    The property was so beautiful! From the moment you walk in the staff was so kind and welcoming bringing us cold water after a toast walk from the train station. The staff gave us so many amazing recommendations for places to visit and eat in Florence, as well as some tips for Rome which we were heading too next. Our room was so beautiful, comfy and cool. We looked forward to hopping in our plush bed every night after walking miles around Florence all day. This location is also super close to many of Florence’s main attractions and shopping. I could not recommend Porta Nera highly enough and will definitely stay next time we find ourselves in Florence!

    Traveling with my wife and in-laws for the first time together in Florence. From the very first call-contact throughout our stay, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay as much comfortable as possible. Been myself in the tourism industry ( nearly 30 years) I understand and appreciate the effort, hard work and genuine willingness to make guests happy. And that exactly what I've got from Emanuela ( the manager) and everyone else at Porta Nera. This being said I would highly recommend this venue to those interested in a quiet location, but within a short walk to some of the most renowned sites of this wonderful city ( Piazza della Signoria and Santa Maria del Fiore at a stone's throw, less than 10 minutes) let alone the easy walk from the main station Santa Maria Novella, which is a great plus to access to high speed trains, many local/regional/intercity trains to continue your journey somewhere else in the country. This venue, kind of residence/boutique lodging, is located in a recently renovated four- story historical building ( with a comfortable elevator) has an onsite charming reception/hall , with common spaces, designed to seat guests while waiting to be checked in or to be use for working-relax. The house provides complimentary daily hot drinks, ( there is a Nespresso's coffee machine if you’re looking for espresso-style coffee with the ultimate selection of flavors) some snacks and fruit. A roof-top and free wifi throughout, make this venue an excellent find. All rooms at Porta Nera feature free WiFi and complimentary high-quality toiletries. Each individually styled room reflects the contemporary design of the venue, with luxurious fabrics and furnishings and hints of bold colors. Rooms are equipped with form-foaming mattresses ensuring you get all the beauty sleep you need after a long day of exploring the city. Highly recommended

    We do not have anything negative to say!

    We LOVED everything about this place, from the cleanliness to the incredibly nice staff who goes above and beyond to get you everything you need and make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. My partner and I just had an awful travel experience right before we arrived. Manuela greeted us and just completely turned our experience into the most positive one. We can't recommend this place enough. It is definitely a rare find and a hidden gem in Florence.

    location is down a quiet secure street but close to truly everything I would call this as central and as private living as possible - not a huge hotel never crowded with other tourists and personalized attention from the staff was incredible thank you !

    Upon initially booking, one of the pictures advertised of the property which appeared to be a part of the room, was in fact the lobby area. We were on our honeymoon, and every other property/hotel we have stayed in during our tour has made some effort to make our stay feel special, however at this property it wasn’t acknowledged at all (not that it must be, however every other property we have stayed in had made some effort of some kind.)

    The property was in a good location with polite and helpful staff.

    The only good thing would be a box of tissues available in each room.

    The staff at the property went above and beyond to make us feel welcome at Porta Nera. They offered us refreshments on arrival and were so helpful throughout our stay. Porta Nera is located very centrally in Florence, about a 3 minute walk to the river and 5 minutes from the Duomo- perfect for our visit. It must be the cleanest accommodation I’ve ever been in- immaculate! We will be visiting again :)
