We had a lovely time at this B&B in Florence. We were a family of three (parents and teen) and enjoyed our stay in a triple room at this well-located property. The property owners were very kind, shared lots of local tips and suggestions on food, excursions etc. and accommodated all of our needs. The breakfast was abundant and delicious.

This property is quite dated and lacking amenities of newer properties charging similar fees. We asked for a ground level room next to the “garden”, which is what we got, but the garden was not well maintained or usable.
The bed in our room was very old and not comfortable.
The staff were knowledgeable, very nice and offered good advice on dining optiins.

Barbara was fantastic. She was very helpful in obtaining our train reservations for Salerno. We enjoy the outdoors and each morning the breakfast server made sure we had a tablecloth for our table. I had left some shirts in the armoire and they saw them and added them to our luggage before we left.
Thank you for making our stay so easy and memorable.

Barbara is the consummate host. She's been running this place for years and it shows; it's like you are visiting a friend when you stay here. She can help you with all the answers to any kind of question you might have.

We stayed in the Family unit. This is a larger unit than most in Barbara's complex and very comfortable. You're a stone's throw from all the sites here but also well situated for grabbing a morning coffee and croissant with the locals; at a very reasonable cost. The complex has a very nice small garden area in the middle which is comfortable for sitting and enjoying a read or glass of wine.

The breakfast is out of this world. Barbara's baking skills are top-notch. In addition to more than enough pastry, there are plenty of other high-quality elements to the breakfast.

Some notes; our particular unit did have windows but they opened onto the street so no view. Many of the other units that Barbara has open onto the garden in the middle of the building.

We'd definitely stay with Barbara again.

This porperty was excellent. The lady on the desk was very friendly and was very helpful giving us directions to on what to see and things to do in flourence and throughout the region. She is multilingual and her english was good. The breakfast was very good and lady also baked a lovley chocolate cake for my daugher to try, as she had asked if there was anything she would like for breakfast. The room was spacious and there was a conecting room for my daughter to sleep in which she really liked. The room had AC which stayed at temperature which was great after a day in the sun. The parking is 3min walk away and 5min drive away. I would happily stay here agian and will recommend to anyone coming to flourence.

Excellent hotel, exactly what we were looking for. The location was perfect for exploring all of Florence attractions and being able to come back to the hotel easily on foot.
Barbara running the place was fantastic from the moment we arrived, taking a real interest to get to know you and make sure she offered advise and hep with everything, even though we were only staying for 1 night. Parking is arranged at one of the nearby underground parking lots with the hotel having preferential rate and priority at the car park which is only a couple of streets away from the hotel. The room was very clean. Not massive but we did not expect it to be a massive room for this location and price but it was perfect for what we needed while looking around Florence. Even has a view of the Duomo from our bedroom window. Barbara really made the stay extra special and made us feel very welcome and we would certainly stay at this hotel again when we return to Florence

Not impressed at all. The ONLY nice thing about this place is the garden / outdoor seating area. The Owner, Neri, is not friendly ...did not even acknowledge our existence when we arrived .I had to be the one to speak first. The room was DIRTY.... FILTHY.... I travel quite frequently and this was definitely one of my worst stays. With all of the competition in Florence, Italy (including Airbnb), I would NEVER recommend this place.

Residenza Il Villino is a true match for Florence

The history filled walls, ideal location, the calm environment,
the staff's dedication to the customers' needs and the
attention to detail, particularly to make the amazing breakfast at
the courtyard fit for royalty.
I had personalised tips on which areas of the city would
provide the real feel/ non-touristic experience, this made a huge difference to me, as the city can be quite overwhelming with so many
people either asking for money or forcing sales on you.
I am pleased with my stay and completely recommended it if you are looking for somewhere calm and mature. Thank you!

Comfortable B&B with friendly staff

We recently stayed here for 4 nights and had a great time. The B&B gives a feel of staying in a local setting with a courtyard. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast in the courtyard is very nice.
The breakfast is simple but comprehensive and includes toast bread, fruits, cereal, scrambled eggs and juices.
The reception is only during the day time but getting in and out of the building at nights is fairly easy. One thing to remember is that this is a few minutes away from the busy streets, in case thats a requirement for some.

One day we left the room after the cleaning staff had gone back but the person at the front desk was kind enough to go over and beyond and change the sheets etc himself. Thank you for that.

Overall we had a comfortable stay and recommend it.

This B&B is a gem.

From check in to check out, our stay was great!! Caesar checked us in, walked us up the five flights of stairs to our room, and then made another trip up to our room with an ice pack for a twisted ankle. Breakfast in the charming courtyard was very nice. The room was small, but had a great view from the window and was plenty big enough for two people. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quite place that is not too far from any of the sites to see in Florence.

Having booked this b&b after viewing many other places to stay, I think we hit on a good place. Giovanni was a fantastic host and really was very genuine in his friendliness, happy to help with anything.

The room we had was great, very spacious with our own terrace, table and chairs included, nice little sun trap.

The only thing that let the room down was that the shower look a bit old, and didn’t really point where you wanted it to, a case of moving yourself under the water, instead of pointing the water at you.

Plenty of storage for your clothes, with light switches in convenient locations and plugs for the tea and coffee making, charging phones and the like. Also in one of the draws was a multi adaptor if you have too many things to charge.

The breakfast is a continental type, and has a good selection of things to cater for everyone, never started the day hungry .

The location is just perfect, just down the road from the Duomo, far enough for there to be no noise, but close enough for a short walk to the old part of Florence.

All in all, a great place for the price.

This hotel is great. The rooms are comfortable, elegant but unfussy. They feel very Italian. They are well equipped with a realistically priced minibar, toiletries and hair dryer. The only omission for me is a kettle.

Very nice, clean and professional

I stayed only one night at Residenza Il Villino B&B while my apartment nearby was under construction. The staff is very nice and attentive, the room was extremely clean and spacious. Breakfast is also nicely done, though I wished there was an offering of Italian espresso or cappuccino. The only drawback was that the bed was not very comfortable to me. Others may not feel that way but I had a hard time sleeping because of it. Everything else about this B&B is very nice, though, so I would recommend it.

Very sweet B&B close to the Duomo

We had a lovely stay at Residenza il Villino in early March 2018. First, the owners are very caring and attentive. The inn is high on charm—lovely stone floors, iron work, plaster walls, and stained glass windows, with a stunning court yard in the center next to the breakfast room. Breakfast was a well appointed continental style (great pastries, cheese, etc), with either American coffee or made to order espresso or cappuccino. The room we had was a good size with a king bed and clean bathroom. We had a view of the Duomo from outside of our stained glass windows. This was topped by a beautiful exposed beam ceiling. What can I say? It was ideal. One note, the bed and pillows were perfectly nice, but a little on the firm side. Bring your own pillow if you need a softer place to land after your day of sightseeing. Highly recommend this beautiful, well placed and impeccably run B&B.

The hotel was beautiful, although a little on the small and cramped side. the bathroom was tiny but efficient and the bedroom was just big enough for the bed and dresser with enough room for one person to walk around. but the view of the Duomo in Florence was breathtaking at night. breakfast was definitely one of the highlight at the hotel. Lots of options and friendly staff to help with whatever you were looking for. A short walk will get you to several main attractions in Florence, and the best pizza I had during my stay in Italy was in Florence, so look around for a great place!

Historic Building

This small hotel (B&B) is a short walk from the major tourist sites, yet in a more quiet area. We saw several small groceries and a laundry nearby. Our room on the second floor was large with a lovely open patio. The breakfast was like most European breakfasts (meat,cheese,breads,and pastries) with the addition of scrambled eggs. The owner was extremely helpful and assisted us with reserving tickets to the Uffizi Museum and even our train reservations. The only noise was from the guests walking around in the room above which is to be expected with older, historic buildings. We had a wonderful stay here.
