MSNSUITES Palazzo Galletti

Via San Egidio 12, Firenze

The historical Palace “Palazzo Galletti B & B” is located on Via S. Egidio, a mere ten minute walk from the Duomo and the S. Croce Church. It is also in the proximity of the famous theatres La Pergola and Verdi. On entering the reception area, on the first floor, one is immediately plunged into a sensation of antiquity and freshness that mark this ambience as an unusual private living quarter. Recently restored this building has been a sleeping giant that has been newly awakened in all of its honour. Beautiful frescos have been found in these abandoned walls brought to life with an entire school of restorers to allow our guests to taste and feel for themselves the beauty the centuries have left behind in this Palace.
The young owners, who run the B & B, have paid meticulous attention to details, giving life to an unusual yet elegant blend of classical and ethnic styles. The nine beautiful and spacious rooms, paved in original terra cotta tiling and painted frescos walls, are named after the planets in the solar system and consequently the roman gods: Mercury, Venus, Cerere identified with the Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Pluto. The furnishings chosen have made every room unique in its atmosphere. Every bedroom has the highest standard and includes a king-size bed, air conditioning, soundproof walls, flat-screen TV, direct internet access, a minibar and a personal safe. Every bedroom opens onto a private and very quiet balcony, allowing for a truly relaxing moment from the exiting Florentine streets.
The true history of this palace comes through in the magical hours of your mornings. The 1550 kitchen with its wide-low hooded sink and its vaulted ceilings, where breakfast is served, gives one the impression of experiencing the past. It is truly a treasure, we invite you to disagree!
SPA SOUL SPACE
The SPA SOUL SPACE on the ground floor will make unique stay at Palazzo Galletti. The massages and the treatments will let you feel peaceful sensation and quietness in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

    Very good place to stay. The only drawback was the lack of twin room that I booked via Laterooms.com and my sons had to sleep in the double room.

    The hotel room is spacious and in good condition though the building was a bit old (as expected in Florence). The breakfast room is small but very cosy. Shame that they serve only continental breakfast, not much choices at all!
    Travellers from APAC region like ourselves do not expect hotel rooms not equipped with a kettle or drinking water. But there is small shop (just opposite to the hotel) + supermarket nearby which you can get what you want.
    Most important thing is - no elevator/escalator found in the hotel. We have to climb up the stairs carrying 2 heavy loaded luggages from G/F to their reception area, which is on the 1/F. There is only a young lady working in the reception area. Not much help can be expected for your luggages!!!
    The lady at the reception was friendly and helpful, especially with the recommendation of places to visit and venues to dine. But don't bother asking the hotel to book tickets for the museum. The hotel would charge you with an additional handling fee. We made this big mistake cos we did not realize the additional charge was counted by person for each of our visit, which personally I think is quite expensive.......
    On the whole, if you want to experience something different with the ordinary businees hotel, the hotel is something you can consider ^_^ ^_^

    The position was fantastic, just a very short walk to the Duomo and Florence is very compact.The taxi driver didn't intially know where it was but found it using the building number and street. Carrying the luggage up the stairs is the only drawback we found and was more than cancelled out by low mini bar prices and an excellent chilled white wine from their own estate. I didn't try the red but am sure it will also be very quaffable. Having read about booking problems on other websites I emailed them in advance to confirm our estimated time of arrival. They let me use their computer to check flights, tickets. etc.
    If this is your first time in Florence take their free map, which is a good one, and also their leaflets on local attractions.
    The room decoration and size were great and the bathroom excellent, the balcony was not over large but was nice. The aircon was adequate and not too noisy.
    Reception and all staff were very helpful. The 20% discount from Laterooms made this very upmarket B&B excellent value for money.
    They are adding two new supersize rooms to be called Sun and Moon, which reflect their policies on quality, ie two large rather than four small!
    Will visit again.

    The hotel rallyfalls under the catigory of posh B&B. The rooms were fantastic although there are no tea or coffee making facilities. I would stay again but not bother with breakfast as the food available from stalls and shops nearby was far superior.
