Right on the Arno, a short hop to the Oltrarno, where a lot of the better dining and nightlife exists. They have a fine breakfast, large rooms, very comfortable. The real draw are the two wonderful proprietors, who make you feel like a member of their family. They can truly help with anything. For the price, this is a really... more

Owners Emmanuele and Barbara are the consummate hosts. We felt like family, not merely another foreign couple in Florence for the first time. While the hotel amenities are luxurious, their personal attention is peerless, whether explaining directions, planning an itinerary or securing a restaurant reservation. Not to be missed!

Just back from 7 nights in this hotel. We selected the Privilege on TripAdviser scores. It lived up to its excellent reputation. Small (18 rooms, I think) but giving above average space to each room. It seems ideal for adult couples, being too small for large group bookings. Superb location on River Arno, it is out of the very busy... more

Wonderful little hotel only 10 minutes from Ponte Vecchio, right on the river Arno. Location is near two bus stops. Hotel owners were always available and especially friendly (English speaking). Owners made great recommendations for sites and restaurants. Nice breakfast. Room was reasonable size, although decor was a little dated. Shower was a bit small. Excellent price and excellent value.... more

Having become accostumed to 4 star establishments, I was very pleased to find that Hotel Privilege, except for the smallness of the bathroom, was an extremely comfortable place to stay. Triple pane window kept the very spacious, clean, room perfectly... more

My husband loved the big tub. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting... more

I went to Europe for the first time in May 2007. My friend (a veteran traveler) and I spent about 6 weeks meticulously planning a two-week tour of France and Italy. One leg of our trip led us to Florence. We had booked our stay at the Hotel Privilege online, and were hoping it was going to be okay. Well,... more

This hotel has the most delightful host and hostess. They are a married couple who seem to always be available (don't they ever go home?). We felt most welcomed every time we came through the door way. The breakfasts were super! Boiled eggs, tortes, cheese, lox, fruit, juices, yogurt, espresso or cappuchino, milk, sliced meats--with encouragement from the hostess (You... more
