The Silla was recommended to us by Italian-American friends who have stayed there many times and know Florence well. We were not only welcomed with gracious attention but our emails prior to arrival were answered promptly and our requests were fulfilled. For the price, we did not expect this level of service and were more than pleased. Breakfast on the... more

Brilliant, quiet, family run, view over Arno, 5 mins walk from ponte vecchio - ask for room 23 or equivalent - aircond is whisper quiet but enough to mask traffic and partner's snoring. Recent refurbish is good though ensuite is small - who cares the shower works well. Lovely terrace for breakfast or drinks - minibar in room will take... more

We totally got lost on our drive into Florence (note: follow all the directions on the Hotel website for driving in except for the bridges! Just hop across the river on the first one you come to and ask a local for ponte alla grazie (spelling?), the hotel is just before this bridge behind a park/square of trees). We had... more

Booked a triple room for our visit to Florence. Excellent location close to the Arno 5 min to Ponte Viechio, clean and ample rooms, nice breakfast terrace to enjoy in sunny days. Very helpful multi-lingual staff, all of them are pleasant and ready to provide you with any information needed, whether at reception or at the bar or the concierge... more

My daughter and I stayed here for a week in early June, in order to attend a wedding of a friend, now living in Florence. What a great choice it was. The staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating and efficient. Our room overlooked the Arno and I could open the large double windows and look out onto... more

I can't say enough about how wonderful the Hotel Silla is. We booked 2 triple rooms along the back of the hotel (one king and one twin). Rooms are spacious, clean, have blow dryers, bidets, great water pressure & you can get adapters at the front desk if needed. They serve breakfast on the terrace, weather permitting and it is... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Silla over 4 days in June, and had a really nice time here. We had a basic room on the bottom floor that was small, which we expected, but it was still nice and clean. I thought the best things about the hotel were the location, which made getting to the Uffizi... more

We just returned from 3 nights in Florence at the Hotel Silla and were very pleased with our choice. We knew going into it that the room would be basic and small - we had intentionally chosen the "small room" knowing we would not be in our room much. The shower and toilet were both within the same shower curtain... more

We spent 5 nights here. The hotel is on the river and we had a view of the terrace and the river with the Ponte Vecchio visible. The location is convenient to walk to most of the major sites that we wanted to see. The room was standard size, similar to others we stayed in on this trip. Staff was... more
