Hotel Offer – J.K. Place Firenze, Florence, Italy

J.K. Place Firenze is a rather unusual boutique hotel – décor that has accumulated and altered over several years rather than planned all at once, with each of the rooms completely different from the other, and not necessarily much to offer with regard to the standard resort-style amenities, such as pools or spas or multiple restaurants. Despite this, J.K. Place Firenze regularly outranks its more conventional competitors, with rave reviews from guests applauding its exceptional and knowledgeable staff, cozy and intimate design, unsurpassed location and extraordinarily comfortable beds. Here, the hotel is small enough that you will get to know the staff and they’ll get to know you, which means better service, customised for your needs.

Bon Vivant’s members will receive a complimentary upgrade on arrival, fresh seasonal organic fruit basket in your room and complimentary buffet breakfast, mini bar (soft drinks) and wifi. To make a reservation, please click here.
