Plaza Hotel Lucchesi

"A Gem in the Heart of Florence We just finished an incredible five-day stay at Albergo Luchesi, and we cannot say enough about this wonderful hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of. What We Loved: • The Accommodations: Our rooms were beautifully decorated, balancing classic elegance with modern comfort. It was the perfect sanctuary to return to after a day of exploring. • The Breakfast: Every morning started on a high note with a delicious breakfast. The selection was impressive, fresh, and provided the perfect fuel for our daily adventures. • The Dedicated Staff: The warmth and friendliness of the entire team truly set this hotel apart. A special thank you to the maids, who kept our room pristine, and the bartenders, who were so passionate and attentive. Their genuine care throughout our five days made us feel like honored guests. Summary If you are looking for a hotel that combines style with a warm, caring atmosphere, Albergo Luchesi is the place to be. The staff's passion for hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We are so appreciative of the wonderful memories! Sincerely, Steve & Celia Hulst, Doug & Jan Schrotenboer, Cal & Ardale Schrotenboer, Ron & Nancy Zagers"

"We are in the middle of a wonderful Italian spring break vacation with our two children and have been looking forward to Florence from the outset. As we pulled up to Lucchesi we noticed it was a little dated but were willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. After checking in with a curt, all-business front desk staff, we were taken to our room in an elevator that can only be described as smelling like a sewage pipe. It was so rancid, we had to cover our noses. The rooms were as minimal and unflavorfull as I have ever experienced. No art, bland colors, chipped paint, and a shower fit for a best western. The sewage odor continues in the room, or maybe it was burnt into our noses from the elevator. The fact that this hotel has 4 stars makes me rethink the validity of the entire “Star” system. Realistically this is a 2 Star hotel at best. Maybe once it was nice 30-40 years ago, but in an era when hospitality has evolved, this hotel is stuck in the past. We checked out and were willing to lose the cost of one night in order to make sure our trip was not ruined by this hotel. We got lucky and found an incredible boutique hotel that was available and not even much more money."

"Good Hotel on the River Arno. We enjoyed a room with river view comprising the Piazza de Michelangelo just opposite the River. THere is a top floor with Swimming pool (rather small) but it was not yet available for guests. The view from the terrasse is stunning and you see the Dome, the Campanile and the Santa Cruz Church ! Our room was small and well maintained. Breakfast in the form of a buffet offered what one can expect. Service and personel is friendly."
