Ernest
Nice kitchen- there was instant coffee but would prefer coffee available on site
Nigel
Very nice B&B walking distance from historic centr
Nice room with ensuite shower and toilet.
Although it faced the (residential)street it wasn't noisy.
Not too far from the station - we trundled suitcases for about 20 minutes.
A few restaurants within 5 - 10 minutes walk.
Thomaso and Marta are a very nice couple who do the best for their guests. Our big disappointment was that due to a change in their circumstances they had discontinued the in-house breakfast and we got a voucher for a coffee and a couple of croissants at a nearby café (but we learned this only on arrival). When booking accommodation we had sought to avoid such an arrangement.

Our stay was great, room was huge, we had a lot of space and there was a bonus tiny kitchen we were not expecting. The hosts made us a fresh breakfast with coffee each morning out in the garden.
Susan
Best place ever! Perfect example of what a lovely B&B should be. Marta was the best host, showed us how to get to places, Carolina was amazing cook and a sweetheart. If I am ever going back to Firenze, I’ll definitely be back there.
Amanda
Wonderful place to stay. The hostess and husband were great. Very clean. Highly recommended to stay at.
Jennifer
This was the most perfect spot in the much-recommended Santo Spirito neighborhood. We were within walking distance from everything but on a quiet street, which was really nice. The room was perfect for our two night stay, and the bathroom was sizable for two people. The breakfast was a major highlight in the gorgeous garden - I could’ve stayed forever. Marta & everyone else working there were so lovely and helpful throughout our stay. We came home to a freshly made bed and filled water carafe each night, which was much appreciated after a long day of exploring Florence.
Tiffany
Marta and staff was absolutely amazing to myself and my mom during our stay. The property was adorable. We were cozy and happy with lots of information and travel tips given to us. Breakfast was wonderful. The main attractions of the area are walkable. I had issues getting cabs, so Marta helped me. We loved this place and would recommend to anyone
Georgia
Marta is the most wonderful host. Breakfast was always sooo good!!!
Ashley
Beautiful property, amazing breakfast!
Marta greeted us and answered every question we had while we were there. She prepared a delicious breakfast and we ate outdoors in the garden. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic. Not a bad walk to Pitti Palace, Boboli gardens and Ponte Vexxhio and once you are there you are close to everything! Highly recommend!!!
JANET
Marta was extremely helpful and friendly, and her breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. Would definitely return if back in Florence (even though the stairs to the top floor were a challenge!!)
SERA
A 20 min walk from Firenze Santa Maria Novella station. Not so easy to pull along a wheely case along the uneven pavements of Florence. Comfortable bed and bedding. Very clean. My room shared a bathroom and it was no bother. Marta was welcoming and made a lush brekkie and more than happy to advise or answer questions.

Great host, comfortable rooms, great breakfast.

The property is great to meet the needs of a mobile traveller. Very quiet, safe, relaxing, and super friendly people - Marthe and Jose who took care of us!

Marta was the perfect host and the delicious breakfast every morning in the garden was the perfect way to start the day . I would highly recommend this delightful B and B.
Quinn
Marta is an amazing host! If your trying to decide between a major hotel or this, stay at B&B Monte Oliveto. We spent 6 nights in the honeymoon sweet and it was the perfect home base for our trip in Florence
Rebecca
A perfect place to stay in Firenze!
We had a great stay at Martas B&B Monte Oliveto! Clean and cozy rooms and a beautiful garden! Our host was really helpful, friendly and she served the best breakfasts. We will definately come back! :)
William
Thank you, Donatella!
We spent several nights in mid-November at B&B Monte Oliveto and were warmly hosted by the owner Donatella. She saw to our every comfort, especially with regard to breakfast, which she prepares pretty much from scratch everyday. She is an amazing cook and breakfast at Monte Oliveto is easily the best of many that we have experienced on our tours of Italy that range from Catania to Bolzano over many years. So this feature alone makes Monte Oliveto a standout. Breakfast is served in the dining room and we were joined by very pleasant guests from France and Slovakia--the former, a poet from Toulouse. What charming company! Breakfast is available bedside for a small service charge, as well. The room was spacious and immaculately kept, as was the bathroom. The B&B is just over the Arno from the center of Florence and is easily accessible by foot or bus. The Cappella Brancacci is just a very short walk away and the Pitti Place a few minutes beyond there.
Donatella is, in addition to being quite the hostess and chef, a talented artist, as well. While she does not have her art out for general display, she will happily show you her watercolors upon request. Do ask--they are quite good.
This is a highly recommended accommodation to spend as much time as you can give over to a visit to Florence. You will be shown the absolute best experience possible. Thank you, Donatella!

Marta is an excellent host and she is very friendly and willing to help make your stay wonderful. She made us a very nice breakfast and we really enjoyed meeting her and the other guests. Her place is in nice quiet neighborhood but very close and walkable to the major sights and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay. The room was right off the main floor and very cosy, clean and we liked the decor a lot.
Verified traveler
Very quiet and clean. Staff very pleasant but not always on site which can be a problem. It is more like being in an AirBnB than a hotel. The studio apt is nice but lots of steps and an attic room. Impossible for anyone over 5’5
noah
Marta and Donatella are amazing hosts. The house and room were both beautiful and clean, and the breakfast in the morning is delicious. But people should know it’s a sort of long walk into the center of town. All in all a great place to stay!

Clean and good food. Easy access. Friendly hostess. And property hostess called to confirm arrival time.

Excellent location, spotless clean , most helpful host

The B&B Monte Oliveto and its hostesses were one of our highlights of Florence. Its located in the Oltrarno district, with local shops and restaurants across the river and outside the hustle and bustle of downtown. The breakfasts were perfect, and the welcome was the best of any B&B we've experienced, with a conversation of what we had planned and detailed tips accordingly. We can't wait to go back again!
Verified traveler
Amazing stay, clean, cosy and comfortable, owners so friendly and helpful!!

Thank you Marta e Cristina!
Marta and Cristina did a great job and went out of their way to make sure we had a very pleasant stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Florence!

We were expecting a full room, where we could stand tall. We ended up getting the attic. Didn't realize it was attic until we got there. That was very disappointing. The owner of property called the next day after supposed check out and offered refund

Little oasis in Florence
AMAZING... short of words to describe our experience at Monte Oliveto. Excellent location at the South side of the Arno river, close to the classic place to visit but in a tranquil area. Marta is a fountain of knowledge of Florence and provided us with sound advice on places we could visit based on our preferences, a terrific host, kind, always available for the guests needs, and a traveler herself, which gives her a good understanding of the needs and expectations of the her guests. Great at being a link with the rest of the guests, with whom we had wonderful breakfasts, late conversations at the patio, and even went together to one of the gallerias.
We couldn’t be more confident in recommending B&B Monte Oliveto, you are for a pleasant experience.
Need to mention, Marta and Donatella prepared terrific breakfast as well, normally served at an amazing patio, which made all of us to stay for longer chats every day.
Thank you, thank you Marta!!!!

Host was very good, with good recommendations and local info sharing on good sightseeing and dining spots.

We had such a lovely stay at the B&B Monte Oliveto. The room was spacious, clean, and inviting. The breakfast provided each day was delicious and with lots of variety. Donatella provided us with some excellent recommendations for restaurants and gelato. The location, for us, was excellent. It was away from the very busy tourist area and we enjoyed the walk across the bridge. If we make it back to Florence we will be staying here again.
Verified traveler
Wow wow wow! What an incredible spot to stay in Florence. Don’t be deterred by it’s distance from the center (only about a 12 minute walk). If anything, being at Monte Oliveto was a reprieve from the buzz of the tourists. Donatella was an incredible hostess who made us a delicious breakfast every morning. We highly recommend this to anyone visiting Florence!
Lisa
We LOVED our visit with Donnatella. Wonderful B&B. Bed comfortable, room beautiful, great location, awesome breakfasts and excellent advice about local attractions and restaurants. If I am ever lucky enough to be back in florence, I hope to stay there again. All teh best, Lisa

We loved the location of the Donatella's property! close enough to main sights, yet away from the large crowds...Penny market nearby, mini fridge in room, cleaning staff was great! the host was the best part...Donatella is a gem...they don't come sweeter than her! Very talkative, friendly and knowledgable about the city's history....yummy food that she prepared every morning
Sarah
Hostess and Host both lovely, friendly ..Breakfast hearty and filling.

I liked B&B Mount Olivetti so much. For me, the best part was Donitella. What a fountain of information in addition to being the best hostess you can find outside Bermuda. So unbelievably friendly. A lovely welcoming and parting gift as part of the usual pattern. Her accomidations were always clean. Just gonna miss her so much.

A fabulous place to stay in Florence!!
We loved staying across the river, away from the hoards of tourists and noisy traffic. And it gave us the opportunity to get to know the charming Oltrarno neighborhood really well. The host and hostess could not have been more welcoming and helpful in providing information about where to go and how to do Florence. And the breakfasts were fantastic! We very highly recommend this B&B!

A home in Florence
Wonderful couple who warmly welcome you and if needed, give you directions to city attractions and tips on where to eat, go...etc
Room very comfortable and clean, and while I don't like shared bathroom, it was so clean and my neighbors were so nice and quite I didn't mind it at all.
I like the feeling of returning \"home\" at the end of the day rather than a routine hotel. It added to the Florence cultural experience.

Donnatella was a gracious host!
This was our first trip to Florence and Donnatella was a delight. She mapped out all the best museums, restaurants and of course, gelato! Monte Oliveto has a more authentic feel set slightly outside the touristy side of Florence. We would definitely stay here again.

Cosy house with a great hostess !
Great house to stay in Firenze! Donatella is really nice and always ready to help. Quiet area near good restaurants, and not far from the main turistic places. Poor isolation between the rooms.

Home away from Home!
Stayed in Wisteria room, I love the bathroom and terrace. My mom has very exacting standards re. cleanliness and I straight away watsapp her a pic to tell her this is THE place to stay if she is planning to visit Florence.
Donatella was awesome! Her homemade breakfast *yum* She was such an artist as well and showed us her beautiful watercolor books detailing her travels.
Donatella's restaurant and museum recommendations were on point. She told us about extended Galleria dell'Accademia hours so we could enjoy David in relative peace without much crowd. Also her recommendation of garden visit was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views! I have very good memories of this trip and would definitely stay in Monte Oliveto again.

It felt like home.
From the minute you enter Monte Oliveto, you feel like family. Donatella has a special gift with people, and has the perfect balance of attentiveness and space when needed. Her accommodations are clean, comfortable, beautifu,l and in a great spot for exploring but away from the tourism. We stayed in the upper suite for a family and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. The AC was always the right temperature, the beds comfortable, it was quiet and just great. I will always remember her special breakfast spreads on the patio. It was easy to come and go s you please without worry. She treated our children with kindness and warmth. Just a lovely stay no we HIGHLY recommend her B&B. We loved Florence and hope to return. Thank you, Donatella!

Charming B&B with lovely people hosting
Our wonderful experience with Monte Oliveto began before we even arrived. We made a special request, which required some back & forth communication, and Donatella was great at responding quickly and graciously. She went out of her way to receive the delivery of our Andrea Bocelli tickets and made us feel confidant that there would be no issues. And there weren't! Her daughter Marta was an amazing hostess. She greeted us when we arrived and provided suggestions of things to see and do in the area. She prepared and served lovely breakfasts on the terrace each day and made museum and taxi reservations for us. She also went out of her way to do some research for us on transportation challenges for the concert in Lajatico, near Pisa. When it looked like we had very few reasonable options, she offered her boyfriend to drive us. These are wonderful, lovely people, who go above & beyond, and they made our stay very memorable. Their charming B&B is off the beaten path, but still very walkable to many of the major historic sites. We'd love to return and stay again someday!

Perfect place to stay in Florence.
Wonderful stay for my family and I. The location was perfect and the hospitality was above and beyond what you might expect. Donnatella made our stay perfect by recommending places to eat, places to go and by serving an amazing breakfast each day. The room was spacious, beautiful and comfortable. All three of us slept like babies! We will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend this place!

Wonderful B&B with AMAZING hostess!
Charming B&B in Florence! Donatella is an incredibly warm and generous hostess and an incredible cook! I met several others who have consistently stayed with her on several visits to Italy so clearly I'm not the only one who's discovered this gem! While it was hard to say goodbye to Florence it was even harder to say goodbye to what had begun to feel like a home away from home.

Wonderful Bed & Breakfast
Wonderful bed and breakfast close to the heart of Florence. Dontella and her daughter are wonderful hosts, offering a beautiful breakfast, take the time to explain options to make sure you have the most enjoyable experience and stay. Is about a 15mins walk to reach the central. Is worth the walk to enjoy some relaxation and ease of travel. You will enjoy the experience.
Thomas
Amazing! Believe the reviews
Had a great time! The hostess was awesome and helpful with giving trip tips and ideas, would even book tours and museums if needed. Breakfast was simple but home cooked every morning. Bed was really comfortable. Decent sized room and the B&B was cozy and in a quiet location with about a 20-25 min walk to the center of all the main attractions in Florence. Some rooms do share a bathroom, but it was never an issue on my stay. Would have no issue staying here again, and I can't think that you would either!

The owners were very friendly and the rooms very nice. They served very nice breakfast - made vegetarian stuff for us. It was very close to the attractions. We would love to go there again. The kids loved it as well.

nice experience
We have stayed on the rooftop room. Ceiling was quite low on top of the bed. Balcony was nice in the room. Air-con works well. Bathroom is very beautifully decorated but having a shower is very difficult because of the low ceiling as well. You can not stand up when you are showering. The owner was very nice and helpful.

Incredible Stay
One of the best places I have ever stayed in my life! Donatella, the owner, was remarkably helpful, kind and a truly invaluable resource. Breakfast was delicious!!!! The place is in a great neighborhood, away from the touristy parts of the town, which gives an awesome feel for how people live in Florence. It is super easy to find from the train station and is a short walk from everything you could imagine. Loved the place!!!

Florence Visit
This bed and breakfast is just a 10 minute walk from the heart of Florence. We stayed two nights as we toured Florence. The host, Donatella, is wonderfully warm, charming and most helpful. She prepares a wonderful breakfast and maintains a clean, efficient B&B. On-street parking is available. Her backyard garden is beautiful and we would have enjoyed it had it not been raining. Our room was clean and comfortable. I have a habit of taking off my wedding ring when I sleep. Apparently, I knocked the ring off the night table and left without it. By the time I realized I wasn't wearing it, in Lucca two hours later, I desperately called Donatella. She reassured me she had found it and shipped it back to the US. We immensely enjoyed our stay with Donatella. We highly recommend it.

Best place in Florence!
This is the best place we stayed at in Florence - ever! Donatella and her husband live on the property and truly care about guest services and the cleanliness of the rooms. It's an easy walk to everything, but if you have lots of bags take a cab.

All you expect from a good b&b and and a bit more
We stayed here for two nights and we only wished it were longer.
The house was absolutely stunning (outside and inside) located in a very nice residential neighbourhood which is just 15mins walk from the central tourist area. The room was artistically decorated with a decent balance leaving it still feeling like home.
Certainly not 5star hotel luxury but feels very comfortable for sure. The owner was very friendly and offered useful insights in how we should organise our stay in Florence.
Homemade breakfast was simple but delicious...
Expectations were high when we first booked it given the strong reviews on tripadvisors / hotels.com but i now think all the good feedback / reviews were well deserved.

Special bed & breakfast in Florentine neighborhood
We loved our stay at Mount Olivetto. Our host Donatella, was a highlight. She was warm and welcoming, helpful with all things tourist in Florence, and made the most delicious breakfasts for us every day. We cannot recommend this hotel highly enough if you are interested in an off the beaten track stay in Florence.

Beautiful B & B in an authentic area of Florence
Monte Oliveto is situated on a quiet street away from the frenetic city centre. With a beautiful garden to the rear it is a real oasis in this bustling place yet only minutes away from the bridges that take you over the river Arno into the heart of beautiful Florence. Donatella and Marta are so friendly and welcoming and a mine of information. In the area are several typical Tuscan trattoria serving some of the most delicious food I have ever eaten, all recommended to us by Marta. It is close to the Boboli Gardens, Pitti Palace and the walk to Forte Belvedere with the most amazing view over Florence. On this side of the river you will also find interiors and antique shops and also the workshops of artisans. Really interesting.The hotel itself is beautifully decorated. We were lucky enough to have the room at the top with its private terrace, small kitchen and amazing bathroom. The breakfasts were lovely, everyday something different: cheese souffles, pancakes, freshly baked cakes, crostini with tomatoes and olive oil....To stay here really is to live the Dolce Vita and we hope to return one day!
Salvador
Awesome experience!
This was the perfect stay for us. Close to all the places we wanted to visit yet in a quiet part of town. Felt like being home in Florence with a very charming family. We'll be back again, hopefully soon! Thank you.
