Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A historic hotel on Piazza Santa Maria Novella, originally 19th-century and famously reworked by architect Carlo Scarpa, now blending mid-century glamour with contemporary rooms. Its rooftop pool and bar with Duomo views are a genuine rarity in the city. It suits travellers with a small dog who want a piazza-front location moments from the station.
