Guests consistently praise Ricasoli Garden Relais for its spacious and clean rooms, often highlighting the modern bathrooms and in-room amenities such as coffee machines. Its superb central location, just a short walk from the Duomo and other major attractions, makes it easy to explore Florence.

I booked a King room with a garden view. The room was large, it had plenty of room to settle in. The garden courtyard was quaint. It was lovely. Built in USB ports made for easy charging.

The room was great, but I found the soundproofing could be better (i could hear some noise from adjacent rooms).

The room was quiet (which I appreciated). The bed was also very comfortable.

The air conditioning didn't work properly. It dripped water all night and made sleep difficult. I also reported it, but nothing got fixed. VERY annoying.
