We just returned home from a great California adventure trip (we live in CA) planned around seeing the show Wicked in SF. Once tickets were secured the next thing I did was book a Jr. Suite at the Villa Florence where we have stayed before. It doesn't disappoint. There are so many things we love about it aside from it's location (right off of Union Square). This time we stayed three nights and found the staff especially attentive to our every need. The bellmen are some of the best in the city I am certain.
We ate at Kuleto's for breakfast with friends and as usual it was fabulous, after seeing the show we enjoyed a cheese and salami plate with wine at the recently added Bar Norcini. The person who helped us was very knowledgeable about varieties and parings.
We love the European feel of this hotel as it reminds us of other travels - there is a quaintness that I have come to appreciate and look forward to. This is NOT a huge hotel with vast spaces and expansive halls. The rooms are well furnished, the beds and linens are very comfortable and the bathrooms are clean and well appointed - but the facilities are not expansive. You will be comfortable and it is surprisingly quiet for a hotel in the middle of the city. Excellent value.
