Perfect location, superb room, + wonderful staff - a brilliant stay all round!
Pleasant stay, very convenient location with plenty of good eateries and bars nearby. Clean and comfortable bed, could do with firmer pillows, nice seating area in the room. Nice clean bathroom, typically Italian breakfast for 7 euro. Would stay again for the location.

There was a lot of “self help” required. The desk shuts down at 5ish and it’s back till around 8. Breakfast is optional at this “B&B”, but it’s only €7.
The housekeeping was excellent and the shower was great.
Beautiful place, nice rooms , very clean, historic building, close to restaurants, shopping, just a couple streets from the Duomo , the breakfast was delicious, I love the coffee they serve you , and the breakfast it’s included.

The location cannot be beat however the room did not appear to be the same as the photos. It's a bit older and the sound proofing isn't great. They also have very limited working hours for check-in.
this is the best place! the breakfast was wonderful and we we even left a gift of olive oil when we left, i will stay there again no problem! it was in the perfect area too!
Fantastic B&B! Very nice owners and in a great location. Very affordable as well. Breakfast included from 7:30-9:30 which is a great deal but would wish for it to be extended a bit longer.
Perfect location . Located in beautiful building with elevator. Walk to sites all within 15 to so minutea/. Very good sound proofing when windows closed. Excellent AC . Appreciated help with calling taxi when we left. The only possible issue is entering building - have to call by home cell phone so more difficult with eSIM. Cafe, breakfast, gelato, take our lunch sandwiches , grocery , pharmacy, ATM, all less than 5 minute walk away
This B&B is in a perfect location for walking around Florence. You are near enough to most of the famous sights and there are many good eating places nearby. Luciano, the proprietor, had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.
Stayed here with my boyfriend for just a night but had such a lovely experience! Communication was great and the instructions for our late check in were easy to follow. The room was clean and comfortable and the surrounding area was peaceful while still having lots of dining options and being easily walkable to all of the sights and museums around the duomo. We will definitely stay again when we find ourselves back in Florence!
Our stay was amazing! We felt well taken care of and the property was very flexible with our check in time. The location is very central allowing us to easily walk everywhere in Florence. Our room was very spacious and comfortable and exactly what we needed for our 3 night stay. Breakfast was good too!
What a great place to stay. It was so conveniently located and easy to get to everything. The room was perfect. The staff were very helpful. I loved the sandwich shop 2 doors over.
