Guest Reviews

- Georg (7/5): -
- Anthony (10/5): Our host was fantastic and extremely helpful. Her baked goods were the best. She waited for us when we arrived later tha - It was as tucked away on a quiet street but close to everything.
- Arianna (7/5): -
- Mona (8/5): -
- Gil (9/5): נהנינו מאוד מהמלון. חוויה נהדרת. - בעלת המקום עוזרת מאוד ונותנת שרות מדהים. המיקום מעולה והבניין מיוחד מאוד. ארוחת הבוקר ראויה לשיפור וגם את המתקנים בחדר אפשר לשדרג.
- Norma (8/5): Great location near the Duomo. Weichbilds in the center of everything you want to see. - Breakfast was very good. I enjoyed the buffet and there was a lot to choose from. Noise of other guests coming in late.
- Cella (9/5): -
- Balázs (9/5): -
- John (10/5): - Barbara and her staff were very helpful and courteous. The breakfast, included with our room, was outstanding. Being only a few minutes walk from the Duomo and may spots, the location was convenient and safe.
- Michel (9/5): -
- Geoffrey (8/5): -
- arrighetti (8/5): -
- Marta (10/5): Un sitio espacial - TODO! La estética, el trato del personal, el desayuno, la ubicación! Nada!
- Elisabeth (8/5): Prima verblijf voor een stedentrip. - Achter een grote voordeur schuilt een verborgen plek. Mijn kamer op de begaande grond had nog een authentieke deur. De kamer is schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Het interieur en meubilair iets verouderd maar dat geeft het ook charme. Het ontbijt was zeer uitgebreid. De gastvrouw erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De locatie is echt top. De douche was wat aan de krappe kant.
- Mariella Gloria Platania (10/5): - La posizione, la struttura e la colazione Nulla
- claudia (10/5): Wonderful, just book! - The breakfast was the best I have ever had at an B and B!! Barbara is the consummate host, very welcoming and offering valuable advice and suggestions for tours and things to do in the city. She is an incredible baker and her breakfast is delicious!!
- Giovanni Battista (10/5): Soggiorno perfetto - Soggiorno semplicemente perfetto. Il Villino residenza B&B di Firenze è una struttura curata in ogni dettaglio, pulitissima, accogliente e in una posizione comodissima per visitare la città.
La vera differenza però la fa Barbara: una host eccezionale, disponibile, gentile e sempre attenta alle esigenze degli ospiti. Ci ha fatto sentire accolti fin dal primo momento, con consigli preziosi e una grande professionalità.
Una menzione speciale va ai dolci fatti in casa preparati da lei: davvero buonissimi, genuini e preparati con grande cura, una coccola in più che rende la colazione speciale.
Nulla è stato lasciato al caso, tutto ha superato le aspettative. Consigliatissimo, torneremmo senza esitazione!
- Alexander (9/5): -
- Liz (10/5): Authentic rustic hotel - Barbara was a wonderful host - such wonderful stories and conversations. Lovely little room with comfy bed. As I say below bathroom is small but it has everything we needed and more - body wash and conditioner and soap and more! A hair dryer too. 10/10 for sure. What a fabulous view too!! The Duomo. Oh also the breakfast - the cakes were home made !! The bathroom is quite small but it has absolutely everything you need.
- Carine (10/5): -
- Leslie (9/5): Beautiful Stay in Florence - The building was lovely with lots of character! The breakfasts were amazing. We loved our time in Florence!
- Iris (10/5): Fantastisch verblijf waar men heel behulpzaam en vriendelijk is en lekker ontbijt! - De dame des huizes hielp ons (twee 18-jarigen) ontzettend goed bij het reserveren van musea en gaf uitleg over diverse weetjes. /
- Didier (9/5): -
- Diana (10/5): Wonderful time in Florence - The property is a historical building, very pretty and atmospheric. Its location is excellent- mostly 10-15 min walk to any tourist spots in the city. Barbara, the proprietor, is very welcoming and accommodating, fun to talk to and always has a useful advice for the guests of Florence.
- Michael (10/5): -
- Marina (10/5): A la altura de la ciudad - Era un sitio encantador. Muy tranquilo. Nuestra habitación tenía vistas al Duomo. Precioso Todo me gustó
- Carol (10/5): Exceptional B&B just a few blocks from the Accademia - This is a great B&B whose owner, Barbara, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She is also an amazing cook, making delicious pastries to top off a hearty breakfast. She also gave us great suggestions for where to go, tailored to our interests and available time. The B&B is very quiet, located within walking distance of many major sights. No complaints.
- Maria (8/5): El corazón de Florencia - La ubicación es fantástica, cerca de todo con la academia al lado. Se puede llegar perfectamente a pie desde la parada del tram (aeropuerto). El personal muy amable y atento.
La habitación es pequeña pero tiene una vista preciosa del duomo. La cama es un poco incómoda y pequeña de tamaño. El baño completo pero nos falló la presión del agua caliente.
- Andreas (8/5): So besonders wie gewünscht und erwartet!! - Ein sehr liebevoll gepflegtes historisches Gebäude mit großen Zimmern mit Innenhof, in ruhiger kleiner Straße ideal gelegen zum Zentrum und zur Tram Richtung Flughafen.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut und mit köstlichem, selbstgebackenem Kuchen. Die Besitzerin hat uns sehr freundlich empfangen, war jederzeit ansprechbar und hat uns mit vielen Tipps versorgt! Im Garten waren viele Tauben, die ich persönlich nicht mag. Aber wir haben wegen des Wetters innen gefrühstückt, daher haben sie nicht gestört.
Leider sind nicht alle Gäste im Obergeschoss so rücksichtsvoll gewesen, wie es sein könnte. Das tolle alte Gebäude ist eben etwas hellhöriger. Barbara hat sich trotzdem entschuldigt und ich habe mir Ohrstöpsel gekauft!
- Alejandro (10/5): -
- Leasly (10/5): - We truly enjoyed our stay in Florence. The room was beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for. Location is perfect easy to get to all the main attractions, highly recommend.
- GUSTAVO (8/5): Il Vinillo, una estancia agradable en el centro de Florencia - Il Vinillo es un B&B en el centro de Florencia en una antigua casona cerca de la galeria de la Academia. La atención de Bárbara y Carmine es muy cálida, las habitaciones son cómodas, el desayuno estupendo ( Bárbara es una repostera excepcional) y se respira un ambiente tranquilo para pasarla bien. No hubo reparos
- Cecilia (10/5): -
- Pamela (10/5): Old World Charm - Wonderful stay at this B&B. I was a solo traveler and Barbara was very helpful in giving me advice on navigating around the city. She is an exceptional baker and made sure I had gluten free goodies with my breakfast each morning. The room was gorgeous with beautiful antique stained glass windows. The location was convenient to the duomo which is pretty much central to everything. I was very comfortable during my stay and would come back again to this B&B if ever again in Florence. Nothing
- Christian (9/5): Tolle Location am Rande der Altstadt von Florenz - Tolles historisches Gebäude in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Altstadt. Außergewöhnliches Zimmer. Wunderschöner Innenhof. Sehr nettes Personal und ausgezeichnetes Frühstück. Inhaberin ist passionierte Kuchenbäckerin. Die Via Della Pergola ist offenbar ein wichtiger Zufahrtsweg zum Krankenhaus. Daher relativ häufig Rettungsdienste unterwegs mit Martinshorn. Dafür kann natürlich das Hotel nichts.
- Tobie (10/5): Perfect place for few days in Florence. - Great location and breakfast. Staff was very helpful and provided recommendations for dinner at local restaurants.
- Joel (10/5): Lovely Family Stay! - Was a fantastic stay for us - a crib for our baby and a nice room for our toddler. The staff kindly arranged the bed so that she wouldn't roll off!
Staff were all so helpful and the breakfast cakes were delicious.
- Jennifer (10/5): Barbara is an absolute gem. Perfect hostess, very caring and was willing to help us in anyway. - The breakfast had a great selection of homemade desserts and something to satisfy everyone’s needd
- Juraj (10/5): - Štýlove ubytovanie v stredovekom dome v centre (ale uplne ticho) 5 minut od peso od Katedraly. Perfektna pani majitelka, poradila co a kde vidiet, staci sa len spytat a dostanete odpoved ako z encyklopedie :-) Ako mile prekvapenie napiekla dcere na ranajky cokoladove muffiny :-) Radi sa vratime :-)
- Bourdon (9/5): -
- Brett (10/5): Made to feel right at home in this friendly and comfortable B&B, close to all major attractions. - Friendly atmosphere and friendly staff. Spacious room - lovely outside seating area.
Tasty breakfast especially the home baked treats.
Nice walkable location for all the sites of Florence.
Historic building.
- Françoise (10/5): Une belle adresse de charme à Florence. - Beau palais ancien, situé dans un quartier très calme et agréable, mais proche du centre historique. Très bon accueil de Barbara, toujours disponible pour vous aider ou conseiller. Très bon petit déjeuner (merci Barbara pour les gàteaux!), que nous avons pris chaque matin dehors dans la jolie cour-jardin. A 10' à pied à peine du terminus du tram, très pratique pour rejoindre l'aéroport. Un endroit où on se sent comme chez soi et où on à envie de revenir. Rien.
- Sally (10/5): -
- Sara (10/5): - We had a lovely time at this B&B in Florence. We were a family of three (parents and teen) and enjoyed our stay in a triple room at this well-located property. The property owners were very kind, shared lots of local tips and suggestions on food, excursions etc. and accommodated all of our needs. The breakfast was abundant and delicious.
- Hande (10/5): A Warm Stay with a Wonderful Host - Staying here felt like visiting a good friend’s home. Barbara, the owner, is incredibly warm, caring, and welcoming🧡 such a lovely person..The place is beautiful, and our room was spacious, with high ceilings and a calm, airy atmosphere. Definitely not one of those tiny, cramped hotel rooms. We especially loved the area that opens to the back courtyard. It was such a peaceful spot, and our dog had the best time running around happily.
The breakfast was generous and full of delicious options. On our last day, we even got to taste a special dessert made by Barbara herself ( baba cake 😬) I can still remember how amazing it tasted. I just wish we had had more time to sit and chat with her.. she’s truly like a book🧡The whole place is spotless, full of heart, and within walking distance to everything. We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay.
- Berry (8/5): Huge historical rooms centrally in Florence - The room and building were great, the information from the hostess were enormously Breakfast was simple unless you are into cakes
- Julia (10/5): A wonderful way to experience the history and culture of Florence! - Lovely hotel in a renovated and storied historic villa! Very nice room and fabulous experience with the staff. Would absolutely stay here again!
- Huey (9/5): Great Holiday in a great place to stay - Great Location and everything were within walking distance. The host super friendly and helps to check my train schedule on my last day to make sure I don't arrive too early. And there is one morning I need to leave super early and she ready breakfast for me as well. The room is clean, and I wake up with birds chime outside the windows. ( just one or two and not too noisy )
- Sally (10/5): Excellent in every way. The location is excellent. - Delightful, friendly and kind owner. Barbara was the best and always willing to give advice or to help with any question.
- Bancroft (9/5): Wonderful stay , we felt well cared for, really well cared for. Barbara is a gem. - Terrific staff, great location Softer beds
- Henschel (10/5): Exceptional - This was an amazing experience with an incredibly helpful host with an easy walking distance to anywhere in the historic district of Florence. We loved our stay!!! Would stay there again!!! Nothing!
- Doug (8/5): Very good -
- Hannah (9/5): Superb - A lovely hotel in the middle of Florence. We had the economy room at the top with the Duomo view, it was excellent. The rooms were comfortable and the breakfast, with homemade cakes, was a real highlight. The staff are very helpful.
- Allen (10/5): - Great location, quiet and nice staff.
- Ajoke (10/5): - Barbara was a fantastic host. The room was cleaned daily and the breakfast spread was delicious.
- Maureen (9/5): Nice b&b in Florence - Great location, central but quiet. Cute facilities/decor. The host Barbara is kind and knowledgeable. Bed could be comfier. Lock on terrace door was broken.
- Hedda (10/5): Exceptional - We had the pleasure of staying at Residenza II Villino B&B and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality. The hotel itself is beautiful and has an old italian vibe.
One of the highlights of our stay was the wonderful service provided by Barbara, she was incredibly kind, always going above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect. Whether it was offering recommendations for local attractions or just making sure we had everything we needed.
- Mariia (9/5): Superb - The location and the villa itself are unique, a great place if you want to get an authentic Florence experience. The rooms are very clean, and there is a cute little patio inside. Also, the breakfast is fantastic — the owner, Barbara, baked the cakes herself.
- Dale (6/5): - This property is quite dated and lacking amenities of newer properties charging similar fees. We asked for a ground level room next to the “garden”, which is what we got, but the garden was not well maintained or usable.
The bed in our room was very old and not comfortable.
The staff were knowledgeable, very nice and offered good advice on dining optiins.
- Angela (6/5): Pleasant - The breakfast was good, location great and staff wonderful. The room and shower were tiny, tiny.
- Hanna (4/5): Disappointing - The size of the room and location of the hotel. Once we arrived, our room had cockroaches. We killed one, but others ran away. Was horrible.
The check-in time ends at 19.00, so be careful as nobody will wait for you even if your flight was delayed or canceled. The price is too high for provided facilities. The breakfast is pretty average for the price you pay.
- Catherine (9/5): Friendly bed and breakfast - Barbara was very friendly and helpful.
Historic building.
The bedroom was a good size and comfortable and breakfast was plentiful. Nothing
- Pengelley (10/5): Wonderful! - The hostess was caring and attentive. She was always offering her help and had excellent recommendations for places to eat and visit. I would definitely stay here again. Beds could be a touch more comfortable.
- Rebecca (10/5): Amazing, beautiful and welcoming hotel in the heart of Florence - Staying here was a highlight of our Italy adventure. The room was gorgeous, spacious and crowned with pillars from the late 1400's. The breakfast was fantastic, lots of traditional cakes, meats and cheese plus fruit, eggs and more. The location is fantastic, close to major attractions. The best part of the stay was meeting Barbara, the owner. She was so welcoming, helpful, funny and interesting. It was obvious that she pours her heart and soul into this little hotel and it translated to a wonderful and memorable stay for us.
- Richard (9/5): Classic property, great location, friendly and attentive staff -
- Alison (10/5): MOST REALAXING STUNNING PLACE WITH AN INCREDIBLE VIEW! - Barbara was absolutely incredible! She made sure to give my sister and I the best tips about where to go and looking up places for us to book. She was so commutative and really cared about the people staying at her property and made sure they all had a pleasant stay. She makes the best deserts at breakfast and I will miss eating them very much! You can tell She was made to be a host and I hope I can come back someday. 10/10 recommend!!! Everything was amazing
- Patrick (8/5): - Barbara was fantastic. She was very helpful in obtaining our train reservations for Salerno. We enjoy the outdoors and each morning the breakfast server made sure we had a tablecloth for our table. I had left some shirts in the armoire and they saw them and added them to our luggage before we left.
Thank you for making our stay so easy and memorable.
Until Next Time
- Ruth (6/5): Breakfast was nice,however our stay was disappointing. - Lovely outdoor area for breakfast. We had no hot water for 3 out of our 4 night stay. Decor very dated!
- Julie (10/5): A wonderful relaxing location with beautiful views of the town and rolling hills - It was a beautiful location and the hotel, being an old villa had a lot of character.
The management were very welcoming and explained where to visit in the local area.
Breakfast was included and was very good with a lot of choice. The bed mattress was slightly hard but that was all
- Damian (7/5): It was okay, but we definitely won't be back. The situation with the owner was very disturbing and not cool - Great localization, few minutes of walk from most known places in Florence.
Style of the room. You can really feel that you are in renesanse city.
Awesome cappuccino for breakfast. Noisy AC unit in a room. It’s also barely enough to cool the room. We reported it to the owner, she said that technician will come next morning but no one showed up. So we had to turn off the AC during nights.
Soundproofing of room doesn’t exist.
Breakfast is monotonous, every day the same things.
Owner is nice but only if you agree with her. Also she did not say that the city tax must be paid in cash, and on the last day she was very upset that I did not have cash with me and had the nerve to pay with a card because then she loses money.
- Griffin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maria (8/5): Wonderful central place to stay - Barbara was wonderful and gave lots of great advice about things to see in Florence. Amazing cakes at breakfast and a really central location where you can walk to all the main attractions. Wonderful city and very welcoming host
- Laura (10/5): Barbara is a wonderful host! All of her recommendations were terrific and she really helps her guests have a great expe - Excellent location. Lovely historic property
- Emanuela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Linda (10/5): The best part of our Italian vacation. - Barbara was wonderful! Made us all feel at home instantly. Very helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Her pastries were delicious. Our grandson has a peanut allergy and she made sure he had plenty of options. Everything was wonderful.
- Michelle (7/5): Good -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Staff were friendly and informative. Location was good. Room was a bit small but we were only there 2 nights so was OK.
- Ginger (10/5): Five days in Florence for a family get away. Barbara gave us excellent tips on where to go and what to see and dinner op - The location was absolutely perfect. Close to at least 10 of the top tourist destinations we wanted to visit. The breakfast was delicious, several options and our hostess/host treated us like family. Not applicable.
- Georgiann (9/5): Superb - Barbara is amazing. We are so grateful to her for all of her generosity! Her breakfast was wonderful. She has a great, small staff! Location was perfect. NOTE: Speak with Barbara before bringing a car to this location or any location in old Florence. It is complicated!
- Ellis (10/5): A wonderful stay. Delicious breakfast, lovely facility, and terrific host. - Barbara, the host was wonderful!
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dale (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lydia (9/5): Absolutely lovely couple days in central Florence with very helpful staff in a great location and for great value. Would - Full of character in a lovely location with staff being very helpful. There were some small issues with air con / water which meant we had plenty of mozzies coming in the open window, but this was dealt with by the staff wonderfully who were very helpful. Like the bit of dust that came from the high timbered ceiling in the historic building (with another occupied room above),the mosquitos were all part of the full Florence experience!
- Kelly (10/5): - What an absolute delight it was to stay at this property. The breakfasts every morning were so lovely and the hospitality of the owner, Barbara was incredible. She spent so much time with us ensuring our restaurant choices and days were spent best. So grateful for our time here and would definitely come back!
- Ken (10/5): - Perfect and gracious.
- James (10/5): Awesome - Friendly
- Tong (10/5): Exceptional - Barbara and the whole team at Residenza Il Villino B&B made our stay in Florence an extremely joyful experience. The location can not be better. The home-made breakfast can not be better and the little terrace attached to our room was a joyful surprise. Barbara's knowledge on everything about Florence, from attractions to authentic food, are a huge plus as well. We will definitely stay for the next trip to Florence.
- Andrew (8/5): Highly recommend. Awesome location and comfortable stay - Barbara was a brilliant guest who helped us out with anything we needed. Whether it was restaurant or place suggestions she went above the normal to help us out.
She is a fantastic cook and the breakfasts are beautiful. Maintenance on the rooms needs to be looked at. Some of the PowerPoints were loose
- Nigel (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet and room spacious. Help for local places and transport excellent. Breakfast with choices including nice cakes. Pigeons in courtyard. Hahaha
- Leslie (10/5): Delightful stay, wonderful, quiet location, welcoming host. - The location was excellent. The breakfast was wonderful, and the host, Barbara, was very helpful. The apartment was charming and unique.

- Andrea (10/5): Perfect location and perfect family room with a homemade breakfast daily! - The size of the family room was so perfect! My parents were very happy with their room. The gracious hospitality of the owner was over the top. She provided so many recommendations and was so flexible with us. She made my parents stay in Florence an amazing one. The icing on the cake was the home made breakfast in a cute courtyard. The owner made such yummy homemade breakfast items along with favorite breakfast items that Americans love (eggs and etc) Everything was perfect!
- Estelle (10/5): Come for the history, stay for the homemade breakfast baked goods! -
- Pearson (8/5): Delightful but itchy and beware of taxi rates - Location, location, location...our needs were mostly met within walking distance. Quite spacious room, overlooking the patio, with a great nightime view. We were pleasantly surprised on our first night by the view of the warm glow of the Duomo from our bedroom window. Very personable, welcoming, helpful, informative, and friendly manager!!! Quite spacious room overlooking the patio. Due to our schedule, we were only able to partake of the breakfast once, but were offered take out service option which we opted out of. The breakfast we did have on the premises offered a great variety of beverages and delicious choices of breakfast foods. The mosquitos in our room were highly unwelcome! We left the hotel with many mosquito bites on our faces and torsos, as well as mosquito blood on bedsheet. A type of repellent was plugged in beside the bed, but we found it made no difference whatsoever.
