A small design-led apartment hotel of suites across the river from Florence's center.

Why people love it

• The suites. Rooms are named for artists such as Donatello and Cellini. Guests describe them as huge, immaculate and stocked with water, juice and an espresso machine.
• Leonardo. He is named in three reviews for fixing an air conditioning problem on the first night and for breakfast recommendations.
• Quiet side of the river. Guests like being a short walk from the center and away from the crowds.
• Breakfast nearby. Breakfast is served at a restaurant below or next to the hotel, and guests call it excellent.
