This is a very homey and charming B&B just up the main street in Florence, out of the hustle and bustle, with excellent and friendly service. The room was comfortable with a four-poster bed and an interior courtyard window. The rooftop terrace provides excellent views of Florence for a sunset or evening drink. The Honor Bar is a nice touch with wine and aperitifs available at good prices (not staffed, you get your own). The owner was so friendly and gave us some great tips for local trattorias in the area. Highly recommend.

An excellent, super friendly host, very responsive to any concerns and took his time to show and explain everything to us, including some excellent dining options. Room was clean and area was safe.
Very walkable area, about a 15 minute walk from the train station and 10 minutes to the Duomo.
They even had umbrellas available for us when it rained the one day! Highly recommended.

We went to Venice, Florence, Rome, Bologna and Milan during our trip and in my opinion Florence took the cake and it was in no small part to the room and the location and the friendliness of the staff, etc. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Lovely stay in Florence

This hotel was abolutely amazing and really made our trip to Florence.

It is in a very convenient location, both the train stations and the local attractions are within a 15 minute walking distance.

The roof terrace was absolutely brilliant. You can easily spend an evening up on the balcony with a nice glass of wine. The 'Honesty Bar' was a great touch. Fridge and selection of spirits etc. are made available to guests, you simply select what you've taken and it is added to the bill at the end of the stay.

The stay was lovely and all of the reception staff were warm and welcoming.

If I had to make any suggestions for improvement, the room was quite dusty.

The staff were so generous and accommodating - we arrived at 7pm on Xmas eve and they stayed late to meet us on arrival. (Note - you must arrange to check in after hours.) Shower had great water pressure and hot water. They gave us a free upgrade and we had a little sitting room upstairs in our room. The rooms were gorgeous - beautiful floor tiles, canopy bed. And the lounge had 24/7 snacks and coffee/hot chocolate. The view from the rooftop of the duomo and city is stunning. The area is quiet, and since Florence is relatively small, it is a quick walk to the tourist area. A great value and friendly staff!

Fabulous B&B! Charming room (air conditioned) decorated in traditional Tuscan style with Florentine textiles/colours and dark wood. Excellent en-suite bathroom. Good Continental Breakfast with a range of dishes and drinks. The Reception is staffed all day and they were very friendly and helpful. Apart from the Reception area there is a Breakfast Room and Lounge, all decorated in the Florentine style. Last but not least there is the Roof Terrace with views across Florence and the surrounding hills. We stayed for five nights and it was perfect.

Pros:
Perfect Location - quiet yet only 10.mins. walk from the Duomo
Lift from the Ground Floor up to the B&B
Bijou - only six rooms
Beautifully decorated - full of Tuscan character
Air Conditioned throughout
Roof Terrace with views across Florence and the surrounding hills
Friendly, Helpful Staff
Excellent value for money

Fantastic stay, lovely warm friendly reception staff, particularly in afternoons, where the lady was very helpful with recommendations and bookings.
Boutique hotel and good breakfast (although could be better spread for a vegan travellers).
Lovely rooftop. Would recommend to anyone and would most definitely stay again.
We felt at home and treated it like our home, feeling comfortable to do whatever we wanted as opposed to a regular hotel.

Many thanks for making our stay memorable.

Also love the honesty bar concept.

The most perfect hotel in all of Italy!

Everything about our stay was perfect from beginning to end. First of all, the staff are truly wonderful -- so friendly, and so helpful, even when I needed to see a doctor they did everything they could to help me find and communicate with someone. Next, the hotel and rooms are beautiful -- there is attention to every detail from decor to hospitality. I enjoyed the carefully selected art and flowers and silverware and books. I appreciated the coffee/tea selection available 24/7 and love that they offered biscotti and liqueur - such a nice touch! Breakfast is fresh, flavourful, bountiful and beautiful. And, if you happen to have any allergies or need to supplement your meal in any way, a fridge is available for use (i.e. I kept my non-dariy milk there to use with coffee in the morning). The beds are super comfy, the hot water and water pressure in the bathrooms are perfect, and the towels are perfectly fluffy. The location is also fantastic. Firenze is small, so it's easy to get around from just about any location, but the situation of the hotel at the northernmost tip made it just far enough away from the tourist bustle to feel like you were staying somewhere nicely secluded. And, speaking of getting away from tourist bustle, the rooftop terrace is stunning!! Gorgeous 360 views of the city, the mountains... ah! So beautiful! If you aren't already sure, I LOVED THIS HOTEL!
