Residenza Gambrinus Florence occupies the fourth floor of a building on Via de’ Brunelleschi that, according to the property, once housed a cinema. It has rooms with a contemporary design, some with views of the rooftops. It is for anyone who wants to be a few minutes from Ponte Vecchio and Piazza della Signoria.
Location and getting around
From here, Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria and the Duomo are about a 5-minute walk away. The Uffizi is about 10 minutes away.
Santa Maria Novella station can also be reached in about 10 minutes on foot. Palazzo Pitti, across the Arno, is about 15. To see other addresses in this category, see the guesthouses.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms have parquet floors, air conditioning, satellite television, free wifi and a small fridge. Some overlook a small inner garden and others the rooftops of Florence.
It is not stated whether breakfast is served. As the fridge is small, it is enough for water, fruit or a snack, not for a several-day shop. Ask for a room with rooftop views if that interests you; not all have them.
Who it suits
- A good fit if you are interested in the Oltrarno and want Ponte Vecchio five minutes away.
- A good fit if you like buildings with their own history.
- Ideal if you arrive in the evening: check-in runs until 22:00.
Good to know
