Samantha
Clean, modern and quirky accommodation in the centre of everything. The host quickly responded to any queries we had.
Daniele
Benci House is a beautifully decorated guesthouse in an excellent location, just a few steps from all the main attractions. There is a shared space at the entrance with a lounge area and a coffee machine always available. It doesn’t have a traditional hotel reception; communication with the hosts is done via WhatsApp. For anything you need, you can also reach out to the staff at the café downstairs, where breakfast is served.
A tip: if you have paid for breakfast, it is served from 9:00 a.m. as an international breakfast with table service. From 8:00 a.m., a simpler Italian breakfast with cappuccino and croissant is available. Keep this in mind when deciding whether to include breakfast with your stay.

Very modern rooms and great staff!
Norma
Amazing stay
Beautiful room, looks newly renovated. Great style. I loved the full size shower. Great location close to main museums and amazing restaurants. Will def book again.
Clarissa
We loved our stay at Benci! It’s in a prime location and surprisingly quiet, given it’s above a bar. Super clean, cute, and comfortable. If you have a larger checked bag be aware there are steps up to the guest house, but it wasn’t an issue for us. The bar downstairs (Moyo Bar) is also very hospitable and a great spot for an espresso or drink. We had a car and the parking garage Benci recommended was close and easy to find. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!
Andrea
There is a lot to love about this guesthouse and any critiques are more FYIs than true cons.
As a guest house it isn’t like a traditional hotel but we loved it.
Pros
- staff was amazing. They used what’s app to communicate with no language barrier and were friendly and helpful.
- free breakfast and serve yourself coffee
- room was beautiful, the bed was so comfy and as we had an interior room, we didn’t hear any street noise at all.
- loved the location near a trendier area away from the main tourist area. But still walkable from Tram 2 (but a bit of a hike!)
Cons
- second floor so not accessible
- room was very small. We stayed two nights and had backpacks but if you are a heavy packer this may not be for you.
- bathroom felt a bit dark. If you like brighter lighting to do your make up it may not be for you.

Karen
What a wonderful stay at this lovely boutique hotel. I loved the quirkiness of the room and coffee on the small roof terrace was very relaxing after long days of sightseeing. Sophia was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend
Cooper
Spent three nights visiting Florence. A lot of attractions and restaurants are within walking distance. Shopping, David,, etc. Enjoyed our day.

Tiny gem close to everything
Gorgeous tiny gem of a hotel - great design, lovely service, delicious breakfast - would absolutely stay again and look forward to returning!
Izabella
Wonderful stay in Florence
Lovely place to stay with great service. We arrived by car, and Sofia prearranged our garage entrance and also called an hour ahead so the car was ready for us. Sofia also helped us make a reservation to a restaurant that was fully booked. The room was beautiful and comfortable and clean. Breakfast at a cafe downstairs was also really good with eggs/bacon options. The location was great, we did not hear the club downstairs, as mentioned by other reviews.
Katherine
The property was absolutely lovely! The rooms are appointed with modern, high end finishes and felt very fancy. The staff was amazing and helpful, and the included breakfast was wonderful. It's super convenient to all the attractions and easy to get in and out. That being said, it is neighbors with a nightclub and the music can be heard in the rooms until late at night. We were able to sleep through it, but some might struggle. Also, the room was fairly small, although lovely. And the bathroom was high end, but very, very dark. Shower was great, but almost impossible to put on makeup!
Peter
Lovely trip to Florence
Lovely hotel with a good location - it’s a bit difficult to find!
Esteban
Great suites/ needs work on te wifi
Great suites modern,amazing comfortable bed. The only downside was the wifi was very poor.
David
Beautiful boutique in in great location.
Benci House is a small boutique inn with only four rooms. Rooms are very modern with high end furnishings. Maria, the inn manager is very service oriented. The inn has a balcony where you can have cocktails at night (BYOB). The location is also ideal near Santa Croce.
Constantinos
Disappointed by the service
Booked for 2 nights. Stayed for 1. They moved us the second day to another hotel. They told us that is even better, but was a fraud. I imagine they overbooked (in Italy they do this often). When moved to the other hotel, i called them to ask for another hotel. The answer I got was disappointing: \"sorry there is nothing we can do...\"
They didi not give us the room I had booked, but passed us from 2 other rooms first. I had to fight to get the room I had booked.
After they moved us to the other hotel, and their indifference, i got ungry, and all they had to say was that I could not behave! (That was their trick to avoid their responsibilities)

Great spot near everything!
Great location and it looks just like the photos! Our room smelled like smoke so that was the only downfall. Staff super friendly and it was very quiet (yay!). Only 4 rooms which was really nice! Would stay again.
Apollon
Stayed at Benci for 2 nights.Room was very cozy,clean,nicely decorated with a very comfortable bed.It is well located in the city center close to everything, from shopping areas,restaurants to main squares and attractions.Parking is difficult to find in the area and you will have to pay a range of 20 to 35 euros per day.Sofia the owner has a contract with a local guy who comes and pick your car up upon request and brings it back when asked.That was very convenient for us although a bit expensive(35 euros/day).Breakfast which was served in the cafeteria downstairs was quite decent.We would definitely stay there again!
Elisha
Beautiful hotel in a great location
Benci House is a beautiful boutique hotel in a perfect location. The rooms are beautifully appointed and the details of the woodwork are incredible. The bed is very comfortable. Perfect amenities. We really enjoyed our stay there and will definitely be back. Thanks for a great trip!
Lisa
Our stay was perfect! The only minor thing
Pascal
A lot of noise at night from a nearby nightclub
