Tucked away in the heart of Florence, The Place Firenze welcomes you into a bustling Italian home away from home

Enter The Place Firenze, a gorgeous, homey, yet luxurious boutique hotel nestled in the heart of Florence. This family-run property has elegance traced from 2003 and has since evolved into a charming Italian home.

As you step out of your vehicle, you are thrust into a world of minimalistic wonder. The pale green and cream paint exude homeliness and pair perfectly with the striking artwork skillfully placed across the building.

The decorative plants that line the boutique hotel simultaneously appeal to your green and artistic senses. The staff’s friendliness shines through as they welcome and guide you to your stunning room, which features a charming extension of the beautiful interior decor.

Settle into the most comfortable bed, then head for a shower in the lovely and chic bathroom equipped with Floris and Votary products. Then wrap yourself in a robe and step toward the window for a remarkable view of the city or courtyard. That’s all curated by The Place Firenze Boutique Hotel.

When the morning comes, you can enjoy breakfast in bed or feed your eyes with scenic views of the Piazza di Santa Maria Novella as you stuff your mouth. Whatever the case, the hotel has a unique way of drawing you back to the city of Florence.

Food was very expensive. My wife ordered the prawns. At 45 euros we expected more than just five raw prawns and some garnish. The waiter explained it was expensive because the prawns were very fresh. I don’t care if they just jumped out of the ocean onto the plate, it wasn’t worth the price. My wife had also felt pretty sick for the last two days since eating them, so they can’t have been that fresh!

Tested only breakfast in restaurant outside, not a hotel. The worst price / quality in Italy. Ok-ish but very overpriced meals and coffee. Put bakings without ask on the table and of course put them into the bill. I asked to prepare croissant for take away, waited 5-10 min and then waiter gave me a bag with phrase “put them inside”. I advice to stay away from that place.

I had a nice time in the terrace of the restaurant, while tasting the menu proposed by the restaurant and the service was super friendly until I told to the waiter Alessandro that the dessert was really not at the level expected for the place and menu and unfortunately I got a very rude response without no excuse or proposition to exchange my plate or try something different.I unfortunately didn’t have the chance to taste other deserts but their chef pâtissier should think about, even though I hope is just a matter of bad service.Not a nice way to expended an evening.

This is a wonderful hotel. The staff was incredible. Notably, Alex at reception was so accommodating and helpful. The rooms are impeccably clean and the entire hotel is newly renovated and luxurious. We absolutely loved it and would definitely recommend.

We stayed here just one night and it was incredible. The staff were very on point and attentive. The food in the restaurant was delicious as well. We had an epic view of Florence. Truly recommend The Place. We will certainly return.

Stefano made the BEST cosmo I’ve had in my entire life (better than NYC & LA, I said what I said). Service is outstanding. Will be back tomorrow for more.
My husband and I had an amazing dinner here! Not only were the food and cocktails fantastic, but the service was even better! Alessandro was hands down the BEST! He was so professional and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience. Next time we are in Firenze, we will definitely be back!

I try keep gems like this secret but it is worth sharing.We went to JK Place for lunch and had a super time. There is a part of the restaurant that serves great food and has a relaxed yet comfortable feel to it. Because the hotel is a bit upmarket the menu is quite international and interesting. There is a great choice of wines and or "aperitivos" available. The staff did not rush us and were very accomodating when we arrived to prepare a table for us (we only had to wait 10 min) but we were allowed to sit inside, we also had a choice of water and again, staff were very friendly and helpful.

This hotel was amazing! All of the staff were incredibly friendly, kind, and helpful. The rooms were beautiful and very comfortable. The breakfast was out of this world. And a lovely location to boot! One of our favorite hotels we’ve stayed in.
