“Leone Blu Suites, part of the Una Esperienze collection, felt surprisingly like a museum, especially with its riverside location that makes dining out easy; the staff elevated the experience with attentive and friendly service. I found the hotel strikes a superb balance between a prime location and exceptional staff, which made my stay feel both special and deeply comfortable. I would recommend it for a uniquely Florentine visit.”
