It's great to be remembered

Greeted by an incredible, professional and friendly team, who remembered us from the last time we stayed at Hotel Santa Maria Novella (coming in from a long train ride, this moment brightened our day). Our room has a beautiful view of Santa Maria Novella and the square, full of great restaurant options, shops and sites (all in walking distance). The room itself is spacious, impeccable decor, comfortable and filled with all of the amenities. I might have a hard time leaving, this is such a great hotel filled with such wonderful people

Perfection!!

Hotel Santa Maria Novella is a charming boutique hotel. If you’re looking for beautiful details in every room, you’re in the right place. The hotel is gorgeous and the details are stunning. There’s a good view of the piazza, overlooking the chapel. Perfect location to walk anywhere you need to go in Florence. The service was amazing, and even reserved a nice restaurant for us. The complimentary breakfast is like no other. Overall amazing stay, highly recommend.

Fine boutique hotel in Florence.

This is surely among the finest boutique hotels in Florence... wonderful location, immaculate building rich in white marble and fine woods, and most important warm, sincere, professional hospitality by the entire staff. The price was surprisingly modest all considered (we visited in mid-winter). Hint... if you have trouble sleeping, chose a room off the SM Novella square.

We love this hotel! We will always recommend this place to our families and friends; every time we stay in Florence this is our spot! You get amazing breakfast, kind and tentative housekeeping, and kind service from all staff. Water is included in your stay as well as a bottle of wine. The location is great. We are amazed with this hotel and we cannot wait for our next stay!
