I would absolutely stay in this hotel again. The view from the room is gorgeous and it's is also very nicely decorated. Staff were very friendly and attentive. I felt I'm at home and not in a hotel! The location is also very central so it's easy to walk everywhere

Our room was lovely, with a great view of the Arno River. The location was very convenient to most of the big attractions in Florence -- very walkable. Loved the fridge full of free snacks and drinks in the common area. Thanks for a great stay!

This place was amazing! Francesco the host was a great welcoming host. He showed us a map of the city and gave us tips on places to visit. He also had a common area with a fully stocked refrigerator with wine, water, beer and champagne for us to take from which was no extra charge. The room was amazing and bed was very comfortable. I cannot recommend this place more! We will definitely be staying there again next time we are in Florence!

Boutique hotel with the best location
The location was amazing, right on the river with incredible views of the sunset. So close to everything, made all the museums, piazzas, restaurants really accessible. The host was incredibly friendly, helpful and the hotel itself was very clean, well decorated, air conditioned. The common area with open bar made it feel very luxurious - when I first arrived he popped a bottle of Italian sparkling wine for a me and brought it to my room! Would highly recommend and I would stay again if I return to Florence

Perfect hotel in the centre of Florence. The river view was gorgeous! 10 mins walk to main attractions and train station. Surrounded by restaurants and cafes. The free fridge/ bar situation was incredible as was the service! Could not have hoped for a better hotel/ stay in Florence.

Dear Christa,Thank you for your review, we take this opportunity to clarify the differences between the luxury double bedroom with balcony and view on the river, and the standard double bedroom where it’s specified that it hasn’t the view on the river and the balcony, but has a bright window on the city.We are always available and glad to upgrade the room from standard to luxury river facing bedroom, but based on the availability of our structure at that specific moment.In your individual case, we didn’t have the possibility and availability of the luxury bedrooms to make you this upgrade.As you can see in our website, we are very keen to specify the various differences between the bedrooms, to avoid any kind of misunderstanding.Light of the above, we are sorry that during your stay you didn’t complain about your concerns, although you have used the direct communication with us to reserve museums and restaurants, showing yourself always satisfied.We are really sorry for what happened and we hope to have clarified every doubt.Best Regards Residenza Vespucci

Residenza Vespucci was a dream hotel for us. My 94 year old mother and I travelled to Florence for a week in May 2023. Upon arrival, we met Francesco, the owner of the hotel. He was gracious, warm and welcoming. His dog Lapo (the trusted hotel concierge) was calm and soft and lovable. His presence made us feel at home. Our room was the Grand Suite which had a huge (but narrow) balcony directly facing the River Arno. The rooms are lovely, and large. There was a king sized bed for Mom, a very comforable pullout for me, and two clean bathrooms. The hotel has an elevator, so it was easy to get Mom in and out of the hotel. Mom and I spent hours every day on that balcony - drinking tea, wine, and Francesco's homemade Limoncello. We watched a beaver enter its lodge, rowers and anglers, people walking dogs, foot traffic. bicycles, traffic, scooters.....and the birds were wonderful - Night herons, seagulls, swifts, Igrets... You can see the Ponte Vecchio from the balcony, and the moon rising over the river is magical. The balcony itself was a wonderful outlet for fresh air, beautiful moonlight, and activity to watch. Particularly for someone who has limited mobility. And then there was Francesco. He is the consumate host!! Caring, compassionate, and genuine. Every day he provided little thoughtful services and kindnesses. One night Mom had a medical event and Francesco had a physician attend the room in 15 minutes. We have rebooked! *****

The best experience in Florence. I have been several times in Florence, but this time my stay was extraordinary in the Residenza Vespucci. My room had a very nice balcony with amazing views! I had the opportunity to do a lot of videos and pictures for Instagram. The host is very nice and kind person. You can reach any touristic, historic and interesting point walking from the Residenza Vespucci. It is 5 minutes walking from the train station. Now, this is my favorite place to stay in Florence.

Beautiful stay! we will be back!
Great stay, great location. The view from the balcony is unforgettable beautiful! We booked the suite that had separated sitting room with two full bathrooms and one wrap around large balcony, it was so comfortable we felt like we were staying at a nice Italian home, not a hotel. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

The perfect small hotel
I love this hotel. Our suite, with a large living room and separate bedroom had three small balconies virtually sitting over the Arno. Awesome views. Perfect location. The lovely young woman who runs the hotel makes you feel that she is personally responsible for assuring that your stay in Florence is her personal responsibility. I fell on the street and asked her where I would find an emergency room. Knowing I would have a long, long wait if I went to nearest hospital emergency room, she found and booked me at an excellent private clinic, and had a pair of crutches waiting in my room upon my return. It’s like having family in Florence

Stayed in grand room with river view, party of six. Thought would be 2 BR cause when booking it states 1 king, 2 twin and 1 sofa bed. Ending only two rooms, one bed room, and living area. Not suitable for six adults, no storage spaces, luggages, personal belonging pretty much are on floors, noticing mold in shower and there is a leak from ceiling through rain shower head. If known, I would book at least 1 Grand suite and 1 bedroom, so these will accomodate all of us.

Dear Madame, it is the first time for me that I answer at one review. Usually I do not answer because I like to leave people to describe their sensitive experience. Now, I would like to answer because of I think that you have not told all the truth. Only for your comfort, you have asked me another room. I showed it to you, I make a very very special price and you has not accepted.

Great location, tiny room, gross bathroom
Not sure how this hotel has such high ratings.While the location and view is phenomenal, the room is less than tiny as they added bathrooms at some point that takes up 1/2 of the original room size. There is almost no storage and only the bed and 1 desk chair in the room. You can look at the photos of the bathroom...really gross and they used some type of deodorizer that made it hard to breath. Like someone who is wearing too much perfume only worse. And the odor permeated the entire flat. We come from a family of Inn Keepers and travel extensively. We found it hard to imagine how the proprietors of this hotel can overlook the issue with this room. The only redeeming thing about our room was the location and view.The entire room needs to be steamed and grout repaired.
Black Hairs on the bathroom door (we are blondes)
Door looked like it had not been cleaned in years
No place to put anything...my wife used the dirty bathroom floor. The grout was black
Shower...really?

Wonderful stay at a very well run and located property. The brother and sister at the hotel are very professional and most helpful. The location is right on the Arno but happily a bridge away from the super busy Ponte Vechio. You are a block away from the Westin if you want to see the Westin's rooftop bar or you can stroll the adjacent streets to gaze at the high end shop windows. There's so many different shops right there: Maniboo nail shop, Italian/English bookstore with a place to sit inside and read, vintage clothing shop, PAM grocery store. Or walk across the bridge to see the Oltrano neighborhood. Another bonus is how well lit the streets are all around the building at night. Thanks!

Residenza Vespucci is fantastic!
I couldn't begin to say enough good things about the Residenza Vespucci: The neighbor hood is perfect, and a short walk to just about everything there is to see in Florence; The hotel itself is beautiful, very well kept, clean, secure, and charming; The hosts and staff are incredibly charming, helpful, inviting and warm. I could not recommend a place more highly. The next time I visit Florence, I will definitely try to stay here again

Aurelia and her brother were just super. I developed an ankle condition on the Sunday we were there. Could not walk. She called and had a dr come to the hotel to see me. I missed two days of touring, but after that i was fine and did not lose an entire week of vacation. She just made our entire trip. Just a super experience.
