One word for this gem of a location: WOW! Daniella the owner and Daisy are just delightful people who sincerely care about your experience in Florence. You are within walking distance to every major site and the best shopping as well. Plus D & D can recommend some awesome restaurants so you avoid the tourist traps. We loved Florence (and... More

Stayed here for 3 nights on our honeymoon in the Aphrodite room. When we arrived the gate was locked and we couldn't get in. Had to call them to get someone to open the gate for us. The rooms for the hotel are up one or more flights, but there is a very small elevator to help with luggage. The... More

The place is exactly as depicted on the web site and in trip advisor. (http://www.palazzotolomei.it/) Its very nice -- in fact eerily nice -- you dont expect to spend the night in a palazzo that is museum quality. In fact between the the life sized 17 century marble statues and elaborate frescos that adorned the Palazzo, you felt a little... More

What a beautiful residence! Steps from the San Lorenzo market and the duomo. We stayed here for 3 nights in the 'white room'. Daniela is a lovely hostess. Sparkling clean, comfy beds and a great shower, not to mention all of the little treats included in the kitchenette. My sweetheart propsed to me while we were in Florence - Daniela... More

The place is wonderful and our room was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Daniela, the owner, is very nice and it was a pleasure to be her guest. We hope we will be able to come back in the future! More

I'd read many reviews about the Palazzo Tolomei before booking our room. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and I when I viewed their website, saw the photographs of the frescoed ceilings and the spacious rooms, then read reviews on Tripadvisor about the extraordinary service from the staff, I decided this was the place to stay. Well, the reviews were... More

While the apartment itself is beautiful, it was impossible to sit and enjoy the lovely garden or simply open the garden doors or windows without getting swarmed by mosquitos inside and out. We had to purchase many repellant methods and all failed. Difficult to sleep without air of any kind. The bathroom plumbing (shower and toilet) was not regularly reliable.... More

Just back from a stay at the Palazzo Tolomei and it was everything we hoped for and more. It was very central, minutes from any of the main sights and just over a 5 minute walk from the Train and Bus Stations. Daisy and Daniella were extremely helpful and booked our Museum tickets in advance (which I urge everyone who... More

The long and short of it is that this place is very unique. The service is incredibly personal and the room was sensationally beautiful. To have a 17th century fresco that was apainted for the wedding night of royalty above your bed is something that you will be hard pushed to find elsewhere, even in Florence. Daniella and her staff... More
