A stone's throw from the Ponte Vecchio, this is a fine little hotel with an enviable location. All rooms are decorated differently with lively wallpaper; some have views of Palazzo Vecchio and others of the Arno. The rooftop terrace, where you can have breakfast or an aperitivo, is decked with flowers. The lobby suggests a friend's living room—its warm yellow walls are welcoming. Double glazing and air-conditioning help keep street noise at bay. Pros: Views; friendly, English-speaking staff. Cons: Short flight of stairs to reach elevator.
