I felt very welcome here. The place is everything I needed for a solo trip. Very well managed. Matteo is very nice and staff is also attentive. The breakfast area is well kept. Coffee machine is excellent. Very walkable. I’d stay here again.
Very convenient location. Close to train station and city centre. We walked Florence. Did not need public transport.
Accomodation clean and comfortable. We were given nice Italian breakfast every morning. Enjoyed our stay here.
Only down side lift is too small. Only fits 1 person at a time. Accommodation on 2nd floor. If you have issues with stairs may not be for you.
Overall good experience and would stay again
A little noisy inside the house because the door locks are sometimes hard to get. The stairs to reach the floor are quite steep and there are no lights; breakfast was average. Other than this the place is super well located and the owner is a very nice person.
tutto ok, come da aspettative personale gentile e ubicazione comoda e centrale, pratica per raggiungere il centro ed i punti di maggiore interesse a Firenze
Centraal gelegen, alle belangrijke plekken op loopafstand en dichtbij het centraal station. Matteo is een prima gastheer die goed communiceert en snel reageert op vragen via de site. Hij was steeds bereid ons te informeren over interessante plaatsen in Florence.
Matteo was so warm and welcoming! The breakfast was nice with yummy pastries and fruit, yoghurt, cereals, the works! The building is a bit rundown, but the location is great and the rooms were very pleasant, even if a bit small.
El hotel está muy bien situado.
La habitación y el baño estaban perfectamente limpios.
Desayuno variado.
El trato de Matteo, inmejorable.
Lo recomendaremos y volveremos! :)
Location is unbeatable walking distance with ur heavy luggage from the train station yet it's not shady. Very very nice owner helped us with our wifi problem and everything else. Easy walk to all sights. The hotel made us felt like home. I will come back when I visit Florence again!

Sehr gute Lage. Laut, wegen Strassenlärm.
Sehr netter Empfang. Sehr nette Verabschiedung. Frühstück sehr klein aber okay. Nur wenige Zimmer in einem normalen Wohnhaus.
Arco Antico is very close to Firenze SMN station, the host Matteo is a super nice guy. We arrived Florence early in the morning, he quickly introduced us the major sightseeing spots in Florence, offered us breakfast and quickly prepared the room so that we can check in early. 10 mins walking distance to the museum where statue of David is locate, and also to some other sightseeing spots as well. I love the cute little lift which is a lovely experience staying at Arco Antico. The room is spacious, clean and quiet. Good wifi connection. Will definitely stay there again if we travel to Florence next time. Love it!
I picked this B&B because it was convenient to the train station - and that it was. A five minute walk. Also just a 10 minute walk to most of the main sites. The breakfast also had a good variety of food - nothing hot, but sufficient. Room was clean and a good size. Only complaint would be the bed was not very comfortable in rm 1. Also, the side street the hotel was on was a lot busier than one would think, because it is a shortcut from the train station to the main road. So would recommend staying on the back side of the B&B. Otherwise fine - just a little more than I would have liked to have paid for what you are getting
