Casa Uffizi Tower House Boutique Hotel

It was our second trip to Florence, and staying here felt like coming home. The whole team looked after us with real warmth, care, and thoughtful guidance and recommendations. We met "Silvano", his mother, and the rest of the staff. Highly recommend. Hemda & Yehoshua

We found the room clean and comfortable, and the location is fantastic. The host was friendly and shared useful information and recommendations. Breakfast comes through the bar they work with, and it was delicious. I'd highly recommend staying here in Florence!

We spent two days here. You can feel the history of the house, which survived a Mafia attack in the area and was rebuilt by the next generation of the family almost 100 years ago. There isn't any hotel staff on site. You just get a couple of text messages, which feels a bit unpleasant. Keep the window closed, too, since there are so many mosquitoes around that they can keep you awake at night. Breakfast is a voucher for one of the nearby coffee shops, covering one coffee and one cake. I don't eat sugar, and the coffee shop staff weren't friendly.

Casa Uffizi worked perfectly for our short winter visit. Maybe it was the chianti windows and the crisp air, but we loved the place. It's tucked just a few meters from the Piazza della Signoria and about a 7-minute walk from Brunelleschi's Duomo. You can walk to everything, including a quiet little laundromat only minutes from Ponte Vecchio. One thing to know: the staircase to the rooms is steep, narrow, and marble, with some worn spots. It was quite a climb with large suitcases, though manageable, and could be hard for anyone with mobility issues. Some shoes also make the steps slippery. There's a chair lift to the second level, then an elevator serving the higher floors. Fantastic stay, and I'd book again.
