The hotel is small but very nice. It is clean and quiet. The rooms are not new but are well maintained. The operating lady is very nice and helpful. Breakfast is simple: bread, croissants, jam and honey, yogurt, cookies, coffee, tea, orange juice and more. There are no eggs and no vegetables, but it was diverted enough for us. The hotel is well located- around 10 minutes of walking from the center train station, and less then 10 minutes to galleria dell’accademia. (Note that in these hot days we preferred taking the tram when arriving from the train station , which reduced the walking time with our suitcases). We enjoyed our stay very much!

Lovely apartment in a quiet and convenient location. It was about a 15 minute walk from the Duomo and Uffizi, less to the Galleria dell Academia. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Parking garage was just a couple of blocks from the building. All in all, we had a lovely time and Moraq was lovely to deal with. Heads up—if you’re staying in the queen apartment, it’s on the top floor and there is no elevator.

Nice big bed and pillows, nice big sofabed and pillows, essential kitchen and nice bathroom. Close to Bus and Train station (5-7 min walk)

Decent, It could improve some things

The apartment is close to the train station, but it's on the third floor and there is no elevator. The place was clean, the staff eliminate the garbage daily. The place has a kitchen, but it doesn´t have basic tools for any kitchen. There was no keetle or teapot where to boil water, the host knew about this and she did nothing to solve the issue, also there is no cutlery for all of us even when the reservation was for 4 people. The shower curtain had mold.

Gem of a spot

Fantastic location for a trip to Florence. We stayed in a 2 bed apartment, which was spacious for our family of 4. It is on the top floor, which didn't affect us in terms of access, but there are many steps! A/C only in hall, which didn't really extend to bedrooms - in the intense summer heat this did impact comfort. Fans are provided and were well used! The owner was incredibly helpful, recommending places to visit and eat, also allowing us to store luggage before check in and after check out.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Casa di Barbano. Every member of staff was so friendly and helpful. The room was very comfortable and spacious. There was lots of choice for breakfast and I really loved the vintage furniture that was in the room and the rest of the hotel. It is also only a 10 minute walk to the train station so it is in a great location. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in Florence!

Very nice, easy going and accommodating host, on site all the time, ready to help if you need it. Nice simple Italian breakfast served in the morning. If it's busy you might need to wait your turn.
About 15 min walk to the main basilica and the tower. About 10 min walk to the train station.
It's an old palace and so the facilities are in tune with the old style Florence, so do not expect modern hotel-like interiors. You can borrow books and games as well.
We liked it very much and would recommend it, no doubt.

Excellent place to stay in Florence.

This was a lovely bed and breakfast and a great place to stay. Room was clean, spacious and serviced every day. Breakfast in the morning was basic, but more than enough. The owner is extremely helpful with ideas of places to visit, buses and hints and tips for the city. The accommodation was 10 mins walk from the station and about 15 mins walk from the historical centre. The only slight downside was being next to the breakfast area my room could be a bit noisy first thing in the morning, but that's mostly on me for not getting up earl enough! I will definitely stay here again when I return to Florence.

Nice location, very nice spacious apartment just a little hot - we were right at the top. Good workout carrying all the suitcases up ;) But would have been improved by some decent air con - because I suppose the heat rises, it was VERY hot all night and fans insufficient to deal with the Florentine summer. For the money, that aside, very good value though.

What's not to love about a little Florentine villa with a courtyard just minutes from Santa Maria Novella Station, and great Wi-Fi. A kind and genuine hostess who can guide you with her local knowledge and intelligent discussion about art and architecture that must be seen if you haven't yet got your bearings. If at all possible, I would definitely stay here again when visiting Firenze.

Really lovely lady checked us in. The property itself was great-although it was a hot climb to the top of the building!
Bit disappointed that the Expedia site claimed a free breakfast but we weren’t offered anything?

Bait and Switch?

I called this B&B a day before arrival and was told all was ready; we had two rooms for two nights. On arrival we were advised that they had \"overbooked, but hey! It's all good, because I have you another place very near by, where my father stays when he comes to visit me!\" This was a hotel rather than a B&B, and it was totally unacceptable if for no other reason than the room temperature. While our room was marginally acceptable, the other was an oven, and we ended up with that couple on the floor in our room with us. When we called the desk they did nothing but say they would deal with it the next day. About that time I started to wonder what the hotel cost, as opposed to the B&B and found out it was substantially cheaper. Then I wondered why anybody with a B&B would send their father elsewhere to stay. Also, the location of the hotel was further from the places we wanted to visit, and at the edge of a residential area, so there were no really convenient restaurants or taverns. To go anywhere you had to cross a major street with traffic & trains to dodge. After one night I could not deal with the hotel another so I booked a new hotel and spent even more money to be able to sleep the second night. I ended up paying for 4 room-nights to get two in a lesser place. I honestly feel that the original B&B owes me money and I would like to hear from anybody else who had a similar experience. It felt like a pure bait-and-switch and it offended and angered me.

Good Value in Florence!

Really nice B&B located just a 5-10 minute walk from Train Station. Room was very nicely decorated and clean. Really nice dining area, which opened into a courtyard where you could eat as well (as long as it's not mosquito season). Hostess was very informative and accommodating, but a bit condescending. Breakfast consisted of a warm croissant, sometimes a yogurt, pre-packaged bread/biscuits, coffee and juice. Not exactly what I had expected from a place calling itself a Bed & Breakfast, but the atmosphere was nice. Wi-fi did not work in my room, so I had to sit in the hallway or breakfast area to get service. Make sure you are not allergic to cats or have problems with pet hair as my clothing was full of cat hair from sitting in the hallway seats. It was very close to the historic areas of Florence and made for a nice home base from which to view the city. Lots of common areas in the B&B as well.

Friendly hostess and clean room

The hostess is friendly and professional, good at English and willing to help newcomers. One of the restaurants she recommended gave us good impression. The room is as clean as in a five-star hotel. The heating system works very well. The place is located on the ground floor. It has a heavy wooden door, which gives you a sense of history everytime you go through it. Above all, it is near the train station with only 10-minute leisurely walk. Florence is a small place, so basically you can walk everywhere to famous spots. The breakfast is simple but sufficient. In summary, it will definitely be a good choice.

Perfect Florence Holiday

Room was spacious for the three of us with high ceiling. Owner took the trouble to prepare some simple breakfast for us and have them sent to our room for the two nights (we stayed for five) we need to start early the following morning. A friendly host, always ready for a conversation. Breakfast was always sumptous with coffee/tea, molk, juices and fruits. Toilet looks newly renovated with heater rack, which proved to be useful after our visit from the sslf service lavanderie. Both Firenze S.M.N. and San Lorenzo Market are a mere 10 minutes leisure walk away. It was a memorable stay which enhances our first visit to this lovely italian city.

The breakfast area is very spacious and also has the kitchen essentials. Definitely as plus with small kids.
They even had some toys for the little ones to play with.

Helpful and welcoming

We had a lovely stay with Moraq, she and her staff were so helpful and welcoming without being intrusive. The accommodation is comfortable and just what we required given that we do not travel for the hotel experience, but to enjoy the cultural pursuits. The room proportions were lovely, with high ceilings and windows and sympathetic individual furnishings. Hairdryer and an efficient air conditioning system were present in the room. The premises are about a 10 minute walk to all the major landmarks and SMN station, situated in a quieter part of the city, ensuring undisturbed sleep.
I would recommend this hotel and indeed would stay again.

Nice BB minutes from everywhere you want to go

The hotel was was nice, and the location is great, 10 minute walk from the train station. The neighborhood is very quiet, may be at times too quiet as our room faced the street so any little noise seemed louder than it was. The room was large and clean, and the AC was great in the summer heat. The bathroom was modern and well maintained. There was one day were we ran out of towels but received fresh towels the next day which was fine. We never had time for breakfast because we had early morning tours so I cant speak to that but the staff were always nice.

Lots of stairs and no air conditioning!

The hotels is located near the train station in Florence and has great wifi. That is about the only good things. What no review tells you is that you have to climb all the way up the building with your luggag!. There are 76 steps, which we counted as a joke after returning from a day trip where we climbed the Tower of Pisa (which by the way has 251 steps, to give you an idea). There is also only a small AC in the hallway of the apartment. That air doesn't reach absolutely any of the bedrooms! It was 97F during our stay and We were so hot that I ended up sleeping on the floor in the hallway one night because I was sweating profusely. Also the pictures do not look like the apartment at all! The only thing I can think of is that we were put in another apartment all together and that the owner put up her apartments pictures since her and her family live there. I honestly do not understand how this hotel is rated so highly.

A bed and breakfast worth you time in Firenze

The building dates from 1838, young by the standards of Firenze. If you sleep a bit late and hear a baby's cry, do not mind, it is the child of the cleaning lady. The rooms and service is very well done.
The breakfast is simple: coffee, orange juice, yoghurt, hard roll, either brioche or croissant, and coffee - delightful Italian coffee!
The property is a 10 Euro taxi from the train station, just 7 blocks. It is but 5 blocks from the mercato. There several pizzerias, bars, restaurants within a few blocks.
The location is quiet with little Street traffic.
Would we stay again? In minute!
