Hotel Burchianti

What a gorgeous hotel right in the heart of Florence. The Birchianti has a 400 year history, firstly a family home, and then converted into a school until 1976. The hotel is situated on the first floor of this beautiful building, just a couple of minutes walk from the main palazzo. A small hotel of just 11 rooms, each unique and packed with orginal features. The modernisations have been done very sympathetically, providing excellent bathroom facilities and soundproof windows. The main reception room accomodates reception staff, a small lounge area and 4 breakfast tables, with which to enjoy a leisurely breakfast admiring the gorgeous orginal painted ceiling and stylish decor. Each bedroom is unique with its own fresco ceiling and antique furniture. All very clean, with great bathroom facilities, one of the best showers we have seen in a hotel. There is both airconditioning and heating in the rooms. The staff at this hotel are superb. On arrivial Adelina gave us a map and a very extensive guide of Florence, which proved useful during our stay. Her suggestion for a good gelato was spot on "there is always a queue, but worth the wait" was absolutely correct, we would have been put off by the queue without the advice. I woud advise pre-booking for major sights, ticket queues were long and many attractions have a daily limit, which sold out quickly. Getting to galleries early in the morning is also advantageous. Both Marco and Adelina provided 5 star service, and could not do enough for us over our stay. We can not thank you enough for making our first time Florence so enjoyable. Adeleina told us on arrival we would love Florence, we certainly did fall completley in love with Florence,

The location of the hotel is absolutely ideal, only 200 meters from Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral, and within 1 km from Uffizi Gallery and Accademia Gallery. Most attractions can be reached on foot. The reception desk staff is an elegant and refined old man. He is very considerate and attentive, providing us with thoughtful service. He has also been to China and Shanghai. This trip to Florence made my family very satisfied.

Fabulous room, very spacious and exceptionally clean. Coffee & water available in reception which was only a few steps from our room was available 24/7. The continental breakfast was great with individual servings. A beautiful historic boutique hotel in the heart of the city with walking distance to all the historic sights. The hotel was made all the better with the wonderful staff. Very peaceful / quiet.

When I woke up in hotel Burchianti, in Firenze, for a moment I thought I was waking up in the most beautiful Museum/church/Palazzo as the ceiling fresco was what I first laid eyes on, and it was truly magnificent! I’ve been lucky to have experienced my fair share of beautiful hotels, even here in Italy, but Hotel Burchianti is a dimension in itself! 😊 Hotel Staff Mario & Giulia were extremely courteous, and always elegantly dressed. Aside from the excellent comfort of the room, the hotel couldn’t be more central, a 7-minute walk from the main train station, a 6-minute walk from the outdoor-David; on a quiet street that has all the convenience of center. While the hotel doesn’t provide a large, continental buffet style breakfast, they provided water coffee and tea available in the lobby at all times; the large breakfast didn’t feel like a big missing because as you exit the hotel, there are so many bakeries and yummy delicious food places, that everything worked out easily, I have already shared about this hotel and shown photos of it with the strongest recommendations to the humans in my life: everyone should be so lucky to get to visit Hotel Burchianti, Aside from being friendly, it is also budget friendly. If you travel with a small group or a family, ask for rooms 5 & 6; not only they are gorgeous minisuites, but they connect by a small private alcove, which almost makes it all 1 big XL-suite. Room 5 sleeps up to three people and room 6 sleeps up to four people. Both are truly STUNNING! (I checked in solo with my pup in room 6, and for almost 2 hours, all I did was sit and look at the beauty of the room. Luckily this was not my first time in Florence; nonetheless, I had to force myself to leave the stunning room and go exxplore the Beauty outside) :)

Beautiful paintings. Very nice personal. Nice building. Coffee (black normal) was free during the day
