Entirely re-done in 2018 this historic 97-room boutique hotel is located in the heart of historic Florence, in Piazza Santa Maria Novella next to the Church of Santa Maria Novella, near the central station — where a stream of high speed trains come in from Rome, Milan, and Venice - as well as all of Florence's major tourist attractions and Florence Conference and Exhibition Cittadelle. It boasts a rooftop terrace that from April to October features a heated pool and a pool bar. The style of the hotel is a mix of history and elegance where the 800's style meets with the '50. Each room holds works by contemporary artists chosen from Florence and Pietrasanta's leading art galleries. Buffet breakfast is served in a wide and elegant room overlooking our internal garden. La Buona Novella the Restaurant, from April until October, opens its doors to an additional out-door restaurant called La Buona Novella "al fresco". Other services: Free Wi-fi, Fitness Center and Calidarium (fee).
