Reviews of Ricasoli Garden Relais

  • Kim from South Korea (10/10)

    The location is the best. It is 5 minute walk to Duomo. For dinner, most restaurants in Duomo are expensive and only tourist places. If you go 10 minutes to North or west of this hotel, you will find good and less tourist style restaurants.
    My wife and I had Doumo or Uffizi tour and came back to the hotel room to re-energize, then went to another tour.
    Perfect loction for tour. Of course my room was very clean.
    The host, Neri is super kind. You may ask anything you want.

  • Moran from Israel (10/10)

    We had an amazing room, big with a lounge area and complimentary hot drinks and snacks. The man behind the desk was very nice. The breakfast vouchers were great (2 pasties, a hot and cold drink per person) and the cafe was a few minutes walk from the hotel.
