I highly recommend the Relais Berardi for anyone wishing to stay in the heart of Florence in a location with charming features. The location is near the river, in an area with many high-end shops. The are plenty of good restaurants nearby. The major tourist attractions are all within walking distance.
The apartments are all well appointed with everything you need. They are well kept and clean. The rooms are large, and there is plenty of closet space. Each unit also includes a clothes washer. The staff is very helpful, and close-by if any need arises. Great place to stay in Florence.
