Breakfast was really good. Room was spacious.
Checking in I found was a bit of a hassle, as it’s at a different hotel/location. There’s also no reception/hotel rep at the B&B that’s available at all times. Also wished breakfast was held at an earlier time. It’s from 8:30am, however, the other hotel did accommodate us with breakfast at that location from 7:30am.

The bed was comfortable although the pillows were flat and hard. Decent sized room with ensuite. Only one window shutter worked properly. There was an adjoining room door that was held closed by a fixed desk. You could hear the people next door showering. We were 2 females travelling alone so were a little uneasy about this. Shower was nice and worked well although rust/dirt marks around the shower fixings. Good location. Breakfast staff was lovely and reasonable continental breakfast. There was a delivery at 4:30am one morning which was very loud. Air conditioning available but was set to 22°. The accommodation was OK and Florence was stunning!

Great location for our one night stay. Super friendly staff and convenient location. The room got quite hot even with the aircon on the lowest it could go. A little bit of wear and tear in the bathroom but lovely and clean with plenty of room

This b&b is bare bones, but perfectly situated at the end of a pedestrian street leading to downtown Florence. The “hi-speed wifi” was extremely slow and cut out multiple times. To access the internet, we had to hotspot. Our room was excruciatingly hot and the air conditioner didn’t work. Set to the lowest 18 degrees, the room stayed around 29 degrees. Situated across from community garbage drop off, opening the windows to get some air resulted in super loud garbage bin noises all night long. However, it’s conveniently close to laundromats, high end shopping, late night bars and the downtown core is a 25 minute walk away, down said pedestrian street full of charming shops.

check in a nightmare, do not recommend

the check in process was SO FRUSTRATING. We arrived to the physical address of the room (B&B Santa Maria del Fiore, Via Antonio Scialoja) - then we realized we had to park and walk around the block to get to the front desk and get our key card. We then walked back to the apartment and used the key card to check in. The front desk is in the building of FORTE16 Apartments.

The bathroom door was stuck when we arrived. We called the front desk and they had someone come to fix it. The room was small- we hardly had any space on either side of the king size bed to unpack our suitcases. Bathroom was small and had a pocket door- so the fact that the door didn't close was a problem, because the toilet was only a few feet from the bed! There were no hooks to hang up towels in the bathroom. There wasn't even a soap dish to put the bar of soap in- there was very little room to even put our toothbrushes on.

The reason we booked this hotel was because it looked clean and simple and that there would be a concierge there to help us park the car and give us advice on things to do in Florence. This turned into a DIY stay which was really frustrating.

We had planned to use the hotel valet, but We managed to find street parking and pay using the app easy park. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful- but it was so frustrating that they were 1.5 blocks away from our actual room. FORTE16 Apartments looked quite nice- i wish we stayed there! No breakfast included. Do not recommend

Really not a bed-and-breakfast since breakfast is not included. Even though they advertise that it is. Poor check in directions in Orbitz. Once you do check in you have to walk around the block and try to find the building where they supposedly bed-and-breakfast exist. It is a 3 x 5 sign not clearly marked. No elevator so you’re carrying your luggage upstairs. Once in the room, the room was wonderful. The area around once you got used to it was very nice.

Disappoint experience

We booked this hotel based on the ratings but it was rather disappointing. The room we got was not the one we paid for. There's no one there to check you in. You have to call, but since our Canadian phone was not working and the taxi driver wouldn't call, we had to ask someone on the street.
Breakfast was poor of options and the room too tight. I wanted to complain but there's no one there until the next day.
We stayed at other B&Bs in Florence, even cheaper, and they were far better (like Florence Old Bridge B&B). Maybe that's why we are so disappointed.

nice place, could be better

hotel was pretty good, nice staff, room was nice in size and clean. did have to carry luggage upstairs to get to the room however plus the area of the hotel didnt have many good places to see without a bus trip, room could be a little noisy in the morning when breakfast was on or people are at reception talking. also the breakfast buffet didnt have alot of options for those who arent very excited by a european breakfast. also there was an issue with bugs in the room, wasnt sure how they were getting in there but they would not stop coming.

Great location and easy walking to main sites.

The proprieters were both extremely helpful and gave us good advice e.g. places to eat. We were also advised to buy a ticket which gave access to a good number of sites, including some that were timed. The room was wonderfully cool as it had excellent air conditioning. We loved having our breakfast outside which was a real treat.

Very clean hotel

We are very happy with the cleanliness, size and space of this hotel. Only issue was the room was a bit cold even with heater on as we went mid January, and walls are thin so we heard the conversations that were happening in the breakfast room, our room was also next to breakfast room and front desk.

Clean and beautiful rooms

From the day we arrived, we were in love with the property! Rooms are beautifully decorated with contemporary design and above all very clean. Mossimo, the owner was extremely helpful in guiding us where to go for sightseeing and how to get there. Free breakfast was delicious. The Duomo was walking distance. However this place is located away from the hustle and bustle of tourist crowds, more in a high end local neighborhood. There were places to eat right nearby and also a small convenience store to pick up those late night snacks. Very safe neighborhood.
Note however that since it's a B&B, the front desk does not have anyone after certain time but that was never a problem for us. If we had questions, we would just call Mossimo and ask or catch them in morning before we left sightseeing for the day. Great rooms! Glad we stayed here.

Quaint B&B in great location with canal views

Communication with B&B Santa Maria del Fiore was excellent from the beginning. Other reviews mentioned how difficult it was to find the B&B so we e-mailed in advance and the instructions provided allowed us to find it with ease. The B&B is located very close to a Vaporetto stop, allowing us easy access from the train station and to the airport. Our room had a view of the quaint canals and in the day time one can easily hear the gondoliers singing. The breakfast is a standard continental breakfast (croissants, cereal, yogurt, ham cheese) but it does the job. The accommodations are basic but the bathroom is updated (a plus) and the room is large. Would stay again largely for the value and great location. Not too far from restaurants, shopping or San Marco square - all within walking distance.

Nice hotel in quiet area.

The room was lovely. Clean, tastefully decorated. Comfortable beds, very nice bathroom. Pietro and Massimo were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was good and served in a lovely breakfast room with a pretty terrace with flowers. They gave our daughter gluten free crackers daily, since she couldn't eat the croissants, etc. made with wheat.

Cute little B&B within minutes of city center

This lovely B&B was a pleasure to stay at! It is located within walking distance to practically every main spot in Florence and yet away from the typical crowded touristy streets. The staff was prompt to check with us in advance for arrival time and gave us a call for directions the moment our train arrived in Florence. Room and bathroom were very well maintained and clean. Breakfast was nice too. We were offered a map with all major attractions and recommended areas for good local food. I would say our experience matched some of the starred hotels we have stayed in before. Definitely recommend!

Lovely boutique B&B

My friend and I recently stayed in this B&B for a 2 day stay in Florence. It's conveniently located close to the centre, with all the sights within walking distance. The room was very nicely decorated, and clean, making it a nice environment to relax in after a long day enjoying the beautiful city of Florence. The staff were friendly and helpful, and breakfast was perfectly adequate.

Excellent hotel!

I had an excellent experience at this hotel. The two owners were both very accommodating and helpful. They made my experience for my week in Italy excellent. I was a solo traveler and I recommend this hotel for women travelers. Walking distance from the Duomo area which was a plus for me. Also very stylish and contemporary rooms compared to most rooms in Florence. Definitely plan to stay here again when I visit Florence again.

Me surpreendi com a hospedagem. Apesar de uma dificuldade inicial para encontrar o hotel, uma vez que fica em um anexo sem muitas sinalizações, o quarto e o cafe da manha são muito bons. A localização do hotel também é um ponto positivo, pois fica proximo da entrada para o centro historico de Florença. Talvez encontrem uma dificuldade para estacionar, mas eles possuem estacionamento pago a disposição.

Ningún fallo a buen precio

Todo lo básico de un buen hotel a un precio de B&B: Habitación amplia. Cama cómoda y grande. Buen baño (renovado) con buena presión del agua. Entorno tranquilo y buenas ventanas. Dispone ademas de un hervidor y una neverita pequeña.
Es un primer piso al que hay que subir andando, eso sí, con unas 5 habitaciones en un edificio de 3-4 pisos. No tuvimos ningún problema de ruidos con vecinos o con otros inquilinos.
A 10 minutos andando (cómodamente) de Sta. María de Croce y unos 20 de la galeria Uffizi.
A 5 min hay sitios para desayunar o comer y supermercado. Recomendamos el Caffe Lorenzo
(Muy rico el capuccino y los dulces).
El checkin lo haces en un apartahotel que está muy cerca (menos de 5 min) donde fueron muy amables, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta la amabilidad en general en Florencia, que es un poco escasa. Pudimos dejar alli la maleta tras el checkout, ya que teniamos el vuelo tarde.

Me gustó la ubicación y la limpieza, así como la atención en el hotel en que le entregan las llaves, siempre fueron muy atentos, y con un problema de electicidad que tuvimos, llegaron de inmediato a solucionárnoslo.
No me gustó, que el aire acondicionado no servía y la regadera del baño tenía fuga que yo tuve que tratar de solucionar con una bolsa, porque se inundaba el baño, y que al hacer la limpieza no dejaban suficiente jabón ni papel higiénico y solo un día nos dejaron aguas puras, nunca más; además, creo que por lo menos deberían entregar algún snack
