Antica Dimora Sant'Anna
This was my first time in Florence and had a great experience staying here. This place is like 8 mins away from Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station. Also very close to other attractions. The room was very specious and comfortable and it was cleaned everyday. Highly recommend this place.
