Very clean, tidy and well-located hotel. Just 5 minutes from Florence/Firenze train station, trams and busses. Good breakfast with made-to-order eggs. Staff very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

This quaint hotel was our favourite in Italy! The location was perfectly situated. We easily walked to all attractions, woke to the sound of horses trotting and always felt safe. The inclusive breakfast was a la cart and delicious. The triple room was comfortable for our family of 4. We loved Florence & Hotel La Scala !

The rooms, on the other hand, fulfill their fu...
