I recently spent some time in Florence on a vacation with friends. We stayed at Hotel Principe, as my good friend spends a lot of time in Italy on business and has always raved about this hotel. Needless to say , I was not at all disappointed. Not only was the staff and family absolutely charming and professional, but they... more

I stayed there for three days out of my thirteen day travel of Italy, and this was by far the most amazing service and hospitality I experienced. I originally chose this hotel because it was closest to the American Counselate, and I was in a situation with a temporarily-lost family member. I am so glad It happened to be the... more

We stayed in the hotel for 3 nights. Yhe atmosphere there is fantastic. The hotel is comfotable and pleasent. The crew is kind and worm and makes the stay there very pleasent.

The Principe's big plusses are a beautiful interior, great views from the roof and most of the rooms, very nice staff, and a safe 10 minute walk to most central Florence attractions. Check the hotel's website (easily found via Google) as I found some good deals posted there. A few cautionary notes: The hotel is inside the ZTL/restricted driving zone,... more

My family and I stayed at the Principe in mid July 2008, and our stay was outstanding. Giuliano Nissi, the proprietor and his excellent staff made us feel most welcome and accommodated our visit in every way. We will most definitely stay at the Principe on our next visit to Florence. We highly recommend this hotel! more

On arrival we were allocated a room with terrace overlooking the Arno, which was a lovely surprise. The hotel decor was quite dated and our room was a little shabby although spotlessly clean; we stayed for 4 nights and the bed linen was changed... more

We stayed in the Principe for one night and were very impressed. It's ideally located close to the city centre and also overlooking the river. It also has car parking, which is a big plus. The owners were incredibly welcoming and friendly. We were offered the choice of two rooms, which we were shown. What other hotels would do this?... more

I have just returned from 15 days in Florence and Tuscany. I stayed at the Hotel Principe for 8 nights. This was my second time at the Principe and I highly recommend it. It is ideally located, includes beautiful views of the Arno and is surrounded by a wonderful walled garden. Most importantly, this family run establishment welcomes you into... more

Don't miss this jewel!! The owners are a family and they are willing to share all the history of the villa which dates from1850 and was built... more
