The intimate scale (maximum 150 guests indoors) suits couples prioritizing proximity between venue, lodging, and celebration.
We stayed at Casa Howard and in the Drawing room suite over Christmas and had the absolute best experience, exceeding all our expectations! The hotel is centrally located but just s distance away from the most intense tourism streams. During our stay the staff was always incredibly helpful, welcoming and made us feel like home. The only thing that could have elevated the stay would be if they could have a reception on the first level of the building making it more luxurious and welcoming. A bar for the guests would also be amazing. Other than that - no remarks! Will always stay here when in Firenze!
