About
Mia Palace
Mia Palace sits on Via Della Fonderia, roughly a 20-minute walk from the Gallerie Degli Uffizi. It's a compact, no-frills base for exploring Florence on foot, with the Arno River and the historic center close at hand. The property provides Wi-Fi throughout and can arrange nearby parking, which is a notable convenience in this part of the city.
The rooms are straightforward but well-equipped, with air conditioning, heating, and flat-screen TVs. Several categories, including the Superior Double and Penthouse, offer river views, and the Penthouse adds a balcony. A shared kitchen and a leisure/TV room give guests extra space to relax. The staff earns frequent praise for their warmth and local knowledge.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The property doesn't accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
- Limited on-site parking — While parking is available nearby, it's not guaranteed on-site. Guests have mentioned free spots, but it's not a dedicated lot – plan ahead.
- Basic room features — Rooms may lack some extras like tea/coffee facilities or minibar as standard, and some guests have noted the simplicity of the furnishings.
- Walk to main sights is a stretch — While central, it's about 20 minutes on foot to the Uffizi, which may be far for some travelers, especially in summer heat.
