 2 hours before our check in but Conte was able to get us in early. The location is great! Away from most of the hustle and bustle of the main area of the city, yet close enough that you are only a short walk from it. Bonus was the patio at the top of the building. There was nothing better than a shower right before dinner, having a glass of wine while seeing a beautiful view of the city and mountains surrounding you. There's steps, so be prepare to climb, but i'd like to just think that they were helping me make some room for all the yummy treats I was enjoying throughout the day. Definitely recommend!
