We switched hotels at the last minute for our mum's birthday trip to Florence having noted the excellent prices on Expedia. We were upgraded on arrival to superior rooms with beautiful views of the River Arno, furnished to a high standard with extremely comfortable beds and provided with champagne on the day on my mum's birthday as a surprise. The... more

We were at Plaza Lucchesi for 5 nights at the end of last June./Two couples and a boy of 13y. We mooved there after a horrible experience in another hote we'd booked through their website (Astoria Boscolo)./ We had two beautiful rooms (I did not ask propably superiors) one of them with beautiful view on the river. The double room... more

I have just returned from a stay in Florence at the Plaza Lucchesi Hotel and would highly reccomend it to anyone. We booked 2 double rooms through Expedia. We were then to be joined by a 5th member of the family. Expedia were offering us the option of cancelling our booking and then rebooking a triple room which would have... more

Me and my wife stayed at this hotel as we traveled Europe for our honeymoon and this hotel was the best of all hotels we stayed at. It offered breakfast with the room fee and a kind service staff who tended to all of our needs (bikes, car rentals, day trips, attractions, etc). I would recommend to book last minute... more

This was our favorite hotel during our travels in Italy. It faces the Arno River and is close to just about everything. The hotel itself is very charming--an older property updated for luxury. It was very, very clean. The breakfasts were elegant, and the food was great (we were traveling with someone who is a breakfast expert and he gave... more

We got a great deal on Hotwire for a last minute stay at this 4-star Firenze hotel. Arrival on Friday afternoon was effortless. Staff rushed out to help us with our bags and we went from a horribly hot tuscan afternoon to checked in and in our room in under 5 minutes. Wi-Fi Internet access was free if you had... more

We had one of the rooms on the top floor with a blacony. The room itself was small and decent but nothing special. The balcony was a great bonus and the view was incredible! The hotel staff was pleasant and the breakfast served daily in the main restaurant was very good. This hotel is in a very good location. It... more

First time to Florence. The concierge at the hotel was very helpful in getting reservations to the museums so that we did not have to stand in the long lines to get in. Just ask. Within easy walking distance to most major attractions. The hotel is a bit older and for us the air conditioning was not cool enough but... more

We spent three nights at the hotel in April 2008. Check-in was a snap! This is a very pretty hotel with some extra nice features, i.e. Murano glass fixture in the bedroom. We requested and received a river view room. Unfortunately, the window was high on the wall and we could only see out when standing! It appeared that non-... more
