Guest Reviews
- Adriaan (10/5): - Very clean and well kept accommodations with an exceptional host! Breakfast was included and served to be had inside or in the garden. Very Nice small hotel.
- Samantha (10/5): - We had lovely stay. The area is close by to a lot of attractions and everything is walking distance. A lovely apartment and brilliant staff who went out of their way to show us the best places to visit. I would recommend.
- Elsa (10/5): Great a - The room was very comfortable, located in a quiet neighborhood, but at the same time very close, walking distance to the duomo, and all restaurants. Enjoyed my stay at Casa di Barbano.
- Olivia (10/5): - Amazing stay. Very clean, hosts were so nice, breakfast was awesome. Will be staying here again on my next visit to Florence!
- Alicia (6/5): 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.
- Aaron (10/5): - Excellent helpful host
- Gitaben (10/5): - Excellent stay. Clean, comfortable.
- Ciara (10/5): Lovely Gem near everything historical centro - This beautiful gem in the heart of Firenze is not to be missed. The owner and staff were polite and quite lovely to chat with. Amazing room and decor. Walking distance to museums and good food. 10/10 highly recommend.
- Jianyi (10/5): - The property top level is a little aged but comfortable and spacious. You have everything you need for cooking in kitchen. During our stay there were somethings unexpected happened in the facility and caused some inconvenience, but the owner was very friendly and tried very hard to solve the issues for us as quick as possible and provided generous discount.
- Maria (10/5): - Excelent!
- Donato (8/5): - It was quiet
- Ng Man (8/5): - Staff are very friendly. Location is good as it’s close to all popular attractions. Even if you are joining tours to Cinque Terre, Venice, the meetup point was just in 10mins. Many good food around 👍
- Amy (8/5): 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.
- Dimitry (10/5): - We loved our apartment on the 5th floor. Got a little exercise climbing to the fifth floor every day without the elevator, but we loved it. We loved the little garden area, staff was nice, apartment got cleaned every day. Overall it was a good experience.
- Krishna (10/5): - Nice ambience of the old stone building. Nice outdoor sitting area. Family friendly kitchen area. Clean bathrooms and best walkable location.
- Ariana (8/5): - Property was very unique and nice. The room was clean but I do think there was some mould within the building, which comes with an old building on the main floor! The owner was lovely and helpful, the room was quiet and had everything we needed!
- Mahdi (10/5): - A beautiful typical Florentine building, where the first floor has been transformed into a hotel. It exudes a lovely spirit and unique essence. The staff were friendly and great. I adore experiencing the authentic vibe of each place I visit, and this place provided me with a delightful experience
- Abigail (10/5): Highly recommend! - Really lovely B&B! The owner was nice, the beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was simple, but copious! Would highly recommend. 10-20 minute walk to all the major sites and very close to the train station.
- Linsey (10/5): Di Barbano - 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!
- Patryk (10/5): - 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.
- Pingping (10/5): - It's a relativity quiet place to stay, the owner was very helpful and nice, offered some useful tips for traveling in the city, we were happy and satisfied with our stay.
- Sarah (10/5): - I loved it. Lovely room, decent sized bathroom and a welcoming host.
- Dan (8/5): - Very nice stay. Wonderful host.
- Farhana (10/5): - This is a cute and spacious apartment at the top floor of the building. Despite there being no elevators to get to the apartment, we enjoyed our stay and our toddler liked the space to run around in. We would stay here again in the future.
- jeanine (10/5): - We were a family of five and we booked two rooms..fit us perfectly. We all enjoyed our morning breakfast in the courtyard and my animal loving daughters enjoyed the two cats and three turtles greeting them in the courtyard ech day. The rooms were clean and quiet and our host was so nice. We will definetly stay here agaiin.
- Agustin (10/5): - Anybody wanting to experience a true Italian lifestyle, and wanting to embrace the culture in Florence must come here. The service from the staff was outstanding, the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Overall, you walk in and feel welcome, the extremely kind owner and manager is always there in case you need anything. If you are thinking on staying here, do yourself a favor and do so!
- Romeo (10/5): - Maroq was absolutely a wonderful hostess! We stayed 6 nights and she was there to assist in any way possible. She provided continental breakfast daily, and offered advice on directions, places to visit, eateries, etc. As expected rooms are smaller, but very quiet and quaint with daily cleaning service. I highly recommend. We had an amazing experience here!
- Sian (10/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The best thing was that they have a lovely cat! All of staffs were friendly and willing to help every travellers like me :)
- Ian (10/5): Relax in bustling Florence - Very relaxing courtyard for breakfast. Very friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It was really nice the shower was just a little dirty, but other than that I would highly recommend this place
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 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?
- Allen (2/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The location was very good, the building old and charming, exactly what we expected when visiting Florence. The owner was very helpful and couldn't have been kinder. Overall an experience we would repeat.
- Lara (2/5): - There is no lift and we got apartment at very top every time has to climb around 78 steps Good thing is wifi is good Host is good And close to attractions
- Mark (8/5): 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.
- Eric (10/5): - Great friendly owner, clean and good suze room. Super near to everything . Recommend this to everyone.
- Amanda (10/5): Great stay! - Loved my stay. Owner was so accommodating! Room was quiet and comfy. Loved the common areas. Convenient to the train station. Nice breakfast.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - What a beautiful place! Staff was so helpful and welcoming and property was amazingly well kept. Great location too. We’d definitely go back and recommend to others.
- Sri (10/5): - Very friendly manager and the stay was overall excellent.
- Helen (8/5): - There was some traffic noise early in a morning - and workers leaving their scooters outside our bedroom window - chatting away - from around 630am. Room was adequate for our needs. Breakfast - Italian so all sweet things - but fresh and tasty.
- Anne (8/5): - I was not aware of having to climb 72 steps to our apartment. The ac did I not work the first night, but was fine the second night. The location was fine: we could easily walk there from the train station and there were several fine restaurants near by. We were warmly greeted.
- Ellen (6/5): - The room was nice but the TV didn’t work and my daughter never got breakfast.
- Anna (8/5): - Very nice room for a family of four. It was very comfortable and clean. The owner was very helpful. The only thing was that the room was at the very top and it was a lot of stairs to climb, no elevator.
- Sylvain (10/5): - Great place and location
- Suzanne (8/5): - All was great, unfortunately the terrace was unavailable during our stay due to unexpected work needing to be done. Location and attention, great.
- Cheryl (8/5): This B and B is very comfortable - We stayed in this B and B for 4 nights. For the price and location and convenience it was perfect for us. Florence is a Beautiful city and easy to navigate. The special Basilica of St Marco with the museum of the now empty monk cells attached is nearby and so lovely. Visit Fisole also!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice apartment with a super host. - The host was super healthful, the room was clean and spacious and it was in a great and quiet location. A little bit worn and old but a good spot to put your head down at night. Breakfast wasn’t anything special but filled the belly until lunch.
- Suzy (10/5): - Excellent location, close to central train station and central bus stop. Also 10 minutes walk from the Duomo and other Squares. Host is very good and informative. Room was quite big and spacious. Would stay again however would love to have a kettle in the room so that we could make tea/coffee specially when one has to leave early morning for site seeing.
- Shelly (10/5): - Wonderful stay. The owner is so helpful....makes you feel so at home and comfortable. Breakfast was served, fresh baked goods, yogurt, fruit, coffee, tea and juice. Lots of nice touches.....classy lady that runs the place. I would highly recommended, 15 min walk from train station or 10 euro taxi.
- Dili (10/5): - Casa di Barbano is a hidden gem. Located near train and central location makes it a good choice. the room was nice and spacious, bathroom newly renovated. Marque (the lady who runs it) is delightful. She has good accommodations for those with young children. Everything is on the ground floor. We had a very nice 3-day stay!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly staff, owner very helpful and polite, nice breakfast included.
- Sharon (10/5): Good reasonably priced hotel near the city centre. - Easy walking distance to main sites and very clean and roomy hotel. Great to find somewhere that caters for 3 adults sharing a room. Very good value and very helpful and friendly host.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great place to stay in Florence! - This hotel is in a great location - near enough to get to sites quickly, yet in a quiet neighborhood. Barbara, the hotelier, is friendly and accomodating. The room was spacious, quiet and nice. I would stay here again....
- Jie (10/5): 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.
- mike (8/5): - Great location, extremely hospitable and knowledgeable staff. Quiet and private .
- Jason (10/5): 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.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice b&b in a good location. Only criticism was the room heating was a bit unreliable, but otherwise our stay was fine. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.
- Benedict Dominic (10/5): - The place was quite homey. It’s close to the train station which was very convenient. The breakfast was typically Italian. It’s enough to get you by till lunch time. The rooms are quite nice and cozy. The pictures are pretty accurate. There only about three rooms which works well since you can expect the full attention and care of the hostess. I would consider this place again if ever I visit Firenze again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great hotel walking distance to centro. Parking and laundry facilities as well as a very nice breakfast. Would definitely come back to stay here
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location and wonderful host! - We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel with our 2 kids. The hostess was very pleasant and accommodating. We arrived late in the night (11 pm) and she was there to check us in. There are multiple units within the location and most were filled when we were there. 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. I stowed my bags after checking out as we had a late train in the evening. Will definitely recommend staying there
- Angela & Morag (10/5): 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.
- DANIEL (10/5): well enjoyed - Murak was a wonderful host. The room was bright and comfortable and the continental breakfest in the shaded courtyard was just right..
- Christopher (10/5): Pleasant stay at Moderno - A little difficult to find at first but only short distance from city centre. Very friendly welcome and comfortable room. Would definitely stay again.
- Felix (8/5): 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.
- Pam (2/5): 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.
- Teuta (8/5): - It's a very good bed & breakfast apartment. Location is perfect.
- Wendy (8/5): Great location - would stay there again! - This B&B is located near to the Fortezza da Basso, close to many restaurants and shopping, and walking distance to the Duomo, Uffizi, and all the attractions I wanted to visit (Ponte Vecchio, Accademia, etc.). Very friendly and helpful at check-in. She gave a great map of the city to help with orientation. Beautiful, spacious, clean, and modern room and bath. I enjoyed my stay very much.
- Amanda (10/5): Lovely service - They were very friendly and though the facilities were older, they were clean and maintained. Breakfast is light here; some warm but lovely croissants, fruit, coffee or tea, biscuits and juice. Shower is very small but again that's due to age. 7 minute walk from train station, 15 minute walk to most sights, with Pont Vecchio being the furthest attraction point at a 25 minute walk. I would stay here again!
- William (10/5): Well located, friendly B and B - Very friendly reception by our host created a great start..Clearly explained where to go to see the best attractions in town and eat at the moderate restaurants. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. Perfectly adequate to start off your day.
- Flora & Diego (10/5): Like a room from the Italy of my dreams!! - This hotel has a perfect location to any turist attraction, the owner was very kind to us since we arrive and the room was bigger than standards in Europe, so it was perfect for us!
- MR O (8/5): convenient and very clean. Breakfast very nice - The service was excellent
- Wong (8/5): Nice B&B near Florence railway station - Overall comfortable, clean and convenient. Moraq is friendly and helpful.
- Wai Leng (6/5): Nice and friendly - Staff were friendly and helpful. We were not too keen to have the room right next to the common breakfast area. Overall, the place was OK. We were just not prepared for the Bed and Breakfast style of accommodation and were expecting a normal hotel room. Room was not as good as advertised but outside garden area was pleasant.
- Karalee (10/5): Pleasant visit. - Owner was helpful with sights to see and ordering taxi.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely stay in a charming historic building. Friendly and helpful hostess, tasty breakfast, and convenient location (10-minute walk from the train station.) We had a comfortable, clean, spacious room with a beautiful new bathroom. We particularly enjoyed spending time in the quiet, charming courtyard away from the noise and crowds of Florence. The hostess was very helpful in recommending a pharmacy to get medication for my niece who was under the weather during our visit. Highly recommended!
- Pratyush (8/5): A Recommended Bed & Breakfast in Old Town Florence - Our stay at Casa Barbano was pleasant, comfortable, and overall enjoyable. The hostess was wonderful, responsive to our queries/needs, and friendly! We did not have any major issues overall.
- liz (8/5): Good place to stay when visiting Florence. - Very nice & helpful owner. Quiet location with easy access to main sites of Florence. Basic but adequate breakfast. Accommodation clean & tidy. Lots of stairs to get to some rooms so if mobility issues check room allocated.
- Neil (8/5): Cultural break - Pleasant, friendly owner who gave us lots of local information and sorted out bookings. Characterful property within easy walking distance of town centre, station and restaurants.
- dennis (10/5): 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!
- Pete (6/5): BB@B in F - Casa di Barbano is located a mile from the RR station and another mile from the Florence Historic Center; it's relatively easy to find. The area seems safe &quiet. A lady speaking good English appears to run everything, except cleaning; she owns the place.
- JoAnne (6/5): Small b&b that needs some TLC - Our room was a bit disappointing, but the building is well located.
- thomas (10/5): - Great place to stay in Florence Close to the station and easily walkable to all major spots. Very friendly
- Norm (8/5): - Lots of extra service. Room large. Close to many things. Watched over our luggage after we checked out.
- amanda (10/5): Excellent - Booked for last minute stay, wonderful. Will book again!
- nissim (2/5): - Not very good
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Stayed here with family in two rooms for two nights and enjoyed our stay very much. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Easy walking distance to the train station and not far from the historical sites. Our hostess was exceptional and would definitely stay there again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): great little place - Well located and quiet. Just a bit hard to find. you need to read the brass plaque beside the door as there is no big hotel sign.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Loved our stay! - We loved our stay at Casa di Barbano. The room was very spacious which was great after all the other cramped rooms we stayed in around Europe. The manager was very helpful in explaining what to see while in Florence and throughout our stay with breakfast etc. Would definitely stay here again.
- Rebecca (8/5): A nice quiet place - The stay was pleasant. Room was good. The location is a bit away from main shopping and dining area.
- Leslie (8/5): Clean with Character - A 10-15 minute walk from the train stn, we found Casa di Barbano easily using a map and it was well located for getting around Firenze. We liked the character of the place and high ceilings - it was very clean even tho a tad dated but overall we felt it was good value for the money, except that the breakfast was a little lacklustre (some packaged goods).
- Natalia (8/5): Calm and quiet. - This was a family trip and we chose a hotel close to the train station. The hotel is located on a ground floor of a building, and is very calm and quiet. The breakfast was nice (coffee, juice, croissant, bread and butter) and the staff was helpful giving us direction of where to walk around and eat. There are a few minimarkets in the area, but you had to walk a bit to find restaurants. The room as silent, clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay and had a good night sleep.
- Ginny (8/5): Location in Florence - This Bed and Breakfast is superbly located so that one can enjoy all the sights and easily walk home. It is very comfortable. Keep in mind that it is a very old building and the bathroom has been jerryrigged into the room. It is very small and the shower is miniscule. But that's what happens in a building this old. It is worth this small discomfort to have the authenticity of a building that relates to the age and history of Florence.
- Stephanie (8/5): - My husband and I had a great time. The owner was very helpful. She privided maps, directions and advice. Wonderful location and rooms.
- Andrew (10/5): Nice Hotel - Highly Recommended - My wife and I had two days here and enjoyed them both. Not the newest hotel but made up for with a great hostess, clean and comfortable rooms in a central location not far from the Florence sites. Breakfast was great each morning. All at a very reasonable price. Nothing to complain about at all and rated accordingly.
- Virginia (8/5): Warm welcome - We had previously been in a dump of a hotel so to change over to this it was exceptional. The greeting from the owner was so pleasant and welcoming. We had been travelling for 7 weeks and this was the best greeting we'd had. We were lucky enough to get the apartment on the top floor. ( not luck for the stairs) but the apartment felt very homey. If you are able to stay here you will be pleasantly surprised. Everything is walkable even from the train station SMN. Which is why we choose the location.
- Peter (10/5): Excellent B&B close to station. - My wife and I found the B&B very good value. It is close to Florence SMN station (beware of rolling cases over rough pavement part of the way there) , staff were friendly and very helpful and we felt safe in the area. This is a good B&B to use if you are travelling by train as we were.
- Lois (10/5): Fantastic Hotel - We stayed 4 nights at the hotel. The hotel was a medical clinic that has been converted into a hotel with all new walls, bathrooms and furnishings. The lady that ran the hotel was exceptionally helpful with restaurant recommendations and sightseeing ideas that weren't in the guidebooks. Breakfast consisted of a warm croissant and other breads and jams. Some days we also had yogurt and fruit. The breakfast is the only thing that could be improved. All in all a great spot to stay in Florence.
