Hotel Silla, Florence, Italy: Perfect location

Our family of 5, myself, my husband and 3 sons (ages 13, 16 and 18) spent 3 wonderful days in Florence at Hotel Silla. This gem of a hotel is perfectly located. It is situated on the left bank of the Arno river and is a 5 minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio and the old town. The breakfast is included and is served on a lovely outdoor terrace lined with beautiful flowers. The breakfast consisted of delicious cappucino, hot chocolate, pastries, egg, fruit, yogurt, ham and more. The serving staff always had a smile and was very attentive.
Our room was quiet and spacious (we booked one family room that accommodated all 5 of us) with the most helpful hotel staff we have ever encountered. The hotel overall is quaint.Parking is available at a reasonable price.
The staff gave us the best tips about sights, restaurants (La Maremma, our favorite) and shopping. The hotel gives free use of a lap top with internet to their guests and printed directions for us. Next door to the hotel was a small grocery store which was perfect to pick up a snack of bread, cheese, and salami for our always famished boys.
I would definitely recommend Hotel Silla as the perfect place to stay in Florence.
