I do NOT recommend for tourist. We had 2 horrible nights. This is a guest house so shared amenities and such but with the other guest it was hard to relax with people coming and going throughout the night. There were people the first night making food and smashing dishes in the kitchen until midnight and while we respect the culture, we rise early and did not sleep well or at all. The second night someone was slamming and banging on the door and buzzer to be let in and yelling for quite some time. When we tried to call the host, he only said some one missed check in and nothing was really done about it! After that experience we did not feel safe to stay there any more, even if it was another guest trying to check in, having someone try to kick the door down during the night was enough that we had to leave.

We left two nights into our four night booking.The manager Alfonzo refused to refund us our money for the last two nights and called us liars when we explained what happened.

I have not left a bad review for a service before but this was a terrible experience.

A great place to stay when visiting Florence. Conveniently located on bus and tram lines but also walkable into the historical centre (20-30 minutes walk, 10-15 min bus/tram). Room with own bathroom and terrace was spacious and as advertised. Also a decent-sized kitchen available for use by all, including fridge and two hobs. Basics such as olive oil, sugar and salt all on hand. There’s also a coffee machine with pods (one per person per day) and kettle. Seating inside and on terrace. Arrived with Flixbus at Villa Constanza and able to get tram and then bus which stops virtually outside (about 30-40 min journey). A little noisy as on a main road but would definitely recommend and would stay here again if visiting Florence.

The property was very nice and cosy. They had a full kitchen with an electric stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The only downside was the lack of any type of A/C. They had a fan but being one of the hottest days in Italy, (104°f) the fan was not doing much.

It was wonderful time for me and my son. The room was not big but cosy. The hotel is placed near T2 tram line ( between the airport and railway station), very comfortable to reach. Well organized kitchen with the possibility to eat on wonderful terrace. We are very grateful to Mario and Dominico for this beautiful stay.

we booked the hotel for the kids because they arrived after 11 PM on their flight from London. When they got there the Hotelier said they did not confirm and they were late for check in so their room was given away. Not sure if we will get our money back since it is oversees. They never got to see the room they were treated poorly

Would stay again

Mario was wonderful and had so many helpful recommendations to give us when checking in. The room was bigger and better than expected. The only complaint we have is that there was no A/C but we knew that going into. There is also a lot of traffic outside at night, so keeping the window open to cool the room isn’t such a great idea if you’re a light sleeper.

We really lucked in when we found L'Aranceto! It's a wonderful guest house in a fabulous location - only 30 minute walk to historic Florence. Nestled among some great restaurants, cafes and right by a grocery store. Domenico and Mario were wonderful hosts - extremely helpful with lots of practical information about the city. Would definitely stay there again!!

Florence for a family

We booked as a couple and a teen son, and thought correspondence had confirmed our change in plans and that our 20s daughter would also join us. Upon arrival we were confused to have only beds for 3, but agreed on a price to add a fourth bed. At checkout, I didn’t go down and later found out my husband was charged more than agreed upon for the extra person. The stay was short, only two nights, but the attic apartment with private bath and kitchenette fit our needs well. We were visiting in April, with great spring weather, but ran the air con in the attic and wonder if the air conditioning would be sufficient in summer. Location was okay, very near a bus stop and a few restaurants. We had been warned to not stay in the city centre with a rental car, because of parking, but when we walked around much closer to the center there were spots to be found, and as we were there on a weekend they would have been free. Depending on the time of year and crowds, I’d likely choose to stay closer in to the main museums. The attic is accessed by stairs only, including a tight, wraught iron spiral variety, so it would be difficult for some to climb, or to get large luggage up.

Hosts can be more friendly

Not so good. We gently asked the hosts to receive our bags before check in time or give us a solution. But nothing happened.
We asked the hosts how to get to the airport but didn’t explain how long could it take to wait for the shuttle or where to take it.

Beautiful room and home! Close to lots of things!

I am a young female and I was traveling throughout Europe on a solo trip! This guest house was close to a grocery store, restaurants, and a bus stop that took you all over Firenze including to the main train station and all of this was within a 2 minute walk! I felt extremely safe with the guys who ran the house and in the neighborhood. The owners also allow you to rent a bike from them so transportation was not an issue! The room was huge and the bed was nice. Two things that might be an inconvenience for some but not a major issue was: the shower was outside of the room as this was a guest house and not a hotel and there was some noise from the street right outside my window at night and in the morning. Other than that this was a wonderful place and you will enjoy your stay just as I did!

We were greeted by a friendly host who helped with our bags to the room, gave us a city map and gave us some tips and directions to landmarks, public transport etc.
Hotel is old but clean and comfortable
It can be a bit noisy (thin walls, so you can hear every time people open abd close doors etc).
GOod kitchen facilities.

Thanks For A Nice Stay

The price was incredible for a nice room. I liked having a complete kitchen and the patio area where I enjoyed my food and beverage. The owners were wonderful. They owner did everything to make my stay comfortable. They took the time to explain the local transportation and recommended restaurants. I over slept in on the last morning and missed the check out time. They did not try to rush me. Thank for an enjoyable stay in a wonderful city.

Kindness and flexiblity in Florence

We enjoyed staying at the guest house. The guy who checked us in was very friendly and helpful. Kitchen was a little tight for more than a couple people wanting to prepare food and there were restrictive with only set times we could prepare meals in the kitchen which stressed me only slightly. They we're also most kind on letting us leave our bags while we finished our last day in Florence. Ever so grateful.

Convenient location and helpful staff.

The Apartment was easy to find with easy access pay parking on the street in front. The apartment itself was nothing fancy, but we chose it more for it's location and I would say that it met our expectations given the price point. The small outside patio was a nice touch and the air conditioning inside worked well. We received a dinner recommendation to a fantastic little restaurant around the corner called, \"Ristorante Il Templari,\" that we can absolutely recommend. The service was exemplary, the food delicious and the pricing very reasonable.
The apartment is located just 1km from the historic downtown core, which was fortunate because everywhere we went to get bus tickets seemed to be sold out, so we ended up just walking into the core and then busing back in the evening.

All in all I'd say it was a very pleasant experience and would recommend you consider it as an option if you're looking for convenient, no-frills accommodation at an affordable price. Staff was very pleasant and helpful, apartment was safe and Florence is a lovely city to explore. Enjoy!

Absolutely Phenomenal!

Great hotel, Domenic at the front desk is an absolute asset. Great suggestions about restaurants and travel around the Florence area. Was extremely helpful in providing the map and marking places of interest and the like. Great balancony area. Inexpensive place to stay. The washer is a huge asset when you have kids and clothes to wash. So you don't have to travel with much. It was a quick 10 min stop by taxi to the SMN train station. Bus stop on the parallel street that takes you right into town.

Very easy to get to from Firenze S.M.N.

Enjoyed my stay in this guesthouse. The room was cozy and comfortable. Loved the high ceiling. The kitchen is available to guests and there is a supermarket nearby, so if you get sick of eating out, you can always pop over, get some fresh vegetables and fruits for a change.

Getting to and from the guesthouse is easy. One bus there from F.S.M.N and the same bus to. From there, you can go almost anywhere.

My mom was a bit concerned about the neighbourhood initially, but the street is brightly light and there are loads of people who get off at that bus stop.

Nightmare in Florence

Hotel staff was not polite mannerly with customers during the check-in. The room was not clean properly, both in the room and bathroom. This place is located in a corner of the road. However, the window could not prevent the noise outside the room. Internet (wifi signal) was very poor. Moreover, the double bed here was not a real one as agreed. Rather, two twin beds were attached together. It was absolutely uncomfortable.

It was absolutely a nightmare for travellers. I would not reconmend anyone to stay here compared to the price, which was very high in Florence.

Sehr laut, keine Klimaanlage und unfreundlicher Hausherr

Wir sind am Vormittag angekommen, der Vermieter jagte uns sofort aus dem Haus mit den Worten, es werde gerade geputzt und check in sei ab drei. Meine Tochter durfte nicht mal auf Toilette. Dass der Check in aber nur bis 20 Uhr geht und danach extra Gebühren erhoben werden, sagte er natürlich nicht. Das Zimmer war äußerst zweckmäßig mit Stockbett. Im Zimmer hatte es 28 Grad, Klimaanlage gibt es nicht und das Fenster kann man wegen der lauten Straße nicht öffnen. Aber 2 Uhr nachts kann man schlafen, vorausgesetzt es duscht niemand mehr. Ich hatte zwei Nächte gebucht, bin aber nur eine geblieben.

Beau mais trop bruyant

L'établissement est plutôt confortable et bien acceuillant, il dispose d'une cuisine que les hôtes peuvent utiliser ainsi que d'une agréable terasse. Les toilettes/ salle de bain sont communes, 1 salles d'eau pour deux chambres environ.
L'établissement est très propre et le personnel accueillant. Les transports sont proches. L'établissement ne dispose pas d'un parking( stationnement payant dans toute la zone) mais propose de laisser sa voiture dans un garage proche au tarif de 15€ par nuit.
Gros point négatif le quartier est assez bruyant, l'établissement étant situé à un carrefour très fréquenté de jour comme de nuit il nous a fallu choisir entre le bruit important de la rue et la fraîcheur extérieur, et la tranquillité mais la chaleur du mois de juin. L'établissement ne propose pas de petit déjeuner.
