About

Residenza Della Signoria

Residenza Della Signoria is a small residence in the historic center of Florence, housed in a building with a lift. It offers just 7 rooms, which keeps the atmosphere intimate and personal. The location is exceptional: the Arno River is about a 5-minute walk away, and the Duomo and Piazza della Signoria are only a short stroll from the door.

Guests consistently praise the spacious, clean rooms and the genuinely helpful staff. The property includes a vending machine, luggage storage, and offers a welcome drink upon arrival. Breakfast is arranged with a nearby bakery, a detail that many reviewers highlight as a highlight of their stay.

What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited staff hours — Staff are available only from 9:00 to 12:00, which may be restrictive for guests needing assistance outside these hours.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
  • Breakfast not on-site — There is no in-house breakfast; instead, it's served at a nearby bakery, which might not suit everyone's preference.
  • Parking is offered but uncertain — The hotel lists parking as an amenity, but given the central location, availability and conditions are unclear. It's best to check directly.
