My stay at Casa Uffizi was a good experience. The location was unbeatable, just steps away from the Uffizi Gallery and the Piazza Signoria, which made exploring Florence a breeze.

I had a good stay at Casa Uffizi XIII Century Tower House, a charming and characterful retreat. While finding the hotel was quite tricky due to its location down a narrow alley, this didn’t detract from my experience. The cleanliness of the room and the facilities was impressive, but the breakfast arrangement at a local café could be limiting if you're not a coffee drinker. Overall, I appreciated the responsive communication and excellent location that allowed for easy exploration of Florence.

I had a lovely 3-night stay at Casa Uffizi, feeling right at home thanks to the warm ambiance and excellent location. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, and the beds were incredibly comfortable 😴. However, carrying my luggage up the 16 steps to the first floor before accessing the elevator was a bit challenging. The breakfast, although simple, was enjoyable, but I missed having more options since I'm not a coffee drinker.
