“Hotel Cardinal's rooftop terrace seals the deal, offering knockout panoramic views of Florence, though you'll need to be reasonably fit to tackle the 70-odd steps up to the hotel. This small hotel fosters lasting relationships with guests through above-and-beyond service, including free porterage. With its location in one of Florence's oldest districts, you're a short walk from the Duomo and major attractions.”
