The hotel was very well located. They received us very warmly and gave us a wine for our honeymoon ,that was a very sweet gesture. Everything was clean and breakfast was nice specially coffee, this is the only hotel I have stayed in that they make it espresso with a proper machine. It was really nice that they had tea, coffee and water infused with lemon at all times in a common space together with some pastries. Also they have a happy hour with wine and Prosecco that brings together guests in a very nice mood with music and great atmosphere. I definitely recommend. A nice detail is that they have double glass window to prevent hearing loud noises from the street. I can tell they care about details and comfort in general.

Uffizi Gallery
What makes Florence the epicentre of art? All of it; but specifically the Uffizi Gallery. Its collections cover the ages, but its darlings will always be Renaissance born. You won’t find a better Art History 101 refresher. Hours wilt away inside this U-shaped mansion. The Birth of Venus tops many a best-of list. Better book tickets in advance – the masterworks cause quite a queue.

It is complicated to buy the tickets ahead of time, to get in the right line, and to get the audio to work. After you get in the art highlights are way too crowded. Wonder art made unattractive by poor organization.

Get tickets for 8:15 AM, go with nothing but your camera and don't check your coat. Head directly to the Botticellis, and then to the Da Vinci's, Raphaels and the Michelangelo to enjoy them without the crowd, and then double back for the Gothic paintings. Do NOT make the mistake of pausing to view sculptures on the entrance level. Do NOT get distracted by the Gothic masters. Speed walk to the Botticellis and then the Ninja Turtles or you'll be viewing them across crowds jostling for selfies.

Packed with stunning art work including “Spring” and “The birth of Venus” by Botticelli. We looked at most of the works and spent 3 1/2 hours there. The queues were long, I’d advise prebooking your tickets.

1. DEFINITELY get "skip the line" tickets. 2.
1. DEFINITELY get "skip the line" tickets. 2. Don't forget that you still have to wait in line to exchange the "skip the line" tickets for the admission tickets. 3. Don't forget you then have to wait in line with all the other "skip the line" ticket holders to actually get in. Plan accordingly and enjoy the FABULOUS art!

My second time going: make the reservation, folks!! You want to get in early and take your time. I wish I knew more about the ceilings and walls of the actual building. I must, must, must see for anyone slightly interested in art. I can't wait to return again!

Beautifully decorated home. Our host saved our trip! His kindness and wonderful tour of the Uffizi gallery made our last stop in Italy one to remember. Thank you so much!
The location is close to Duomo and Uffizi gallery. But the street is less crowded and there are restaurants around. Also there are paid parkings (paid garages) in case if you have a car. Staff was helpful and very friendly.
The location of Il Gattopardo is just perfect for exploring Florence. It is right near the Uffizi gallery, which makes your stay all the more special. The rooms are just perfect for an affordable but comfortable stay in Florence: clean and spacious enough for a relaxing sleep.
The check-in process is very simple and the host's instructions were very clear and easy to follow.
Location was very centralized...very close to Duomo Complex and Uffizi Gallery. The bed and sofabed were very comfortable. The outdoor terrace was nice and the apartment looked exactly like the photo. We did not use the kitchen but if we did it was fully equipped. Accessing the apartment was also easy. Perfect for a family of 4!
Very good location, close to all major sites of Florence, under 10 mins to train station and Uffizi gallery/Ponte Vecchio. Hotel staff is kind and helpful.
The room was very nice (even though the "queen" mattress was actually two twin/full beds pushed together). It was a 10-20 minute walk to all of the sites (Duomo, Michelangelo's David, Uffizi Gallery). A wide variety of food options with a variety of prices ranges were very neat to the hotel.
The location is absolutely prime! 2 minutes from Ponte Vecchio bridge, so close to the Uffizi Gallery and a short walk from the center of Florence. Incredibly convenient!! The room was also wonderfully clean. The main bed was very comfortable, but the sleeper couch was quite squeaky when rolling over. Overall a good spot provided you're okay with stairs, as the lift is tiny and fits only one person at a time if needed. But on the plus side helps work off the delicious food that you enjoy in Florence.
The location was wonderful. A short walk to the Ponte Vecchio. Just across the bridge from the Uffizi Gallery. Restaurants, shops everywhere. The view from the upstairs bedroom is like a postcard. (See the nighttime pictures attached.) The host was terrific, helping to get the luggage into the apartment. The apartment was spacious and attractive.
Unbeatable location, the apartment is 3mins walk to Ponte Veechio, and just across Uffizi Gallery on the other side of the canal/river, yet on a quiet street. Spacious apartment with a terrace and modern facilities, bedding is comfortable. The host is super responsive.

What Guests Said About Uffizi Gallery:
Spectacular. The David!
Spectacular. The David! One cannot compare the Medieval and Renaissance Art to text books and Art books. It is beyond explanation. The Uffizi housed so many pieces that our 4 hours probably did not do it justice. The Accademia where The David lives is a must. Wish we would have seen the palace and much more. If you want leather it is in Florence in the shops and the outdoor market.
