The hotel is beautiful. We checked in early to find out we had been assigned 302 across from the elevator which according to the map of the floor as the noisiest and the smallest room. We asked to be moved and the desk said they would “try”. Sorely disappointed.

We loved everything about this hotel! The stunning room, the beauty, the breakfast, the drinks, the spa & the kindness of every staff member we spoke to! Everyone went completely above and beyond to make sure our visit was the absolute best! We have travelled quite a bit & I would honestly say this is one of, if not the, top hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The bed & the pillows are a great test of a good hotel, and believe me, they did not disappoint! Please do not believe the negative reviews you read regarding this beautiful hotel; they cannot be from anyone that stated here. We cannot wait return to La Gemme!

This was our fourth and final time staying at this hotel. Front desk staff was not helpful (almost rude)and it would have been nice to get some kind of recognition for our loyalty. All high end hotels are proud to say that their guests are loyal. Not La Gemma.Our room was tiny and extremely noisy . Still a very well maintained hotel in an excellent location.

Wow what a stay! Expertly designed, curated, and comfortable. Hotel La Gemma is in the heart of Florence but still tucked on. quiet side street to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city. Would immediately stay again.

Location was perfect. While the main rooms on the property are nicely done, the guest rooms are run down: wall sconces were falling out of the walls, garbage pail was broken, the walls had scuff marks and peeling paint and dirt, the carpet in our room was very dirty, the hallways are carpeted and a terrible smell of mildew emanated from them. We appreciated the free refill of the mini bar, although this was not done each day of our stay. Hotel staff was inattentive and while polite, didn’t do much to ensure we had a fabulous or memorable stay. We requested an extra luggage stand twice and never got one, we just gave up. Disappointing overall as the rates are very expensive. Might be rated five star but definitely not five star accommodations and service. We will not be recommending or returning the next time we are in Florence.

Unforgettable experience

Hotel La Gemma is one of THE best hotels we have ever stayed at. The warmth of everyone who worked there was amazing, including the owners. The drinks delightedly refreshing and delish. Don't forget to ask about the stories behind them. Beds super comfortable and great for afternoon naps to get away from the heat. We might fly back to Florence just to stay here again. Can't wait to stay at other hotels from the Cecchi family!
