Reviews of Palazzo Montebello
Kyle Rupley
We enjoyed an exceptional stay at this hotel. The facilities are beautiful, but the professionalism of the staff is what really stands out. Their personalized, detail-oriented, and courteous service made this a hotel I would choose again whenever I return to Florence.

We had a lovely stay! It was wonderful to be back in Florence and stay at the Montebello. All the staff at the hotel were attentive, the breakfast was great, and the location is perfect! It allows you the opportunity to have lovely walks by the river and watch the beautiful sunset light on the water. Perfection! When we next return to Florence, this will be our choice of hotel to stay.Thank you!

A luxurious hotel with wonderful staff! We stayed for three nights at this beautiful hotel in Florence. It’s a bit out of the way from attractions but we prefer that to a noisy spot.
