The room we got was decent, but did not match the picture shown. Hotel is nice once you are in the room. The ground floor entrance can be better. This is close to train station and walkable to famous Florence attractions.

Taking away one star for the elevator/lift. Now I understand most hotels in Europe don’t even have that option, but when you retrofit, it could have been done in a better way — it is the smallest, slowest a hottest elevator I have ever seen.

Ciao!!! The elevator doesn't work adequately, so keep that in mind if you're traveling w heavy luggage, people w physical disabilities or little kids. The decoration is minimal and outdated w equipment needing maintenance. Beeding is simple. Bathroom was clean. They don't have front desk after 7PM. In conclusion, the property doesn't feel like a 3 stars hotel. I only recommended it for one night stay by single travelers or couples that have every detail planned and appreciate good location over anuthing else.

The Perfect Italian Inn

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bellevue House. We wanted an authentic Italian experience and it was that with great linens, a comfortable bed and a wonderful shower. Everything was spotless and very clean. Our room was spacious, Sophia. The Innkeeper was so kind and helpful. He gave us the names of several family owned/ run restaurants that had delicious food. There is a small, newer elevator that was able to carry my husband and I up to the 4th level (3rd floor) which was a godsend after days spent site seeing. They had daily maid service that kept everything spotless. If we find ourselves in Florence again we will be staying at Bellevue House.

I booked three rooms at the Bellevue House in December for my adult kids, myself & husband and sister. Communicating with Luciano was so easy! He took such good care of us. Not only by reaching out, but by sending us detailed pictures and info on the building. Bellevue House is an easy walk to the train station. There is a lift, but just to warn you, it’s the slowest lift ever. No joke. There is even a note in the lift stating that due to the history of the building, they had to go by certain protocols. But hey, at least there IS a lift. It is small tho. The 3 rooms were great, clean and comfortable. Good size bathrooms were very nice and clean with nice shampoos and soaps. (No conditioner, but that seems to be an Italian thing along with no wash cloth/face size towels).

Luciano gave us some great recommendations for restaurants (loved Osteria la Scala) and told us about the Farmacia di Santa Maria Novella, the oldest pharmacy in Florence, which happened to be across the street. A must visit!! He kindly kept our luggage when we had an early tour.

We would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks Luciano!

Unparalleled guest service

We only stayed one night (our last night) at Bellevue House. All 3 of us wish we had scheduled more nights here. It was the perfect end to a great vacation. I cannot say enough about how fabulous the owners of this hotel are. Here’s one example but there are several. We had an early flight and had to get a 3:30am taxi to airport. Alex knocked on our door at 3:15 to make sure we were up and he helped us get all of our bags to the curb and waited with us to make sure taxi arrived. Who does that?!! We were blown away by the warmth and personalized attention we received here. I truly hope to return one day for a longer stay.

Excellent overall stay.

We stayed here for 2 nights. and we are so glad we did. The hotel is on the top floor of the building which also houses other hotels. Easily found from Florence train station. As its the top floor of course it has a few flights of stairs but there is a lift which although it is slow(due to age of building) it works great. The welcoming wss very nice and Alex explained loads to us as you need codes to get into the premises and for the lift. Incidentally Alex came down the stairs to greet us and took our bags up. The rooms were spacious and very clean and lots of towels and toiletries. The bed was very comfortable and there is air conditioning which worked ok. Shower was also very good and hot. I think the family live there also so always on hand and not intrusive. There is no breakfast option.Overall we would stay here again if we ever went back to Florence.

However, they keep it clean and the charm is off the charts! The room was huge and worth every cent!

The three days there we did not get room service or fresh linens and towels. But we were busy most of the time anyway. When leaving we were charged a “room tax” of 2 euros per person per night. Cash only. I would have tipped him that just because he was a very nice person.

Minutes from Great Sites!

We picked Bellevue House based on prior reviews and so we could not only walk to all the must see sites but also be close to the starting point of our tours. We were not disappointed. Do read the email sent prior to check-in with entry and elevator codes! The owner was wonderful with lots of helpful advice. Loved having the kettle, mini fridge and daily water. The lift is slow but gets the job done. It might have been operator malfunction but it would have been nice to have a cooler room.

The host and his family are very friendly and did everything they can to make our stay pleasant. The location is great -- just minutes walk to all major attractions, yet quiet and still affordable. Plenty of restaurants around to choose from and the hosts recommended all the good ones and even helped to make the reservations for us when we couldn't. Our room (No. 1) is spacious. The hotel is on the 4th floor (3rd using European convention) of an old building without an elevator. Although the hosts can help with the luggage, people with difficulty in climbing may want to avoid. The interior needs some renovation, especially to the floor. Adding some furniture will make the spacious room more usable. All in all, we had a comfortable stay and enjoyed our time on Florence. We thank hosts for their hospitality.

On another note for those that haven’t rode the buses be aware of the bus validation police. We are from a small town and hadn’t rode the buses. We didn’t validate our pass and it cost us 50€ each.

I had a lovely four day stay at the Bellevue House. It is in an old convent located on the top floor of the building. My large room faced a courtyard so it was generally quiet. While there is no breakfast service, my room had a hot water pot along with teas and instant coffee. Two things made my stay very pleasant: the location and Luciano and his family. The Bellevue House is in close proximity to the Santa Maria Novelle train station and the Cuomo, yet not in the frenzy of the main tourist areas. Luciano, his wife and son provide great information and a welcom8ng experience. I would certainly recommend and stay there again.

Bellevue House is Fantastic!

The Bellevue House is less than 300 meters from the train station. It is a hotel that is more like a Bed and Breakfast. We were in the Carolina room. It had two side-by-side twin beds, a futon in another part of the room, and a huge wonderful bathroom. The only drawback is the four flights (91) stairs that you have to walk up due to no elevator. However, they do come down to carry up your bags which is very helpful! Attentive service by proprietor and staff. Excellent suggestions on where to dine or shop. They call for taxis if needed. A great place to stay and get the flavor of Florence.

A little shabby, but great place to stay

Bellevue House offers a pleasant, no frills stay in an ideal Florentine location. Conveniently located near the train station, but also short walking distance to the main Florentine attractions. Very much a hidden gem. The hotel itself is quite modest. Furniture and decor is old, but rooms are spacious. Hotel proprietor was the kindest, most helpful person. Gave great food recommendations, and let us check in early and leave our bags while we explored the city. For the price and location, this is a great option if you're okay with an \"old hotel\" experience.

A good hike up the stairs but the owner and his son were very quick to assist us with the bags.
Located very near the train station (walking distance even with bags) on a street with little shops and restaurants.
Recommendations from the owner were great for restaurants and sightseeing.
Clean and had everything we needed including air conditioning and wifi.
