Hotel Bernini Palace

Location. Breakfast also good.

"Stunning Room and Sweet Touches, but Staff Could Be More Consistent" We booked the room for 2 nights and wanted to check in earlier, but the room was only available at the scheduled check-in time. The breakfast, which was included, was delicious. The room itself was absolutely stunning, truly feeling like a palace, and it was spotlessly clean. As a lovely touch, they offered us hazelnuts and champagne—such a sweet gesture. We truly felt royal during our stay. However, the staff was a bit of a mixed bag—some were very friendly and helpful, while others were less so. Despite this, it didn’t take away from the overall experience.

Located right next to Signoria Square, this top rated Hotel is most conveniently located, while offering high level of comfort and service in a historical and decorative 16c palace. A valet car service allows for hassle-free parking in the restricted central ZTL, allowing visitors to walk freely (all of Florence is accessible on foot from the central Hotel location; attached photos within 10 minute walk) without concerns for their auto. We even had our car washed under valet care to resume our journey sparkling-fresh, after cleansing all the Tuscan dust of the WH Orcia Valley drive, which is a must-travel venue of scenic beauty spotted with numerous charming medieval towns and WH site Pienza. The Hotel is highly recommended for comfort, dedicated service and travel convenience, if the fairly high rates is withing budget range. We are sure the Hotel has become our favorite repeat residence for future visits to Florence.

The location of the hotel us central to walking around Florence. Located just off one of the piazzas, the hotel is close to all of the major attractions and is closer in proximity to the river making it perfect to exploring the Oltrarno side of Florence as well. The staff was very helpful in restaurant recommendations and the rooms were spacious enough per Europe standards. Off of the fifth floor was a terrace large enough for approximately 12 people where you could share a bottle of wine or gaze upon the city. The included breakfast was outstanding. The food was delicious and the staff was so courteous.

The breakfast buffet had a great selection to choose from. The room had nice touches like the linen sheets, nightlight in the bathroom and the water left each day when the room was cleaned. The sparking wine at check in was a nice surprise. The location was outstanding. Very close to main attractions especially the Uffizi, Piazza Della Signoria and Ponte Vecchio.
