Historic Renaissance Palace

Hotel Palazzo Dal Borgo is set in a converted 15th-century Medici palace, featuring original details like vaulted ceilings and worn frescoes. The 34 rooms include four-poster beds, Florentine floral patterns, and views of Santa Maria Novella Church or the Tuscan hills. Each room has a private bathroom with a bidet, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. Some rooms offer marble bathrooms and soundproof walls.

Courtyard Breakfast & Bar

The hotel serves a free breakfast buffet with pastries, hot options like scrambled eggs, and a gluten-free corner in a courtyard garden with lemon and orange trees. A cozy bar with vaulted ceilings offers drinks in the evening. The garden, decorated with Tuscan terracotta, is also pet-friendly.

Central Florence Location

The hotel is on Via della Scala, a 10-minute walk from Florence Santa Maria Novella train station. It's 500 meters from the Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Gallery, and within walking distance of the Cathedral and Piazza della Signoria. Peretola Airport is 10 km away. Paid garage parking includes valet service.

Personalized Guest Services

Staff provide attentive service, including help with local dining recommendations. Nearby restaurants include two popular spots just down the road. The hotel offers ironing facilities, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Guests can request specific bed arrangements when booking.

Nearby Golf & Wineries

Activities nearby include golf at Circolo Golf Ugolino and wine tasting at Cantina Antinori. The hotel is a short walk from Santa Maria Novella Basilica and the historic center's shops and cafes.

“The location proves ideal, near the station and key attractions, and the friendly staff enhance the stay, making it a strong choice for exploring the city; breakfast is certainly a highlight. While rooms might show some wear, the historical ambiance and courtyard provide authentic Florentine charm. An overall solid option.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Palazzo Dal Borgo is often described as a beautiful, authentic Italian hotel, conveniently located a short walk from the Firenze S.M. N. train station and close to Santa Maria Novella. Guests frequently highlight the spacious and tastefully decorated rooms, some featuring new bathrooms, while the breakfast buffet, with a variety of choices, is also a common highlight. Some guests have mentioned that they found the standard of some rooms to be slightly inferior for a 4 stars hotel. However, the hotel's location makes it easy to explore Florence, with attractions like the Accademia within walking distance and the world's oldest pharmacy just a minute away.

I adored the included breakfast. A great assortment of fruit, cheese, pastries, and beverages started my days perfectly. all staff members i encountered were friendly and helpful. they even prepared an early breakfast for me since i had a very early departure.
The junior suite was different from online photos. I found this disheartening. the peeling wallpaper in the bedroom and hallway felt worn. also the wi-fi signal was weak in my room, it was a wi-fi blind-spot. This was an inconvenience.
