Such a magnificent hotel. We were greeted right at our car and from that moment, the wonderful kind staff gave us their full attention. We appreciated so many small details like chocolates in our room, multiple towels, Nespresso espresso machine, bottled water. The room was spotlessly clean and so charming with original stone walls and exciting art pieces. The sheets and pillows and quilts were of the highest caliber. What a comfortable bed after a long travel day. We had drinks and apps at the Angel rooftop bar and dinner at Mezze. Both were wonderful. Of course, the location was why we chose Hotel Calimala. It’s in the very heart of Florence. I can’t praise this place enough. Just perfection.

Artsy design, beautiful hotel, and fun vibe especially rooftop for dinner and views. Staff was friendly. However, I could not sleep one wink. It was so loud all hours throughout the night from the bar crawlers on the streets, to the plumbing noises, to high heels above me. I hate to give this a poor review because I had the best time until I tried to sleep.

Stay started off terrible! The view I paid for was definitely not work the money! With in 10 mins of being in my room I reached out to the hotel! They said they couldn’t control what happens outside of their hotel meaning the construction that I would have been forced to look at if I opted to stay in that room. I was willing to cancel my stay and find another room. The initial excitement was taken away due to the rooms view and what I thought I’d have based on Expedia pictures ! having to go to the front desk then having to move! As a mentioned in a previous review i don’t like how they treat tourist ( American ). The hotel is in walking distance of a lot of attractions however I didn’t feel comfortable asking for any recommendations after my experience at check in! Won’t visit again! There are so many hotels in the area I would be willing to give a try to if I ever visit Florence again! Wouldn’t say that the hotel wasn’t worth $1000.00 for two nights

Just book!

After thorough and extensive research on where to stay, me and my fiancé decided to stay at Hotel Calimala and it was absolutely perfect. I've heard horror stories of people being catfished by hotels (in Italy in general) but it was exactly, if not better, what I expected. The service and hospitality was top-notch from the jump. They welcome with you a glass of Prosecco at the main bar and a staff member will personally walk you to your room and explain everything. Location couldn't have been better. We were at the epicenter of everything so it was easy to navigate around the city. We adored the rooftop as it provided spectacular views and plenty of seating with great ambiance. They had an event going on one night we were there, and the line was out the door. On our last day, we asked for a slightly later checkout and they easily accommodated. Not only that, we had a later flight, they held our luggage while we roamed around. Our stuff was fine, and staff again, were so attentive. All this to say, this hotel was featured for a reason. Just book!

Location, location, location! Combined with excellent customer service, welcome Prosecco and a beautiful room with exposed brick looking out onto the Florence streets, I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. We stayed with our son and he had a comfortable cot in our room, making it a wonderful choice for our family of 3. It is walkable to major sites - make sure to walk to the Il Mercado Centrale for browsing and eating.

The service at this hotel was truly exceptional. The staff were not only friendly but also remarkably attentive — they knew guests by name and remembered individual requests. All of our preferences were accommodated promptly and to the highest standard. The room itself was spotless and well-maintained. Housekeeping was consistently excellent and scheduled at a time that was most convenient for us. The location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of the city, with all major attractions within a comfortable 5–10 minute walk. Overall, our experience was seamless and exceeded expectations. Highly recommended.

Loud music until 1 and 2 AM right outside our window both nights we were there. Location and property was otherwise great, but lack of sleep completely ruined our trip and iur experience of Florence. Would not recommend staying at the hotel under any circumstances.
