    The vibe here was quiet! I got a well-designed and great-sized room with great products. The staff was absolutely friendly and very attentive, excellent service. The location was incredible, not very far from a cathedral-flanked square.

    Though everything was exceptional, some of the staff were not particularly friendly.

    small gym
    limited equipment

    The location was prime for accessing various historical sites. The room was stylish and comfortable, complete with a Nespresso machine. The rooftop bar offered a relaxing atmosphere along with great views and delicious food, which contributed positively to my downtime after meetings.

    The gym facilities were smaller than expected and lacked some equipment.

    prime location
    confusing breakfast
    unresponsive air conditioning

    Wow, the rooftop bar at Calimala is a foodie's paradise, serving up mouthwatering dishes that'll make your taste buds dance! Plus, the location is spot on for hitting the local gems like I Fratellini or La Grotta Guelfa for a quick bite.

    A little hiccup with the breakfast options, as ordering a la carte left us wanting more clarity on choices. The air conditioning could've used some finetuning-still, the vibe was all good vibes!

    great location
    accommodating staff
    lovely rooms
    difficult gps
    valet service issues

    Had a blast with friends! The location is perfect for exploring, especially the fine Oltrarno area and the romantic Ponte Vecchio. Our rooms were lovely, and the staff was super accommodating. Just a heads up, the gym is a bit small, but that didn't bother us too much. Definitely recommend trying the rooftop bar!

    Only downside was finding the place with GPS. It was tricky. Our valet service had a bit of a mishap, so just be careful when handing over your car.

    a charming hotel close to main attractions and parks

    I stayed for four nights and adored how everything from the Gallerie Degli Uffizi, just a short walk away, to the amazing Boboli Gardens, almost 1 km away, enhanced my experience of Florence. The staff were attentive.

    A room with a duomo view

    Waking up to magnificent views of the Duomo was amazing, and the staff's quick response to our requests. Every detail felt special!

    The breakfast lacked variety and left us longing for more options. The gym was quite small and didn't meet all our workout needs.

    Last Monday, I stayed at Hotel Calimala Florence for 5 nights, and it was amazing! The staff were very nice, promptly addressing our air conditioning issue and even upgrading our room. I especially loved the two gym rooms and the delicious breakfast with plenty of options. The Nespresso machine in the room was a nice touch too!
