Perfect stay in Florence

We absolutely loved our stay at Relais Luce! The location is a short walk from the SMN train station, but also walkable to most of the sights in Florence. There are tons of restaurant options as well. The room and bathroom were modern, well-appointed, and immaculately clean! Our room had a terrace with a table & 2 chairs where we enjoyed a glass of wine and the view in the evening. The common areas were also very nice, with a water refill station. A delicious breakfast was ordered from a checklist the evening prior and we enjoyed ours served to us on the breakfast terrace with its picturesque view. The hospitality was wonderful - everyone was friendly & helpful! We stored our bags at checkout too. It was really a lovely stay & we hope to return! Just a note that there are 3 easy steps to the elevator, and the hosts help with luggage if there are stairs to your specific room.

A cosy B&B in Florence

It was an amazing stay. The hotel was near attractions and the train station plus plenty of food options nearby.
The room was huge with a lovely view of the Cathedral, clean and equipped with the necessary amenities.
Stefano & Madelina were wonderful hosts. Stefano was really helpful checking on updates when there was a train strike the day we were leaving Florence. We will be returning to Relais Luce when we visit Florence again in the future.

Great small B&B, location was very good, close to most attractions and the main train station. Lots of options to eat /coffee shops. The room was clean and well organized.
The reception hours are limited, and during evenings there is no one at reception. The rooms are small and you can hear almost everything 😅.
Also most rooms are facing the street, it's a very central location due to the train station proximity, and very noisy during all hours, even when the window is closed. During my last night, there was work done on the street ( 1am!) what made it impossible to sleep.
Overall it's a nice hotel, but try to ask for a back room.

A fairly easy walk from the Firenze SMN train station, and in good proximity to many dining options. The property is very modern and the staff is very attentive. Reception is two floors above ground level, accessible mostly by a small lift. Depending on the room assignment there may be an additional flight of stairs to climb.

Her brother was very nice too and told me some interesting things about the olive groves in Italy. Nice breakfast on the terrace with a wonderful view. I recommend and would stay again.

Great location! Room had everything we needed. There is a shared terrace that has beautiful views.

The main negative point for us was having trouble with no he key getting back into our room. We could not get it open, and when we tried to call the emergency staff- no one answered! No one ever got back to us about our trouble actually. We eventually got in ourselves after many attempts at jiggling the key. My recommendation would be to always bring the physical key AND card with you, so you don’t have this problem.

A hidden gem with an amazing view!

Absolutely loved this place, it’s truly a hidden gem. No more than a couple of minutes from the tram and right out the door all of the highlights of Florence are within walking distance. The staff were amazing and provided excellent communication, directions and instruction. Now for the best part, the terrace is absolutely beautiful. Not only is it amazing to see at night but having breakfast each day on the terrace while the bells rang was next level. Thank you!!

This hotel is a hidden gem! Close to the train station but also to the main shopping area. Our room was spacious and the ceiling was an unreal surprise as it went about 15ft high. We also had a shared terrace at the hotel overlooking the entire town. There are only 6 rooms here so it’s quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend this spot. The breakfast is average but everything else was beyond our expectations.

Great value for money

The room was lovely and clean with a nice bathroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful! There's a
nice terrace area where breakfast is eaten in the morning - breakfast includes fruit, yoghurts, pastries, cakes, bread and various cheese and meats. The terrace is accessible at all times and has nice views. The hotel is central and is just minutes walk from the tram that goes directly to the airport, with lots of local shops, restaurants and bars. I highly recommend hotel relais Luce and would definitely return - great value for money!

Super clean quiet spot in the busy area near the train station. Beautiful room. Great location. Enjoyed the terrace. Gracious hostess.
Did not get to sample breakfast, early exit to the airport.
Would stay there again!!

The Relais Luce Florence is a great spot close to the train station. It took us about 5 minutes to walk here from the station. The actual space was very nice - modern design with an absolutely amazing patio to sit and relax and where the breakfast is served. I highly recommend doing the breakfast for 5 euros in the morning - it was very worth it! The room was great - large bathroom and full tub, which was something we didn't have at any of our other spots in Italy. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous property, we had the Doumo unit which had 20 foot vaulted ceiling like a cathedral! Great rooftop views where you can enjoy breakfast. Staff was great. We arrived after check in and they had an envelope with our key and directions, but we did have trouble finding it as it didn’t have a sign like typical hotel. The sidewalks are very narrow and crowded and we almost got pick pocketed walking back and forth trying to give it, so make sure you know where you’re going!

Fab accommodation in a great location 👍

This hotel is fantastic. A kind of ‘boutique’ style hotel which is really modern, clean and smart. The breakfast is plentiful and is very healthy rather than the usual bacon and eggs.
The staff were friendly and helpful and gave you lots information about the local area including restaurants, attractions, shops etc.
Although in a great location it’s not easy to locate as it is within a large building but if you follow directions on their website you can’t go wrong.
I have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation and would definitely stay again if we come back to Florence.

very near train/bus station

great hotel in a perfect location. It's a bit hard to find, just a plaque on the outside. Ring the bell and they buzz you upstairs. Theres an elevator to get you to the hotel. A few more stairs to your room. Very nice. They packed up a breakfast for us, helped us with bus plans, cooking class . great wifi

We very much enjoyed our one night stay at Relais Luce and wish we could have stayed longer! The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. We arrived in the morning and were able to drop off our bags so we could explore the city while they got our room ready. We were able to check in and get into our room several hours early which was great as we had just had a long overnight flight. The room itself was beautiful! We stayed in the standard double room which had an unexpected bonus of a whole loft with two additional twin beds! The room had a picturesque view of Florence. The hotel also has a beautiful balcony with views that you can use at anytime. We enjoyed a nice glass of wine on the balcony at night and had a delicious complimentary breakfast there in the morning! The hotel is in a great location, close to the train station and a very short walk to all attractions in Florence. Overall I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would stay here again!

Relais Lucia is conveniently located between the train station and the central market. The rooms are clean, modern and comfortable. Naturally, consistent with the rate, they are small, but this does not diminish their comfort. The staff is very helpful and speaks very good English. The garden terrace is wonderful with a fine view over the city; we used it for an afternoon glass of wine on both nights.

Fantastic!!

The hotel was in the perfect spot! Very close to historic sites as well as the train station. Nearby food and a vendor market was fun to visit as well as lots of restaurants. The employees were very helpful with directions and recommendations on things to see. Breakfast on the roof patio was fantastic as well. They even held our luggage for us while we looked at some more sites after check out.

Perfect stay

Great welcome from Stephan, from comfortable and well equipped, with a lovely outlook. Breakfast was exceptional and included everything for a continental breakfast. Very centrally located within easy walking distance to most historical attractions.my only complaint was the poor hairdryer.
