“What a magnificent place to stay, centrally located, close to all amenities. The staff where fabulous and we where really made to feel welcome.”
“The bed was super comfy! We slept very well with a fresco of Cupid’s smiling down on us from 15 foot ceiling over our bed! The breakfast was incredible, with not only fresh croissants, plain and chocolate, but eggs Florentine, cappuccino chocolate and cinnamon, and much more than we could eat. On the one morning when breakfast was not provided at the Palazzo, we were given a voucher for breakfast at Za-Za’s Ristorante just around the corner which was so good we went back for dinner. Daniella, and Irena and Natalya were delightful! The common rooms were huge, with classical music playing, and chocolates on a plate.”
“The Palazzo was absolutely beautiful. The breakfast was exceptional and artistically prepared. The welcome was so warm that we felt like returning family members. One of the best hotels in the world! Can't wait to come back!”
“Loved Daniela and the other gorgeous staff. Accommodation and location are wonderful but nothing compared to the personalized service. Best breakfast in Italy!”
“At Palazzo Tolomei you will experience a unique piece of Florentine life and elegant history from the exceptional warm personal customer service... so helpful with all our needs... to the gorgeous, spacious period decorated rooms with stunning renaissance ceiling artwork... a dream to wake up to! Breakfast was delectable and the host Daniella beautiful and welcoming. A magical experience and the highlight of our trip around Italy, centrally located, so easy to access, great local eat outs and every amazing sight within walking distance I hope to come back soon! Bellisimo, thank you!”
“Beautiful frescos on our bedroom ceiling, the sense of history, the tastefully appointed breakfast room playing classical music, the feeling of staying in a splendid family home rather than a faceless hotel - The palazzo has been in owner Daniela's family for five generations. Her team couldn't do enough to make our one night stay memorable. Thank you Daniela, Daisy & Tatiana - we will certainly be back”
“Lovely building and all rooms impeccably clean. Room was ultra comfortable, Manager and staff were simply amazing. Breakfast was a delight of the palate. Great to arrive there or go through the corridors while classic music is being played.”

“The room was fantastic. We celebrated our 40th anniversary , Daniella mafe it special. Staff excellent. The air conditioning worked great, and the beds were very comfortable. The only negative was we had to leave for home. We hope to come back. Thank You so much.”
