Top hotels in Ricorboli
Grand Hotel Baglioni
The hotel was very nice, incredible terrace views of the duomo and had very hospitable staff. The breakfast selection was great as well. Our room was a good size. I only subtracted a star because the bed was a bit too stiff and the heat wasn’t quite warming up to what I set it to.
