The Monna Lisa Hotel is just lovely. My husband and I stayed in a beautiful room which was quite luxurious and private. The hotel is full of interesting paintings and sculptures and the garden is lovely too. I was impressed with the staff and the breakfast was the best we had in all of Italy. There is a laundromat not too far away which is handy if you have been travelling for a while. Many Thanks.

Actually, I can not recommend this hotel or review it. I emailed the hotel a few days before I left for Italy to make sure my reservation was confirmed. I was emailed a confirmation, again reassuring me that a twin bedded room was being held for me. After a long flight, a bus ride from the airport, dragging suitcases around Florence, finding a taxi and finally arriving at the hotel we were told our room was given away!! I was furious, I had the written confirmation in my hand. I was so disappointed as I spent hours on line making the decision; this was the hotel I wanted. Thankfully they found a room for us in another property since it was very late but I was not pleased with the room. I had read on line that the Mona Lisa has a habit of this, it is so true.

In all our stays throughout Europe, we have never encountered a more beautiful place to stay. If you are looking for the heart and soul of Florence, you must stay at The Monna Lisa Hotel. The aesthetic of this historical space, complete with it's amazingly beautiful garden and sitting rooms, is simply breathtaking. Our room, which looked out onto the garden exceeded our expectations in decor, cleanliness, and ambience. With regard to the service we received; it was exceptional. The manager was always available to us and people working at the front desk always took time to thoughtfully answer our questions. There was an intensely personal touch which we greatly appreciated: a card game with the staff,a conversation with our porter regarding world politics, special attention to our room. Indeed, many nights we would come in late and find our beds turned down waiting for us. We were also offered special attention each morning during our scrumptiously fresh breakfast. Finally, regarding location: We were truly happy with our proximity to everything we wanted to experience. We were never more than a 15 minute walk away from museums, shopping, and entertainment. In conclusion: If you are looking for the best hotel you will ever experience, this is it. Enjoy the Monna Lisa. You will find us there in spirit.

Oh it was so lovely to arrive in this quirky little hotel with so much character!!! There was some work being carried out on the road outside the hotel but it didn't spoil our stay.The dining room is full of various versions of the Mona Lisa which we thought was great! The rooms are cute and fit in with the theme of the hotel but don't expect luxury. Staff were really friendly and Florence is just so amazing!We thought it was great value, great location and it really was part of our Florence experience.

The hotel is delightful and well located. The staff are generally very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious, well appointed with a very small bathroom that did not affect our view of the experience. In fact it became a point of humour!

Hotel has lovely setting and is perfect for those who like a quiet and old-world environment. It definitely exceeded our expectations as I was very wary after reading mixed reviews on some other sites. Restaurants around the area is also excellent. Service, is however, while professional, not very personal or friendly.

One of the finest hotels we have ever stayed in. The courtyard garden was a delightful setting for breakfast and a welcome respite after rich long days exploring Florence. The interior spaces gave delight at every turn. Much to our surprise, our room and the wonderful interior spaces, hallways and garden looked just as they did on the website. The staff were attentive, helpful, and welcoming. An absolute delight!

I can't say enough nice things about this hotel - the staff was exceptional - the front desk was particularly helpful with cabs, dinner reservations, etc. The hotel is truly a quiet refuge in the heart of Florence - only a 10 min walk to the Duomo. We loved coming back at the end of a busy day and enjoying a drink in the beautiful, tranquil garden. Breakfast in the beautiful breakfast room was also fantastic - excellent pastries, cereals, yogurt, fresh fruit, cheeses and coffee. A great start to the day in a very attractive setting. We spent 4 days in a fantastic room overlooking the garden - spacious, double sinks, whirlpool tub, large glass shower. Then returned for 1 last night and stayed in a smaller room that was a bit too small to be comfortable....recommendation - spring for the larger rooms - your stay will be much more enjoyable. Overall - highly recommended!

More up market Hotel offering wonderful peace in the centre of the city and so close to the Duomo. Courtyard Parking was totally what we wanted but hard to get to - but then you did not need the car again until you left. Breakfast was not as wonderful as could be but totally adequate. Lovely garden and peace so needed in the middle of hectic sightseeing!

I went to Florence to visit my daughter who was studying abroad there. The Hotel Monna Lisa was a delightful oasis in the city with a beautiful garden, courtyard, solarium and lovely common areas filled with art and history. The breakfast was very generous with a beautiful dining room overlooking the garden. My main objection was the thinness of the walls between rooms. Also, my first room had a strong odor in the bathroom, but they changed my room the following day.

We traveled with our kids (ages 9 and 12) and booked a quad room. They gave us two adjoining rooms which could be opened to connect to one another. One room had a larger bed – looked a bit smaller than our queen at home – so the two kids took that one. The adults took the two singles, which they had pushed together. We had two bathrooms and a little more space for suitcases compared to the other two quad rooms that we had in Italy. One room had a large closet. The layout of the property gives you the clear impression that this building was converted from another use. We had to walk through the breakfast room, and through a sitting room to get to the front lobby. There are various small sitting rooms with comfortable looking couches sprinkled around the place. The property décor is mainly a classic European look (with art, sculptures and mahogany) with a Mona Lisa sitting room showing that they don’t take themselves overly seriously. It had various comic pictures of the infinitely recognizable Mona Lisa wearing modern clothing (or scant or none) or holding different accessories. I had seen a picture of the courtyard empty, but it was filled with bushes and beautiful plantings. My wife stopped to take pictures of some of the flowers. The staff was helpful and friendly and provided us with various tips on restaurants and logistics. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, and of course, the Duomo is a short walk (10-15 minutes). It is also 15-30 minutes walk to the Accedemia (Michelangelo’s David), the Uffizi gallery, and the Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Arno river. For a short trip like ours, the convenience was much appreciated. As I indicated, we stayed in three hotels in Italy. all in about the same price range, but the other two were three stars. The charming and comfortable Monna Lisa was our favorite of the three.

Excellent friendly efficient comfortable hotel within walking distance (even for us pensioners) from Duomo, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, good restaurants. Leave the car in the courtyard for the duration of your stay! Don't tell your wife/girlfriend it's also near the shops!
