Lungarno Exclusive Apartment

So happy we chose the Ferragamo hotel to stay at. Location near sites and restaurants and tourist spots. Quiet and safe. Many american students studying abroad are in this area. Sort of kills atmosphere to here all the college students saying“like like like” with that said this hotel rocks. Luxury and price was right on. Best parts… artwork lobby and open windows at night. Clean and very comfortable with lots of space. Didn’t even have room facing River and it was so beautiful. Stay here… Yes

What can I say about Hotel Lungarno? Magnifico! Located in a beautiful spot across the Ponte Vecchio away from the crowds, but not isolated from the action. We stayed in a beautiful deluxe room with two little Juliette balconies overlooking the Arno and Ponte Vecchio. The room was a comfortable size, plenty of closet space (for all the of the goodies you will buy in Florence) and the bathrooms are well appointed.
The décor throughout is classic and understated, with tailored slipcovers, vintage wood furniture and a delightful collection of artwork which includes Picasso and Cocteau. The hotel feels a bit like you are staying at someones home. The service is topnotch, the staff was friendly and quite helpful.
They turn the heat off in late spring, but this year was unseasonably cool, so our room was quite chilly. They immediately dispatched a space heater to us when we called the front desk. We also had a debacle with our car rental reservation which could have ruined our day trip out into Tuscany, but the concierge helped us sort it out quickly, and we were on our way.
Breakfast buffet is very good, there are many choices for your breakfast eating style, from pastries, eggs and sausage, to fruit, cheese and Parma. If you are American, don’t expect the typical «American Breakfast,» after all you are in Italy, and «when in Rome…”– well in this case Florence.
For a real gourmet experience I recommend at least one dinner in Lungarno’s restaurant, Borgo San Jacopo, the Chef puts together an amazing seasonal (?) menu. We love fine dining, but we are not ones to go all-​in for quail eggs and sweet pea foam, but I must say we loved our meals, as well as the overall dinning experience. And just in case we were not sure how Delicious the food was, the picture taking (of the food) and sighs of delight coming from the foodie couple across from us put our minds to rest.
However, if that is absolutely not your cup of tea, and you feel like something other than the usual Italian fare, have the club sandwich in the lobby/​lounge, as a matter of fact go back for a second one. I don’t know what they do to that sandwich, but I still think about it today.
*Off the beaten path, yet VERY convenient.
*comfortable well appointed rooms.
*Beautiful views.
*Great service, helpful and friendly Staff.
*Fine dining
*Elegant yet charming atmosphere
I can’t wait for my next visit!

One of my favorite small, luxury hotels in all my travels. My wife and I have stayed here numerous times and they never disappoint. We brought our 3 kids here and they loved it too. Great location, nice breakfast. Make sure you ask for a room on the river side. More expensive but the view of the Ponte Vecchio at night is beautiful.

Only breakfast is served, but NO PROB in Florence! Nice hotel.
