B&B Isola D'Arno is positioned on the third floor of a 17th-century palace in the Santa Croce neighborhood, known for its rich history and stylish leather shops. The hotel is a short 5-minute walk from both Piazza Signoria and the Galleria degli Uffizi, allowing guests convenient access to Florence's key attractions. Nearby narrow streets and squares host non-touristic spots, enhancing the genuine Florentine experience.

The hotel offers bright accommodations with large windows and high ceilings showcasing original wood beams, blending Renaissance details with contemporary design. Each room includes a private bathroom outfitted with a rainfall showerhead and equipped with high-quality mattresses ensuring restful nights. Guests can choose between deluxe rooms and standard rooms, both providing similar amenities.

Dining

Breakfast at B&B Isola D'Arno includes a selection of cold meats, cheeses, fresh fruit, and various coffee options, all made with seasonal products. Guests can enjoy this meal al fresco on the charming terrace, which overlooks the bell tower of the Santa Croce church. Throughout the day, the terrace remains accessible, along with a fridge and coffee area for casual refreshments.

Services

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed in a spacious hall equipped to provide tourist information and handle luggage storage. The hotel aims to enhance every Florentine holiday with personalized advice, offering suggestions on local bars, restaurants, and market exploration. Continuously accessible Wi-Fi in common areas allows guests to connect easily while enjoying their surroundings.
