My husband surprised me with 2 nights at this wonderful hotel.
From the moment we arrived everyone was so helpful and the suite was heavenly. We stayed in a Feroni suite and it was amazing. Such a beautiful place to stay in a magical city like Florence. Monica and her staff made our stay very special....

We received a private invitation to enjoy a birthday drink for my mother on the roof terrace of this beautiful palazzo as we are staying at the wonderful Hotel Plaza Lucchesi. Mano looked after us all evening and we enjoyed a lovely bottle of red wine from the hotel owner's vineyard. Thank you Mano for making my mum's birthday holiday to Florence that extra bit special for her last evening, you are one in a million!.....We hope to stay at your hotel in the near future....Grazie!

This review is long overdue....My wife I and I stayed at the PMF in August of '05 while on our honeymoon. This is not only the best hotel we stayed in during this trip (which included the 5-star Westin in Rome and other great hotels in Italy), but it's the best hotel I've ever stayed in and I've stayed in hotels all across the US, as well as the UAE, China / Hong Kong, Australia, etc. This is THE HOTEL by which I compare all others.
To say the rooms are well appointed is an understatment. The rooms are decorated like little museums. We had floor-to-ceiling bookshelves w/ pictures / paintings and BUSTS on the shelves - unbelievable.

There are only 11 or 12 rooms in this hotel and they're all suites. They're not even numbered, they are named after the family members; we stayed in the "Livia" room.

On entering the room, we had to take time and tour / enjoy the entire room. There were 3 separate rooms w/in our room: the sitting room / ante-chamer which itself had to be 300SF and had big comfy chairs, a couch, a table w/ more chairs and the bookcase; a bedroom w/ a nice comfy bed (might've been a queen, but I think it was a king); and the bathroom which was HUGE, especially for Europe. The bathroom included a separate, glass-encased shower and plenty of room for my wife and I to do our grooming / cleaning in the same bathroom.

After the tour, we reviewed the soap choices (no kidding)...the hotel had a box of FRESH soaps and encouraged us to select the 1 or 2 we liked the most and they'd have those kinds sent up to our room for our use - nice, right?
So, long and short of it, the room was great! Not a great view off the small balcony, but the room itself was spectacular.

The rest of the hotel was just charming, very well decorated and it had fresh flowers everywhere. The rooftop lounge itself was just fantastic and reason enough for visiting this hotel, even if you're not staying there. We got lucky and visited during a full moon under which we sat, listened to nice music and could look out over Florence's famous Duomo and Bapistry, as well as another church tower closer to our hotel. Talk about a ROMANTIC honeymoon!!! Also, the hotel is a 15-minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio and about 30 minutes from the Galleria d'ella Acadamie where Mike's David is located. So it's not in the heart of Florence, but it suited me just fine.

Breakfast was served in a common room every morning and while it probably wasn't the best breakfast spread we had during our honeymoon (that honor would go to the Hotel Villa Ducale in Taormina, Sicily), it was certainly good and abundant, with fresh fruit, cereals and GREAT Italian coffee.

The last and most important item is about service. This anecdote typifies the service we received while at the PMF:
Our first day there, we stopped by the Front Desk and enquired about 2 things:
1) Did they have a recommendation for dinner?
2) We heard there was an Italian outlet mall nearby not to be missed...could they get us more information on that?
- When we returned, we found two typed memos in our box, which the desk clerk handed to us, the first told us they'd made a dinner reservation for us at their recommended location and a car would be at the hotel to pick us up beforehand (for a fee, but we could cancel the car if we wanted to, with no penalty). The second memo informed us about the outlet mall nearby and again, a car had been reserved for us and would pick us up whenever we wanted to in the morning.
Two typed memos....all arrangements handled by the hotel...cars, dinner reservations, whatever...just fantastic. I have never received more personalized service at any other hotel, bar none.

That's it..if / when we get back to Europe, we're going to Italy, we're going to Florence and we're staying at the Palazzo Magnani Feroni. IT IS NOT TO BE MISSED!

We stayed for a supposed 6 nights in April for our 10th Wedding anniversary.
On arrival (we drove from Nice) the luggage ran out to take the car away for me when we were blocking lots of traffic - good move, great service - I know why now. The rates were 40 euros a day for parking! More than the car cost to rent!
They upgraded us to a suite - ground floor Lucrieze or something - nice but not overwhelming room - did not even use the separate seating area apart from the safe and the other TV remote as the one in the bedroom did not work!.
Bed, wardrobes, etc were lovely. Bathroom pretty poor for the price we were paying. When will these places realise that the shower is really important!!!!!
Different soaps etc - nice touch but not really necessary.
The place had no atmosphere -yea go headover heels for the building and the public areas, but there is not real feeling. Summer upstairs on the terrace maybe some good times, but not as good as you get from the Porcuspino Restaurant with Frank and his team!
Breakfast area outstanding? Never. poor. Paying extra for your eggs - when did this ever happen folks? Went in there once and never went back!!!
We wanted to go back home early as the weather was poor and Florence had been Done to death by foot and the Tuscan hills were invisible due to the fog - so we got a flight from Rome and the girl was very helpful with the car rental arrangements (still cost me 400 euros to drop off a french car in italy though) - if the hotel had really had some atmosphere we may have stayed for the duration , but no.
Good points - location. location. location. Nothing more
Oh they did discount some of the parking when we complained, but the internet usage needs to be paid for.
Freebie newspaper was there in the morning without asking.
Did not like having to ring a bell though to get in.
Next time we will stay in a residence or maybe on the hills at Hotel Torre di Bellosguardo? We wil see.
