Guest Reviews
- Simone (6/5): Lovely and clean, in a great location, limited in what it offered. - Location was great and Francesca was lovely It was quite minimal. With paper cups instead of glassware.
- Quaglia (7/5): -
- Xijia (7/5): -
- Conchi (8/5): - El lloc és perfecte i l'habitació confortable i correcta. Van deixar una cafetera amb capsules i algunes galetes per esmorzar i també xampú i sabo per la dutxa Desconeixiem que haviem de fer 3 trams d'escales molt pronunciades i en mal estat
- Camille (10/5): Un appartement très bien meublé pour profiter de Florence - La réactivité de Béatrice
- Edgar (10/5): Authentic, fabulous host and exceptional - The location was exceptional, short walk to everything. The room was fantastic, authentic and the host was great. If you have mobility issues you might find the stairs hard.
- Riley (8/5): -
- Danilo (10/5): Perfect stay! - Amazing and comfy!
Staff couldn’t be friendlier!
- ROSEMARY (8/5): - Location Stairs to room no lift
- Frédérique (8/5): - La localisation et la propreté Les escaliers sont très raides
Le prix est un peu cher
- Matteo (7/5): - Bagno spazioso e funzionale, cieco ma ben arieggiato. Sapone liquido comodo con i suoi barattoli grandi, carta igienica e phon a disposizione, asciugamani puliti. Stanza non moderna ma pulita, copriletto, coperte, armadi e frigo a disposizione. Ottimo il kit di benvenuto che abbiamo potuto utilizzare come colazione alla mattina successiva. Posizione top. Super la possibilità di tenere i bagagli dopo il check out in un’apposita stanza. Tre letti singoli sarebbero stati meglio rispetto a due letti singoli e una brandina. Per una notte ci può stare, dormire più di una notte sulla brandina diventa invece più complesso.
- Giacomo (10/5): - Posizione eccellente. Palazzo d'epoca. Pulizia. Cordialità. Semplicità di accesso. Qualità camera.
- wilhelm (8/5): Schöne ruhige Lage in der. Nähe von Santo Spirito - Sehr gute Lage in einem authentischen Viertel
- Angela (7/5): - Location, kettle.temperature, table and arm chair. A lot of stairs. Lift not obvious. TV only had one channel
- Trudel (10/5): -
- James (10/5): They made my days in Florence amazing and so easy to navigate around! - The hosts were so friendly and helpful! The location made it so easy to walk there from the train station, as well as walking to every thing and then being able to come back to my room for a quick nap. My room was so beautiful and they had treats and waters in the room for me.

- Felice (10/5): Soggiorno stupendo - E stato un soggiorno stupendo , ottima la posizione della struttura, ottima l'accoglienza e l'ospitalità della signora Francesca e dalla sua famiglia, mi sono sentito a casa , camera pulita e ben organizzata , riscaldamento sempre acceso molto importante visto il freddo che abbiamo incontrato... Grazie mille per l'ospitalità .
- enzifive (6/5): - La posizione Scalinata difficile da salire con valige impossibilità di regolare la temperatura del riscaldamento. Faceva molto caldo. Molto costoso rispetto all'offerta.
- Steve (10/5): Highly recommended, clean and quiet rooms, great hosts couldn’t have been any better! - The property was perfect! It was in a great location close to Piazza Santo Spirito but still very quiet. The room was very clean and included a coffee machine and coffee/snacks. Beatrice and Francesca were the best hosts. They even scheduled our early morning taxi. It was the perfect experience and we can’t wait to stay here again. Highly recommended! We will only stay here for our future trips to Firenze.

- Grigoris (8/5): -
- Filotas (4/5): - - The main area of the room was dirty. We stayed for 4 nights and the room was never cleaned. The linens had spots, like makeup or blood, as if they were not changed from the previous tenant.
Additionally, there was an elevator on the 1st floor, that could be used to skip a floor of steep stairs and carry your luggage, but we were never informed about it or the code needed to access it. We were only lucky enough to see another guest use it and had to ask about it.

- Maestri (9/5): -
- Matheus (10/5): Impecável - Minha estadia no B&B Beatrice foi perfeita. O quarto estava impecavelmente limpo, a cama muito confortável e a localização excelente, a poucos passos dos principais pontos turísticos da cidade. O atendimento foi o destaque: Franchesca foi extremamente atenciosa, deu ótimas dicas de restaurantes e ainda permitiu que deixássemos nossas mochilas, mesmo após o checkout. Recomendo sem hesitar e com certeza voltaremos!
- Alberto (9/5): Confortevole comodo e pulito - tutto niente
- Sarah (9/5): - Really clean room and super central location - you can reach anything in a minute and stay next to Palazzo Pitti. Frencesca was super nice and showed us everything in the room and grave a great recommendations for our stay. There is a steep stair case and the room is on the second floor. If you have a disability or have troubles walking up stairs, it might be difficult for you to reach the room.
- Elisabetta (8/5): -
- Fannou (9/5): - Bien placé, très propre, personnel agréable et chambre confortable. L'endroit idéal pour un séjour à Florence.
- Anne (10/5): - Hele fijne b&b, we werden heel aardig ontvangen, fijne kamer op een goeie locatie, vanuit hier is alles te lopen. Heel stil en fijn dat er een optie was voor twee losse bedden. Zeker aan te raden!
- Ian (9/5): Brilliant location and comfortable apartment… check on stairs and mobility - Pre visit communication clear and appropriate.
Location superb… easy walk into centre 10 minutes and only 20 minutes from Santa Maria Novella Station.
Apartment comfortable and had all needed for a short stay
Decent cafes and bars in immediate vicinity so no need to venture into centre of town if you don’t want to Steps to 2nd floor apartment steep… especially the last flight.
There is a lift from reception area from 2nd to 3 rd flight level but only available when reception, usually mornings.
We’re relatively active 70 year olds but a bit of a struggle… OK (manageable) with weekend bags but wouldn’t fancy it up or, especially, down with a large or heavy suitcase.
Not meant as a criticism but for anyone with mobility issues this may not be the place for you…great though it was
- Adriana (9/5): - The place was in an excellent location, across the bridge from most of the museums/Duomo area, while being in an area that felt slightly more local. There are great restaurant options just around the corner, as well as a famous rooftop bar and nice piazza. The staff has super helpful all the way and I think that this was excellent value. I would stay here again and recommend to friends.
- Jennifer (10/5): - The B&B was perfect! Great location, wonderful hosts and very comfortable.
- Christine (8/5): - A very convenient stay in a great location! Right around the corner from Santo Spirito and a less than 5 min walk from the Ponte Vecchio. The Oltarno district is the perfect location when staying on Florence!
- Vincent R (8/5): - Great communication and the welcome snacks were very much appreciated. Good sized shower.
- Lisa (4/5): - I chose the property based on description of being on one floor, as I recently had back surgery. In fact, my room was up 3 very steep stairs.
I did not receive instructions for after hours check in until the day after arrival, despite messages coming through from property about Time of arrival. I was able to call and be let in once I arrived. The location was very good and the room and small terrace where delightful, however “breakfast” was coffee machine I could not figure out and some wrapped cookies.
- Andrew (10/5): - Great location and experience. Beatrice and Francesca were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful with recommendations.
- maryjo (10/5): - Good location
Helpful staff
- Maria Louise (9/5): -
- Andy (8/5): -
- Liam (9/5): Comfortable, welcoming and would strongly recommend. - Amazing location and very comfortable bed! Staff recommendations for food were incredible and when I had questions they helped me right away. Not something bad but just be prepared to carry bags up a few sets of steep steps.
- Beat (8/5): -
- Christine (10/5): Excellent location, beautiful good size room, amazing location and wonderful owners! Highly recommended! - The owners are amazing! The rooms are plenty big, beautifully decorated, with a small refrigerator in the room, nice size towels, small coffee maker. It’s in a perfect location, and asking distance to everything. There are many steep stairs, but it’s Italy, so not much you can do about it.
- Bartel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dee (10/5): Wonderful stay in a perfect quiet location - We loved staying here, it was a fabulous location, super clean and the lady that runs it was so helpful and welcoming!! It was so clean and there is a lovely square directly behind the apartment which has some lovely restaurants and a bar with reasonably priced drinks much cheaper than in town. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Nothing
- Mericob (10/5): Exceptional - The room was quite big enough for 2 people. There was an open wardrobe which we liked using. The bathroom was updated and was very clean. The staff were very friendly. We enjoyed our time. The location was good.
- Gary (9/5): Excellent accommodation in central Florence - Spacious room with very comfortable bed.
Extremely quiet: our room was at the front of the building but we heard very little noise at night. This is a key factor for me when choosing holiday accommodation and Beatrice excelled in this respect.
Large walk-in shower with plentiful shampoo and shower gel.
Very friendly and helpful young lady at reception (Beatrice?) told us about the history of the building and organised a taxi to the airport for us.
Excellent location just across the river from central Florence. Santo Spirito is an interesting neighbourhood with a wide range of shops, cafes and places to eat. Not really a major issue for us but....
Breakfast was a selection of pre-packed cakes and cookies left in the room - pretty typical for many B&Bs in Italy. (Note - there is a kettle and coffee pod machine in the room and a mini fridge)
We went to a little cafe further along the street for breakfast.
- Michelle (8/5): Great Location! - The location was ideal, short walks to the main sights but away from the noise!! Found the area very safe! The bed was comfy and the air con was welcomed in the warm weather!
- Rumyana (10/5): Exceptional - The owners are very kind and responsive! Clean and comphortable room. The location is perfect to reach by foot the city center. It would be perfect if there was a mosquito net on the window, however this did not spoil our stay :)
- Alfred (8/5): A good choice for stay in Florence - The location and quietness when the windows were closed. You have to walk two stairs before you can take the elevator. Also, the reception only opened between 8 am and 1 pm, you may not be able get you stored luggage.
- הדס (10/5): Incredibly clean and comfortable! Perfect location. Highly recommended! - Wonderful location.
Comfortable and beautiful room. Very very clean! Lovely and friendly people who made sure we had everything we needed.
- Roger (10/5): The charming hosts welcomed us warmly and from then on we had a great time. We will stay again. - Location was perfect: close to the centre but peaceful at nighttime. We listened to a blackbird singing as the sun came up, with no traffic noise at all. Not applicable
- Laura (10/5): Perfetto - Perfect location and friendly and helpful staff
- Javier (10/5): - Really cute room and the ladies who run this place are super welcoming and accommodating! Great value and would be my choice of hotel when I come back to Firenze.
- Avignone (10/5): Exceptional - It was a beautiful room.. Vanessa was a doll...so kind and very informative...great personality and very accommodating to our needs. The location of the B & B was excellent and close to everything. Nice 15 min walk to the train station.... had a great time and would recommend to all my friends and family.
- Stephan (10/5): Excellent! - Excellent!
Very friendly reception. Everything better than expected
- Morrie (8/5): Beautiful Floretine stay - thank you :) - The lovely sisters, Francesca and Bea, were such a delight to work with. They helped with recommending restaurants and even offered to book the reservations. They also booked our taxi to airport. The location is perfect. Close to some many quaint restaurants and cute shops. The building is authentic- which I loved, and the stairs are a great workout :)
- Sagi (9/5): Superb -
- Lidiia (8/5): Very good -
- Olive (9/5): Superb - FAMILY run and they were so helpful and friendly Room was bright and very comfy bed..very central area with super restrauants .beside the river which is lovely at night There was nothing we didn.t like
- Ekaterina (10/5): Excellent location, very nice stuff, very clean - Location, very clean, little balcony, stuff 3 flights of very steep and long stairs to carry my suitcase up
- Lisa (10/5): Nice quiet stay in Florence - Good location away from main tourist area but close to many restaurants and shops. Easy walk to attractions. Room was comfy. The stairs!
- Jessica (8/5): Very good -
- Obayda (10/5): Excellent stay at B&Beatrice, we would definitely stay again - The location was fantastic, a great part of the city to stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. The room was clean and comfortable, I would definitely stay there again!
- Holly (8/5): Very good -
- Andrew (8/5): Very good -
- Sean (10/5): Excellent stay! 10/10 - Location was amazing, very clean, easy to find and right in the heart of Firenze, would certainly stay again if I returned! Towels in the bathroom were so soft and thick they were great! Fridge was brilliant in the room also great coffee machine. Memory foam pillows and mattress topper aren’t the most comfortable but nothing major
- Vittoria (10/5): Excellent experience! - Perfect location, spacious and super clean room Nothing
- Zuzana (10/5): Perfect location - The host is really kind and helpful. The location of the accommodation is great! You don’t need to use any form of public transport. We will be happy to come back.
- Jimmy (8/5): Nice comfortable room in a very central yet quiet location - The location was fantastic.
It was pretty quiet at night.
The check-in was easy thanks to clear instructions.
The bed was very comfortable.
The staff were polite and helpful.
The room was clean. The shower room was very small.
The aircon didn’t seem clean.
The stairs to the room were very steep and there were no lights at night.
There could have been more bathroom amenities (only shampoo and shower gel).
- Tina (8/5): Very good -
- Joshua (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lourdes (10/5): - Nice place
- Omar (8/5): Nice place and location - The location was perfect, 10 min walking distance to the main attractions. 3 min walk to the river .
The area is full of restaurants and bars.
There is a paid parking 3 min walking from the room. No elevator, if you have big luggage you need to prepare to climb the stairs to the 2nd floor.
- Andrew (9/5): Great communication, fabulous location. Would stay again. - Location. Cleanliness. Privacy. Nothing!
- Christine (10/5): Great location, great room, great place. - The owner is very nice. The room was a nice size, with small fridge in the room and private bathroom with shower inside the room. There’s a small safe in the room for money and passports. It’s in a great location and there’s a wonderful pizza place around the corner. There are some stairs, but that is to be expected in Italian buildings. There’s a lift to help with a flight of stairs.
- Dimitrios (10/5): Excellent apartment near ponte vecchio - Location, clean room, comfortable bed
- Bridget (9/5): Superb -
- Vahid_gh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kathleen (6/5): Pleasant - Comfortable, quiet room. Excellent restaurant recommendations. Particularly liked Tameró on piazza Santo Spirito. Reception not open when I took special care to arrive before its advertised closure at 13.00. I therefore had to drag my suitcase up the third, longest and steepest flight of stairs instead of having access to the lift hidden in the closed reception area.
Laughable "breakfast" consisting of a couple of packets of biscuits in the room and the worst coffee capsules ever. A pointless exercise given all the good cafes nearby
A warning to guests: staircase is old and beautiful and worn so watch for last step on the third flight: it slopes downwards (simply history, not a maintenance problem) and can easily make you lose your balance, especially as you're almost at the top and paying less attention'
- Cayla (9/5): Wonderful B&B! - Great location, wonderful staff, and a very cute room. The city and the building are old so it's not a modern Hilton Hotel but it was big, clean, and as up to date as could be allowed in this historic part of the city. Great value and we would definitely stay again!
- Carlos (6/5): Pleasant - Great location near Santo Spirito, a more local neighborhood across the river from the tourist center. Historic building with its charms. Surfaces were quite dusty when we arrived. Quite expensive for what you get. Very dated interiors.
