Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Casci

Via Cavour 13, Florence, Tuscany, 50129, Italy

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

In this refurbished 14th-century palace, the home of Giacchino Rossini from 1851 to 1855, the friendly Lombardi family runs a hotel with spotless, functional rooms. Many of them open out onto various terraces (a view doesn't necessarily follow, however) and easily accommodate an extra bed or two; a number of triples and quads are available. It's on a busy thoroughfare, but triple-glazed windows allow for a sound night's sleep.

PROS

  • helpful staff
  • good option for families
  • English-language DVD collection with good selections for kids

CONS

  • bit of a college-dorm atmosphere
  • small elevator
