Lovely B&B in Florence
This is a great place to stay to explore Florence. Clean, quiet, and just a 15 minute walk from the centre. Special mention to Joan who put on a great breakfast every morning to set you up for the day. Highly recommend.

Amazing!
Amazing service! So friendly and welcoming. Very good breakfast!
Very basic and simple, bur when youre on holiday that is all you need!
I had the room on the top floor that is up a spiral staircase, but i was helped with my suitcase up, but people with mobility issues may struggle. Also the ceiling is very low,l in that room. but that was no issue for me!
Overall one of the best b and bs i hsve stayed in, also in an idesl location for exploring florence!

Fantastic place to stay
Just returned from a fantastic stay I can’t express how overjoyed and Impressed with the accommodation, service I received. The breakfast was amazing! Cleanliness was excellent. I was lucky to have a whole little area including bedroom and separate bathroom and little balcony which was exclusive for the single room.
I can’t recommend staying at the hotel enough the garden is beautiful too. .

Agnes and her staff were friendly and helpful. Great location! Just be careful the single rental upstairs wouldn’t be suitable for a person over 5’9” tall it has a low ceiling and a small spiral staircase upstairs. Worked well for me 🙏

Staff were so kind and helpful. Whilst like room was small it was well planned and had everything we needed. Breakfast was lovely and so nice eating on our own little terrace, garden was very pretty. Coffee and snacks left out for you to help yourself which was great when you get back from a long day sightseeing. Would definitely visit again 😊

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would gladly recommend it to anyone seeking a short-term accommodation. The breakfast was delightful, and the garden added to the serene atmosphere. However, the only drawback was the lack of communication regarding check-in instructions. Arriving after 3 PM without receiving any email left me locked out for about an hour. Unfortunately, I couldn't contact them due to not having a SIM card. It's essential to ensure all guests have access to necessary information, as not everyone may have the means to call for assistance

This property is a real gem . Excellent value. A little away from the centre but still walkable. Joan was excellent as hostess. Made me feel right at home. Offered a lot of useful tourist advice. Breakfast buffet healthy and filling. Highly recommended 5/5
