3 Gigli Florence

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve walked past 3 Gigli Florence probably fifty times before I actually stayed there, and honestly, I was kicking myself for waiting so long. It sits right on this little square – Piazza del Tiratoio – that most tourists completely miss because they’re bee-lining from the Ponte Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti. But that’s exactly what makes this place special. You’re in San Frediano, which is where actual Florentines hang out, not just where they work.

The hotel itself feels like someone’s incredibly stylish Florentine aunt decided to open her doors to guests. I mean, it’s got that 4-star polish – the kind where your towels are actually fluffy and the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes – but without any of that sterile chain hotel vibe. The rooms have these gorgeous original details (we’re talking frescoed ceilings in some) mixed with modern stuff that actually works. My shower had proper water pressure, which… well, if you’ve stayed in historic Italian hotels before, you know that’s not always a given. The whole place smells faintly of leather and good coffee, probably drifting up from the lobby where they serve this ridiculously strong espresso that’ll wake you up faster than any alarm clock.

What really won me over was the location – and I don’t mean that in some generic “convenient location” way. I mean you can walk to the Oltrarno workshops where they’re still doing traditional bookbinding and goldsmithing (try explaining that to friends back home), grab aperitivo at Il Santino which is literally around the corner, and then stumble back without dealing with the crowds that clog up the main tourist drags. The morning light hits the piazza just right around 8 AM, and you’ll probably find yourself lingering over breakfast longer than planned just watching the neighborhood wake up. Sure, you’ll hear some street noise – it’s Florence, not a monastery – but it’s the good kind of noise. Kids playing, neighbors chatting, the occasional Vespa. Actually adds to the whole experience if you ask me. The staff seems to get that they’re not just running a hotel, they’re sharing their neighborhood, and they’ll point you toward the family-run trattoria two blocks down instead of the tourist trap everyone else recommends. With that 8.9 rating, they’re clearly doing something right, and after spending three nights there, I can tell you it’s earned.

Reviews

• No regrets! – Doug from United Kingdom – 7 July 2025 (10/10)

  Great location. Spacious. Had everything needed. Appreciated the hosts helpfulness.
  
  What could be improved: Odd smell in the kitchenette that stayed over the four days. On the last day, the front door code wasn't working but we had keys so it was a non-issue! Aside from that, everything good! Thank you

• Passable – Tanmay from Germany – 27 June 2025 (5/10)

  The staff was very helpful and responsive. They really tried to hrlp us.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately 3 Gigli did not leave a great impression. When we got to the apartment there was a strange smell and the staff tried to treat it but the smell remained. Everything else was similar. There was a washing machine but not clothe lines or detergent. There was a coffee machine but no capsules. These small things added up to not make a great experience.

• Apartamento muy recomendable para visitar Florencia en familia – Diego from Spain – 6 July 2025 (10/10)

  Está situado en un buen lugar,centro de un puente y aunque hay varios Restaurantes cerca,es tranquilo.
  La atención vía WhatsApp excelente.
  El equipamiento muy bueno y muy recomendable para familias.Estuvimos 3 adultos y una bebé de 1 año,que estuvo muy a gusto.
  
  What could be improved: Aunque sabemos que es lo habitual en Florencia, las escaleras podría ser la única pega,no son muchas pero para personas con movilidad reducida se haría complicado.
