Guest Reviews
- Isabella (8/5): -
- Daniela (8/5): - La location e posizione ottime l'host gentile e presente. Che non è stata pulita la camera il secondo giorno
- Gabriele (7/5): -
- Anna (7/5): Confortevole e accogliente - Consigliato. Stanza confortevole. Arredamento minimale ma funzionale. Acqua calda nella doccia. Letto comodissimo e ambiente caldo. L' host Simone è stato gentilissimo e disponibile ad ogni nostra richiesta. Torneremo sicuramente. L' unica pecca è la mancanza delle tapparelle davanti alla finestra. Potrebbe entrare un po' di luce. Per il resto tutto bene
- Davide (10/5): - Ottima posizione, a neanche 10 minuti a piedi da piazza del Duomo. Stanza molto spaziosa, bagno ok. Disponibilità da parte dell’host di lasciarci la stanza fino alle 13 per una doccia post maratona, cosa molto apprezzata e gradita. Presente una cucina in comune con le altre stanze per una colazione autonoma, oppure colazione compresa al bar che dista un minuto a piedi. Assolutamente consigliato!!!
- Alisia (10/5): -
- Miriam (7/5): Un giorno a Firenze - Ottima posizione vicino al centro ed alla stazione.zona tranquilla.
Camera confortevole, unica pecca essendo vicino a sala comune poco sonorizzata, per il resto nella norma
- Alina (10/5): -
- Black n White E (9/5): FIRENZE TOP - Tutto ok Poca insonorizzata
- Anna (5/5): -
- raul (5/5): - Posizione ottima e staff accogliente Bagno piccolissimo,doccia non proprio pulita, le finestre e il portone si affacciano direttamente sul corridoio in comune,non avendo cosi la possibilità di tenerle aperte per far girare l'aria, condizionatore molto rumoroso, pieno di zanzare
- Mangraviti (7/5): -
- Christophe (8/5): -
- Rena (10/5): -
- Pedro (6/5): -
- Niccolò (9/5): - Camera confortevole, letto comodo e spazioso. Ottima assistenza e il servizio colazione è top. Il phon non funziona
- Stepan (9/5): Все было отлично - Все очень понравилось. Теплый пол, есть отопление, если вдруг станет холодно, чисто, есть все необходимое, отличное месторасположение. Был завтрак в кафе на углу, круассан и кофе. Единственный минус- шланг в душе был поломан, мы попросили сделать, но наша просьба не была выполнена. Неудобно было купаться.
- Shannent Catalina Guevara (8/5): - La atención de la persona encargada fue muy buena. La ubicación es excelente. La limpieza es buena y las habitaciones son cómodas. Lo recomendaría En general estaba muy bien. Quizás lo difícil es que no pudimos tomar el desayuno porque no nos avisaron con anticipación la logística
- AYHAN (1/5): Booking güvenini yıtiriyor - Hiç beğenmedik Hiç kimseyi görmedik? Msj yazdık cevap verimedi, booking den yaptıgım bugüne
Kadrarki en kötü yer
Anlamadıgim booking bu yere nasıl 8.9 puan vermiş ayrıca üç yıldızlı otel olarak lanse edilen buradı sadece uzun koridorda 5 odası olan bir yer
Kahvaltı dahil olarak web sayfasında görüntülü sululan kahvaltı karşı caffe de bir kuruvasan be lahvslyı
Yatagın üzerine fiş bırakılmış onla gidiyorsunuz
Ben hiç ama hiçbir allahın kuluna rasladım
Bookıng den ricam bu tur yerleri bize sunarak bizlleri yanılmasın
Güven kalmıyor cünkü
- Meritxell (8/5): Correcte - Molt acollidor L’esmorzar al bar nab, escàs i el tracte del personal deixa molt que desitjar.
Se sentia un soroll d’aigua rajar durant tota la nit i no hem pogut dormir bé.
- Lara (10/5): Soggiorno a Firenze Top - Tutto perfetto, soprattutto la posizione e la totale e completa disponibilità del personale.
Super gentili e ospitali -
- Luigi (8/5): -
- BRULATTI (1/5): speravo di meglio - praticamente niente colazione non in struttura ma in un bar vicino a dispetto di quanto pattuito nella prenotazione. doveva chiamarsi solo bed
materassi sfondati
- emma (10/5): Tutto ottimo, consigliatissimo per soggiornare a Firenze, con anche la colazione inclusa un prezzo eccezionale!!  - Ottima posizione e l’host è molto disponibile! Abbiamo fatto il check-in all’orario che preferivamo Niente
- Michael (10/5): - Beautifully rustic rooms. Simone was very helpful. It was a great location!
- Carla (8/5): soggiorno veloce - La struttura e' parecchio datata ma e' in una buona posizione. A mio avviso ha un buon rapporto qualita'/prezzo.
- Paul (2/5): - Die Unterkunft war nicht in der Lage wie angekündigt Informationen und den Code für den Checkin zu senden. Ich habe mehrmals angerufen und Nachrichten gesndet, aber ich bekam keine Antwort. So musste ich in der Not ein anderes Hotel buchen - einfach ein Horror.
Vermutlich wollen sie noch Stornokosten kassieren
- Michelle (10/5): - Great location and little
Bonus to have continental breakfast included
- Azadeh (8/5): - Everything about this place was good except for the internet. To get a stable connection, you had to sit in the kitchen or go outside your room, which was a bit inconvenient.
One thing to note: hotels in Italy typically do not provide hair conditioner. They usually only offer two small bottles of shampoo and two very small bars of soap, so be sure to bring your own hair products.
- GEORGINA (4/5): - They said they breakfast is included not true, I saw the guy the last day, the internet is terrible not a nice place to stay.
- Rachel (4/5): - Our stay at Cosy House in Florence was disappointing and did not reflect the glowing reviews or awards listed in the property description. The 5-star rating and “best hotel” booking awards are from over five years ago and unfortunately do not represent the current condition of the rooms.
While the room appeared clean at first glance, there were several issues that affected our experience. The towel warmer and hair dryer didn’t work. The Wi-Fi signal didn’t reach the rooms, which was inconvenient. The garden, which was advertised as a nice feature, was completely overgrown and unusable. The curtains were dusty, the floors hadn’t been properly cleaned, and the bathroom showed visible signs of mold.
We were really looking forward to our time in Florence, but the condition of the space made it difficult to relax and enjoy the stay. I hope the host updates the listing to better reflect the reality of the accommodation and addresses these issues for future guests.
- Frantz (6/5): - Bien situé, mais pas de stationnement. Il y a un stationnement public pas loin, mais au prix de 30 eur/jr.
- giovanna (8/5): - Consigliatissimo vicino a tutto
- Annarita (6/5): - Abbiamo soggiornato per una notte. La stanza aveva tutti i comfort necessari: un letto e cuscini comodi, una scrivania con tv, un salottino, doccia, phon, minifrigo. Consiglieremmo una maggiore attenzione alla pulizia degli oggetti accessori (come la lampada un po' impolverata). Ma in linea generale è stata un'esperienza positiva con la simpatia e la gentilezza del proprietario. La colazione in un bar a pochi metri è stata con una bevanda calda e una brioche buone.
- GÖZDE PINAR (10/5): - Lokasyon olarak cok guzel bir yer cevredeki yerlerlere yuruyerek kolayca ulasilabilir. Calisanlarda oldukca iyi.Fakat duvarlar cok ince oldugu icin diger odalardan ses gelebiliyor. Binada bulunan su tesisati da oldukca sesli.
- William (6/5): - Old pipes meant the toilet wasn’t able to tolerate any paper. This caused some difficulties. Although a great location we’d consider another place to stay in future due to this.
- Deserie A (8/5): Great Customer Service - Simone was great to help us get the check in information. It was nice working with her. The room did not receive free Wi-Fi as advertised. We had to go outside for service. It would have been nice to have air conditioning. Overall the stay was good!
- Salvador (2/5): - Trataron de abrirnos la habitación a las 12 de la noche y le dijimos a la administración y solo nos dijo que lo platicaría con el dueño. Fue una estancia terrible
- Graham Thomas (10/5): - Great staff, very welcoming. Owner excellent and responsive. Good location. Easy walking to city centre and transport links. Shower space would benefit from decoration. Would go back.
- Annick (10/5): - Cosy
- Yuly (10/5): - Really nice property, staff and good location 😃
- yanxiang (8/5): - Location is good
Love the court yard
- Annika (10/5): - This was an absolutely delightful place to stay during our time in Florence. We loved the spacious rooms, the location, and the beautiful backyard space where we ate apricots on our final morning. Simone is super helpful, and I appreciated everything about this place. The only thing that could be improved is the Wi-Fi, which only worked at random times and not really in our room. But we weren’t in Florence to stay in our room, so it gave us a great motivation to get out and explore the city!
- Carmen (6/5): Friendly owner but the rest needs work - When we arrived at the check-in time listed on Hotels.com, no one was there. A phone number was listed but we didn’t have international calling. My internet was acting up so my husband went in search of a pay phone and it took about 30 minutes for us to get in, which was frustrating on a hot day. They had messaged us that morning asking when we were arriving but I didn’t see the email until later. However, Simone was very pleasant to deal with and an accommodating host. A few other issues: we ran out of toilet paper as no one replenished the stock during our stay and we had to search the entire area to finally find some in the kitchen, there was a bad sewer smell in the bathroom and the sheets had a nasty stain when we arrived.
- Nicole (8/5): - Prima ruime kamer, heel dichtbij alle bezienswaardigheden. Op loopafstand van tram van en naar vliegveld (T2,Unite) en bij het centraal station.
- Francisco (10/5): Florencia sorprendente - Muy acogedor
- Stewart (6/5): Cosy House, Florence… very ordinary! - The guest house was very average. We had a broken toilet seat which was not repaired despite repeated promises. Landlord only present early morning and offered little help
- Nasar (8/5): - - Average
The bathroom floor was in bad condition and had a leak. I used a towel on the floor; otherwise, one cannot walk. Also, the shower door needs a fix. The window needs a curtain. The window is low, so it has a clear view from the outside.
The rooms were clean, and the condition was good.
The location is perfect, close to most attractions, with excellent restaurants/ food and needs.
Outside, the room has a small yard which was perfect for having tea/coffee
- PAULINA (10/5): - Muy atentos, buen servicio, lugar limpio y acogedor
- mariamC9265LC (8/5): Central location. - Great location for visiting Florence, everything is within walking distance. The breakfast was nice. The owner was friendly. The place could do with some basic maintenence to push it up to being excellent on my review.
- allwissend (4/5): Not a clean hotel - Location and room size ok. BUT Room was full of spider web, did not cleaned. Mosquitos and their dirt on the walls. Very very noisy room2 from 7:30am since next to kitchen. Breakfast is low quality, nothing is fresh, all supermarket products. Even no good coffee. Shower cabin was leaking to floor, so we wanted two floor towels next day, they left no towel. Worst italian hotel i have stayed so far.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Er liegt in zentrum und Kann man zu Fuß überall gehen
- Loredana (10/5): Soggiorno alla Cozy House - Il nostro soggiorno alla Cozy House è stato veramente piacevole. Abbiamo avuto un'ottima accoglienza e la nostra ospite si è dimostrata disponibile a soddisfare le nostre esigenze come quella di poter lasciare i bagagli fino al tardo pomeriggio. La stanza era pulita e confortevole e vi abbiamo trovato anche the e panettoncino di benvenuto. La prima colazione era decisamente ricca, con cibi dolci, salati e dietetici per soddisfare ogni tipo di esigenza. Inoltre, la struttura si trova in una posizione strategica, 10/15' a piedi dalla stazione di S. Maria Novella e altrettanti per raggiungere il centro della città e, nei dintorni, ci sono numerosi ristoranti e bar x chi si vuole rilassare lontano dalla "folla" dei luoghi più frequentati dai turisti! Consiglio vivamente questo B&B
- Vivienne (10/5): Cosy house - Arrived later than it was open so made a call to martine who told us the code for the front door. Our room had the keys in the lock outside and we were able to go in. The room was very clean and tidy with everything that we needed. The breakfast was one of the best continental breakfasts we have had and martine was there to cook scrambled eggs for us and toast as well. There was a large selection of meat, cereals, cakes yoghurt and fruit as well as juice and coffee. All in all a very nice stay in Florence. It was close to the station and all Florence has to offer. We would thoroughly recommend this small boutique type b and b. Martine is a lovely young lady and nothing was too much trouble. The garden although small was somewhere to relax in with a glass of wine.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice and quiet apartment at a great location - We had a nice experience at Cosy house. It’s a beautiful and quiet place (we had an apartment at the back). All highlights in Florence are at walking distance and there are a lot of good restaurants nearby. The rooms are well equipped. The sanitair is a bit dated and you can hear the neighbours quite well, but still we defenitely recommend Cosy house.
- Gerardo (10/5): - ESTÁ CERCA DE TODO LO IMPORTANTE Y MARTINA, LA ANFITRIONA, ES UNA PERSONA EXTRAORDINARIA, AMABLE Y SERVICIAL. QUEDÉ ENCANTADO CON COSY HOUSE.
- V (8/5): - B&B di buon livello. Vicino al centro. Consigliato per l'accoglienza cordiale ed efficiente. Non di lusso ma ottimo per famiglie e per soste brevi di visita alla città. Colazione abbondante e varia. Ci torneremo volentieri in futuro.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Kleine rustige " Cosy" B&B - ondanks de drukte van de stad kan je hier zeer rustig slapen omdat de kamers naar een binnenplaats/tuintje gericht zijn. Wij hadden een 3 persoonskamer met extra bed en deze bleek opgesplitst te zijn in 2 kamers, zodat wij apart sliepen van onze tienerdochter , wat voor voor beide partijen aangenamer is .
- eliane cristina (10/5): Gostamos muito, atmosfera deliciciosa - Gostamos muito, a atmosfera é deliciosa e próximo ao centro.
- Ash (8/5): Good B&B - great location - but no hot water - Stayed only for a night. The room was large and the location was convenient for everything.
The breakfast was decent and the host was pleasing.
Only downside was that there was no hot water. We did not raise it as we were in a hurry to catch a train and had to check out but I could see others arguing in the reception over it.
Apart from that it was a good one night stay.
- Avital (2/5): Bad bad experience, no hot water no a/c in - Didn't have hot water and one A/C is now working. When i showed the staff she tried to convince me that the water is working but it still didn't. The owner blamed me on the phone
- Verified traveler (10/5): - La posizione di questo alloggio è strategica, vicino al centro e alla stazione. La nostra camera era molto pulita, piena di servizi come macchina del caffè, 2 televisioni e giardinetto interno.
Colazione in una bella stanza, abbondante e ricca.
Monica e Martina sono state molto disponibili e cordiali durante il nostro breve soggiorno.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent!!! - Cozy, and beatiful, we had a great time!!!!
- M (8/5): Good location - Very good location to close by all historic area and restaurant. The only downside was that I could hear snoring from the next room.
- Tara (8/5): Nice spacious hotel close walk to everything - The only word of caution I would give is, if you are not an early riser make sure to request a room other then 1 or 2, they are on either side of the breakfast area and it can get very loud. The hotel and convenience to everything is the best part of the stay, along with the kindness of the staff!
- George (10/5): Nice hotel in central location, highly recommended - We have a very nice family holiday for a week in Florence, we enjoyed our stay in Cosy House very much.
- Bonny (10/5): Comfortable - It was scary at first because there was a note on the outside door saying Cozy House. But after calling the number the manager had us punch in the code to the hallway to the room. It was not fancy but clean and comfortable. It was close to many places and was fine.
- Roy (6/5): - I cannot see how Cosy House got a such high rating. It is basically a B&B charging 4star prices. The relaxing garden needed mowing and some rubbish tidying up. We could not contact anyone when we had a problem (no toilet paper). It was solved next morning when we asked for some. We had to check out early and got black looks from the lady getting breakfast ready for taking a couple of croissants.Would not hurry back there.
- kat (10/5): Fantastic! - I love it there. Would go back in a heartbeat. Great people, great design.
- 214izzied (8/5): Really lovely B&B! - We stayed here for 4 nights in May and thought it was great.
Pros: The room is lovely, a great size and very comfortable. The bathroom was very clean and the shower was powerful which we were pleasantly surprised by! The garden is beautiful and was fab to sit and chill in the sunshine. The location was brilliant as we were a short walk from the main sites, and the area surrounding had some really lovely little bars, cafes and restaurants. Just around the corner was a restaurant called Fuoco Matto which I highly recommend if you stay here! There was also a lot of freedom and we felt secure as there is a code to get in the front door, so you can come and go as you please. Martina was also lovely when we met her briefly.
Cons: Not really any! When we wanted to check-in there was no one around, but this was ok as we just popped to the bar at the top of the street and waited for half an hour and called Martina. She then gave use the door code and our room number so we could get in. We were in room 2 which was lovely but is right next to the kitchen area where people have breakfast/check out so was sometimes loud in the mornings. The only other issue we had was that the WiFi wasn't working during our stay. Martina explained this was because they were switching providers so of course this wasn't her fault, and didn't become much of an issue as most of the cafes/bars in Florence have free WiFi anyway. This then meant we couldn't pay by card for our room, but Martina was very apologetic and helpful and said she would simply take the payment once the internet was fixed, as we booked through Booking.com.
Overall a really lovely B&B in a great location, and good value in comparison to other places around Florence. Would recommend!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Close to attractions, but not comfortable stay. - Pros: The location is nice. The room was large and clean.
Cons: Wifi did not work for the whole stay. The heater cannot be controlled by guests.
- arlenelim (6/5): A warm Cottage in Florence/ Best location for the price! - Love the room, huge and private cottage ambience. Bathroom is great, neat and clean. The hallway smells lavender. Breakfast is very simple, something to start your day.There is a electric water pot inside the room, you may bring your own tea or Instant coffee. The house is 15 mins walk to Duomo Piazza- Everything happens and start there . In short you cAn visit everything in Florence by just walking from the house.
CONS : 1. Be sure to email the owner/manager or watch for her email to get the code number to enter their gate. Or else you will be like us who waited for more than 30 mins in the rain. Martina said she emailed me the code but I checked I didn't receive any.
2. The house is old, and so you will hear every step in the ceiling . We are very tired to be even bothered by the noise, we still had good nights sleep.
3. If you get room #1 chances are you will have the same experience. You will hear the people conversation passing by on the street. But again, we were too tired to be affected by that .
- danfamhar (8/5): Martine is very helpful - Cosy house is not too far from the train station. The road and footpaths are rough on the wheels of your luggage however, we had ours jam up and wear out. FYI. It is a little difficult to find if you don't have gps on your phone as it is just a door with a buzzer. Martine was very welcoming even when we got there a couple of hours earlier and she took us straight to our room. She went down the street and bought some milk and coffee pods for me to use in the machine when I asked. The walls are very thin in the rooms as we heard the neighbours in the next room talking clearly and also the tv and then snoring all night. This is the only negative. The rooms clean, reasonably big for the two of us and breakfast was adequate.
- Amy (10/5): A real cosy house - Old but cosy place to stay. Convenient location. Beds are comfortable. Our family of three were there for three nights and we enjoyed it. Our room was very clean. The complimentary breakfast had good choice of food. The manager Martino is very warm and helpful. We will stay here again if we come to Florence the next time.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Decent stay - Pros:
-spacious room
-spacious bathroom with a great, high pressure shower
-great location (15 minute walk to main Florence area with attractions); lots of restaurants and wine bars near by
-close walk to train station
-includes a simple and filling breakfast
Cons:
-no WiFi (we were told that the wifi was not working when we arrived; when we asked the host when it will be fixed, she said that she didn't know)
-host not very hospitable (she was not rude by any means, but just not talkative and did not offer any information or help)
We chose this B&B based on the reviews that it was "loved by guests". It was just surprising that the host was not very personable or tried in any way to make our stay more homey. The WiFi problem was a bit annoying too. Maybe because it's low season, she didn't feel the need to be a courteous host? Other than that, it was a decent 3 night stay but you can probably find something for that price point.

- Carlos (8/5): Great little gem away from the busy streets. - Quiet area removed from the busy streets....yet close enough to main tourist attractions (within walking distance). Breakfast is basic but good enough to get you started. Shower pressure and temperature was good.....drain was slow in room 4.
Great service by staff. Friendly. Would recommend.....and rebook.
- Carol (10/5): Best location - Very clean, very quiet. We only had breakfast there one day. You need to let Martina know if you are going to have breakfast and it is 6 euros per person.
This is the perfect location if you are planning to see the major attractions in Florence. You can walk everywhere. Train station is only a ten minute walk.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Still need more on cleanliness - It is cute place to stay on nice but need more cleanliness
- Genevive (8/5): Good value for money - We have a great time
- rachel (10/5): A must stay while in Florence - This is a very cute BnB. It was a 5 minute walk from the train station and about a 10 minute walk to the Duomo. Our host was so lovely. She spoke English and gave us a map and make places to see. The breakfast was a big spread all all types of food and drinks. Our room was very shabby-chic style, big and comfy. There is a mini-frig and air-conditioning. Plenty of amenities. I would highly recommend staying here.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Close to the David, the museums and iconic sites. - We would stay here again if we ever come back to Florence.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - After copying our passports, the staff just left them on desk without any covers. The room is clean and next to a central market. However, it is around 20 minutes walking to other famous places, not really a good position for summer. Keeping walking outside over 30 minutes is really hot and tired in the trip.
- CaliLove71 (10/5): Very warm and comfortable- Shabby-Chic - Cosy House is about a 5-7 minute walk from the train station and about a 10 minute walk to the Duomo. The owner and host is lovely! She is very knowledgable and helped map out how to get to all of the places we wanted to see as well as to recommend local restaurants. Our room was white Shabby-Chic style- very comfy. There was air conditioning, a mini fridge and well stocked bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the shower had good pressure. There was a large variety of foods for breakfast- something for everyone and juice and coffee too. We had a wonderful time in Florence and if we are lucky to come back, would definitely stay here again!
- Andrew (10/5): Perfect stay - Perfect stop over with friendly helpful staff in quiet location with a few minutes walk to all attractions
- Lindacs61 (10/5): Fabulous - We stayed here for 3 nights and it was fantastic! Quiet, great sized and decorated room with a comfortable bed and pillows. Nice little ensuite. Lovely entrance, courtyard sidewalk and a little garden at the back smelling beautifully of jasmine. Anna looked after us and served a nice little breakfast. As there are only 5 rooms the breakfast choice is small but plenty. Access to a kettle for hot drinks when we wanted. Wifi was OK no different to anywhere else in Italy. It just felt comfortable.
- BeamMeUp_Melb (10/5): Highly recommended - Cosy House is a comfortable walk from the central train station and the Duomo area. A good choice if you are ok with this location, it's a bit of a walk to the river and Ponte Vecchio. The area felt safe with a lot of local foot traffic. We stayed in room 5 as a couple but it was able to sleep 3, it was spacious, clean and comfortable. The room even had coffee making facilities which we have rarely come across in Europe in the mid range accommodation, there was a kettle as well as a coffee pod machine!! a big plus. Breakfast was served in a kitchen area near the front and the food provided was plentiful and a good variety with plenty of encouragement from our host if we wanted more to ask or feel free to help ourself. Advice on sights was great too with great local knowledge and honest helpful information. We were made to feel at home and very comfortable. It is a short walk to the central markets where there is shopping and lots of restaurant choices or there were nearby restaurants to choose from as well. Room 5 was the last of the rooms and most away from the street and only 1 room beside it so potential quieter, you could consider requesting this. I highly recommend Cozy House.
- Greg (8/5): Excellent base for exploring Florence - Very nice place to stay. We had plenty of space in the room and it was a good location, easy to get to the centre of Florence and to all the key sites. Very happy with our stay
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice and clean but a bit noisy hotel. Is greatly located

- Lonnie (10/5): Really Nice "Home" Near the Sights - We did have some confusion on the location. The house numbers stopped and then started on another block in a strange way, but we eventually found it. Wife loved the white country chic decor with chandelier, bright lighting throughout, chest of drawers in and bathroom and extra lighting over sink. Bathroom fan a big plus. Easy walking to restaurants, shopping, sights. Nice breakfast choices. Luggage rack. Had a safe, but it was not bolted down. Room #1 is convenient but there is some road noise. No full length mirror or soap dish.
- Fatamara (10/5): Great stay - Stayed three nights at this B&B at the beginning of november.
The location was excellent, at a five minute walk from all the main attractions but at a very quiet location. Rooms were excellent and the service at breakfast a charm.
I would definitely book again.
- J3418ZMandrewd (10/5): Superb! - We had a wonderful time at this lovely guest house! The room was clean and quiet with free WiFi and we were looked after by our very helpful host who knew everything about Florence and spoke excellent English which is quite rare in Italy!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Four days in Florence - We stayed 4 nights at this great bed and breakfast. It's location suited us well with an easy walk into the city centre.
- 853mariannag (10/5): Always a pleasure to be back! - I first stayed at the Franchi Residence last year and absolutely adored it. Clean, comfortable and relaxed. Simone manages the place with warmth, thoughtfulness and assurance. I'm staying there now and will be back again. Very central location, btw.
- 2012Apollo13 (10/5): Like your own apartment - This was by far our best experience in accommodations in Italy. It was like our own little apartment. We did not get a room with a kitchen but they are available. Spacious and clean, with good wifi, which is hard to find in Italy. Simona was extremely helpful and treated us like family. Although a couple of blocks away from the centre of Florence, everything was walking distance and easy to find your way around (after the first day at least). I would recommend this place to anyone, especially if you are a little budget conscious as it is not expensive.
- Joey_Shen (10/5): nice hotel and helpful Simona - Simona gave us maps and advices on touring, and she is always willing to answer any questions. She also helped to make a dinner reservation and to take care of our luggages. The room is traditional and well-decorated, and the small garden is also very lovely. Although it is outside the old town area, it is quite close. There are many restaurants nearby as well.
- Knitewriters (10/5): Charming, beautiful. immaculate! - A beautiful place, once a monastery, now our most pleasant stay during our European tour. Excellent location, quiet, immaculate, and your host is extremely pleasant. A very relaxing place, flowers in the windows, a nice patio in the back. From the noisy streets of Florence, you enter into secure, peaceful quiet surroundings. Great price! Highly recommended
- karenpD9341QF (6/5): Good value for your money - This place is older, but it was decently clean. Room 3 was spacious and had a kitchen (we didnt need or use, but it is there). The bathroom was in-suite. The bed was comfortable. A basic place for a basic price if that is what you are looking for.
