Barbara made our one day accommodation so easy. She was very helpful. The place is very clean and close to all the good tourist spot and restaurants. The only this is... the air-condition drips water the whole night but we used a combination of towel and trash can to capture the dripping so it was all good. Overall, it was all good.

Located in the very trendy and hip neighborhood of Santo Spirito in Oltrarno, Firenze. Very close to amazing restaurants, bars & wine windows. One block from the Arno River in between Ponte Alla Carraia and Ponte Santa Trinita. Witness one of the most beautiful and vibrant sunsets you’ll ever see from either bridge. Barbara, the caretaker is amazing and always available with any information you may need. Very close walk to everything you need to see. Quaint building with everything you need! I highly recommend for couples and families alike!

The location is convenient for visiting many attractions in Florence. However, access to the room is not very easy. It is on the second floor, and you need to climb a few steps before reaching the elevator. If you are traveling with heavy luggage or large suitcases, this may be inconvenient.

On our first night, we noticed that the shower drained very slowly. We reported the issue, and it was fixed the next day, which we appreciated.

The hair dryer worked for only a few minutes at a time and then stopped, requiring a waiting period before it could be used again.

One thing to note is that the host may ask you to pay the city tax through a payment link rather than charging it directly to your credit card, so don’t be surprised if this happens.

Location was good.
Felt safe in the area.
Host was quick with responding.
Complementary water and snacks were provided upon arrival
A/C can not be left on when leaving the room. So getting back from a hot day of walking around it takes a little bit to cool off. Overall good option for Florence

Overall great experience and location, walkable to most main attractions! Some challenges with understanding which mode of communication to use with host, particularly during check in time (Expedia site had a platform, the host had another platform advertised (?octa-something), though WhatsApp also used in the days prior to the trip). Once this was sorted out (WhatsApp!), Barbara was great with communication!

As mentioned in a number of reviews the location is great but there are a number of other things that we found disappointing with our stay.

The booking site references daily housekeeping but our room wasn’t serviced at all in the four days we stayed and we had to empty the bins ourselves as they were overflowing.

There was a kettle in the room but nothing else provided to go with the kettle except two mismatched mugs – no tea, no milk, no sugar, not even a spoon.

The plug socket on the wall nearest the window was loose and in danger of falling off when you tried to use it.

The safe in the room didn’t work and although it is mentioned that there is one by the front desk, as this is unmanned I don’t know how that would work.

The bed was too big (I know that sounds weird) but it made the room really small and you had to crab walk around by the window as there was no space around the bed - a slightly smaller bed would have fitted much better.

There is Wi-Fi as advertised and the hotel is in a fantastic location to explore Florence but the rest of the experience was unfortunately less than impressive.

The Santo Spirito Venti is in a great location if you want to be close to the Piazza Santa Maria Novella area but want to avoid the noise and crowdedness. It is near a lot of good restaurants. The room was clean and there were enough room for my three kids and me. No complaints but some things of note. Like many old buildings it is hard to regulate the temperature. It was still mild outside (in the 50s F). My kids and I found it really hot in the room. I keep my home at 67 F even when it is 20-30 degrees outside. There is an elevator but it is really small and can hold maybe 2 petite people and one small carry on.

Just a note for those who are use to hotels or B&Bs in the States, to bring some shampoo and conditioner (there is body wash provided), and the toilet paper is much smaller so you may want to make sure there is enough spare rolls ( I think it's because the bidet is used in lieu of toilet paper).

Exactly what we were looking for!

The apartment is quiet, but still close to the attractions that we were visiting. We are a family of four (children 11 & 17) and we were within walking distance to Santa Maria Del Fiore, Boboli Gardens, Palazza Vecchio, Piazzale Michelangelo (for sunset), Lots of Shops, Bars & Restaurants and the train-station (15 mins with little feet in 37 degree heat!). We had everything we needed for a 3 night stay and Leonardo was helpful and always at the end of the phone if we needed anything. The apartment was clean and had a kettle, small fridge, AC, hairdryer, complimentary bodywash and a safe. The only thing I will say is that there is a small lift that is accessed up one flight of stairs, so if you have a buggy or wheelchair you might struggle. We just used the stairs to the top floor to work off the Affogato's and Gelatos!

We had a wonderful family trip (with 2 teenagers) to Florence and enjoyed staying at Santo Spirito Venti. Our room was spacious, clean and we gad attentive service. This neighborhood is across the Arno River from the Florence City Center, but short walk to the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and Uffizi Museum. Thiis oltrarno neighborhood was less crowded and quieter than the historic center. Our host Leonardo was very helpful with recommendations for restaurants, gelato and arranged our early morning taxi ride to the airport.

Great, lively area of popular bars and restaurants very walkable to major Florence sights on both sides of the river. Room is small but efficient and comfortable. I do miss that it is not a full-service hotel. The host, Leonardo is very nice and had some great restaurant recommendations, but he is not normally present. In order to check in, first you must arrange by phone/text to meet you on the street to let you in and finish the process. I recommend it for travelers used to travel light and who don’t require traditional hotel services, but not for everyone.

While a nice room, the hotel owners were only there for a very short time each day, the place runs itself- sort of. Instead you had to use a code to the front door, another for that elevator and another for the Hotel front door which was up many flights of stairs. A little bit of a hassle. But the bigger hassle was no help getting a taxi back to the train station, which is no easy feet, no ability to store luggage unless you want it out in the open, that sort of thing. Small thing but with parents and kids, can be big. Breakfast was decent, but at a cafe a few blocks away. Hotelier not very concerned .

Quite place in a great location!

Very nice room! Very quiet and safe. However, maybe due to translation issues in the listing you should be aware that it is not really a bed and breakfast. What they meant was that there is a place for breakfast nearby that you have to book to go to through them and go to. The posting also said \"laundry facilities\" but now it looks like that was removed since I was there. There is a place to do laundry about 8 minutes away though that was easy to use. Very nice staff though and very clean and quiet! Parking is rough though and the nearest garage seemed always full. I really recommend NOT driving into that area if you can avoid it. It's very stressful and tight.

-They did not want to change my dates, although I made a request several days in advance
- They took money from my account before I arrived, although I had selected to pay at the property.
- We arrived at about 6pm but we had to make our own way in. No one was there to meet us or show us how to find the place. The same happened at check out. No one there.
- We received very poor instructions of how to get into the property. It was just a series of photos and videos with no written explanation. You had to guess, and it is not nice if you arrive tired, trying to find your way around. A brief explanation would have been enough. eg. Address, floor, etc.
- There were no lights at the entrance. We found ourselves in pitch dark when we entered the property. And once you find the switch they go out after a few seconds.
- Elevator only worked for one person at a time. Two persons at the same time do not work.
- Shower had no place to put your shampoo
- [ ] Towel hangers did not work
- [ ] The following day they made up our beds but left a wet towel in the beds.
- [ ] Curtains did not block the lights, so we couldn’t sleep well.
- [ ] There is a coffee machine, but you have to pay,and coffee comes with sugar by default.
- [ ] Breakfast is continental. It is just a very small coffee and a croissant. So disappointing.

Las camas son cómodas y limpias. La ubicación es buena. La habitación estaba relativamente limpia, lo único malo es que olía bastante a cigarro, creo que fue error mío no darme cuenta que era para fumadores, estaba penetrado el olor, el aire acondicionado realmente nunca funcionó, afortunadamente no hizo falta. Y no tuvimos agua caliente, esa si hizo falta. Creo que le falta ventilación, y sentirse más fresca.
