8.6Verified guest“The staff were incredibly friendly and hard-working, always ready to help with anything. The hotel felt a bit dated but was clean, tidy, and comfortable, with a lovely garden. Bathrooms were nice with plenty of hot water. Having tea and coffee in the room was a bonus, not typical for European hotels. The location was great, a bit out of the centre and away from the noise, but only a 10-minute walk to all of Florence's main attractions. I'd definitely go back.”
8.6Verified guest“Perfectly clean.”
8.6Verified guest“The breakfast was deliciousâvegetables, fruits, pie, cheese, ham, and more. The location is great, not in the noisy centre but just steps from main landmarks. Our room wasn't very large, but in Florence that's not important. The atmosphere is fabulous, and the owners are so kind and helpful. Many greetings from Moscow and arrivederci! Hope to see you soon.”
8.6Verified guest“It was calm, clean, and close to the main tourist places.”
8.6Verified guest“The queen room was spacious, clean, and had stylish decor that felt luxurious. The staff at reception were super helpful, and the location provided a peaceful atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle.”
8.6Verified guest“We loved our stay! Great price compared to other Florence hotels, good location for sightseeing, and the staff was very helpful. The room was beautiful, with a window we could open to see greenery and listen to the rain overnight. Coming late in the season, rain wasn't unusual. A great find.”
