My husband and I stayed at Hotel Bella Firenze for three nights as part of our Golden Wedding anniversary trip. We could not fault anything about the hotel, from the service received to the friendliness of the staff.From Marco and Roberto - the owners - to Giancarlo and Tommy, the two members of staff who we met, nothing was too much trouble for them. When we arrived, we were greeted by Marco who immediately noticed that I would be unable to tackle the stairs, and allocated us a room on the ground floor, which although it was at street level was not noisy, even though our stay was over a weekend. The room was comfortable, with a working mini bar, and the air conditioning was marvellous considering the temperature was an average of 30 degrees even at night.
The proximity to the Santa Maria Novella station was excellent, being only three minutes walk away. Even with my difficulty with walking, I found it easy to get to the centre, and for going further afield most of the local busses stopped just outside. I would not hesitate to book the hotel if ever I go to Florence again.
