We spent a long time researching Florence hotels for our 2-week 50th anniversary stay in Florence. What a find! This is a wonderful hotel because of: large, welcoming lobby and bar area with all leather couches and chairs and live gardenia plants; outstandingly helpful front desk staff who served like concierges; two elevators; fantastic location directly on the Arno River... more

This was a great hotel with an awesome staff and ideal location. They upgraded our room to one with a view for free. Tickets to museums, David, etc can all be booked through the staff in advance. DO IT...and do it early! We almost didn't get to see David, but somehow they got us in. The breakfast buffet was the... more

We arrive in Florence by train from Venice, and it was about a 15 min walk from the station to the Hotel Berchielli. We visited in teh end of May, and our first day there it was a sunny 80 degrees, then rain storms came in and left it cool in the 60s. We stayed for three evenings, and booked... more

Hotel Berchielli is a charming hotel. The front desk staff were nice and accommodating, but not overly so. The hotel bartender, Giovanni, was wonderful and we had some wonderful conversations with him. The room was a triple, it was very big with two beds in one room and the third bed in a separate room. We also had 2 bathrooms,... more
