Accueil chaleureux.
Super recommandations de restaurants.
- Sara (8/5): This is a great location in an 800 yr. Old building. Close to both sides of the river. - Riccardo was extremely hospitable, as was Ronny(?), who filled in for him on Sunday. Location was excellent and breakfast was great! Room was narrow, with little space for clothing that didn’t belong on hangars.
- Stefania (10/5): Il titolare è molto accogliente e da molte indicazioni circa il soggiorno - In particolare pulizia e collocazione Direi nulla
- maria grazia (10/5): Soggiorno a Firenze - Tutto perfetto! Colazione eccellente e Riccardo ha accontentato pure le mie richieste... Ambiente confortevole e molto pulito. Posizione Top! Consigliatissimo.

- Elaine (10/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Great location, great price, great staff! - The room is located very centrally and a short walk to the city centre. The staff are amazing! Breakfast was awesome! The room was very clean and comfortable.
- Shauro (9/5): Good memories - Everything was great ! I left early and came back late , but you can always make tea or coffee in the kitchen and there were fresh pastries on the table .Thank you for that ! I liked everything
- Melina (9/5): Ti senti a casa di amici - Posizione cortesia servizi
- Beata (9/5): Atmosfera i gościnność jaką organizują właściciele jest wyjątkowa ♥️ - Lokalizacja świetna i przemiła atmosfera Do mieszkania prowadziły strome schody i nie było rundy.
- Lars Peter Visti (9/5): -
- Ida Giulia (10/5): - La colazione era molto buona, con scelta tra dolce e salato e cibi tipici della tradizione.
In loco abbiamo trovato personale molto cordiale e preparato che ci ha anche fornito una guida collegata Maps con percorsi panoramici, attrazioni storiche, artistiche e culturali, bar, ristoranti e molto altro.
- Garza (10/5): I had the best experience, I’m a young female who was solo traveling and they made sure that I felt comfortable and safe - The property was extremely charming, very conveniently located so I could return any time of day if I needed to drop things off or grab something I had forgotten, and was very cozy! The room was spacious, the bathroom was spacious, everything was clean and comfortable! It’s a wonderful space. Nothing! I loved all of it.
- Sylke (9/5): Super sympathisch in perfekter Lage. - Das B&B hat eine hervorragende Lage. Unser Host Ricardo war außergewöhnlich hilfreich.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
- Christene (10/5): Hidden Gem - This B&B is a gem of a find. Location is perfect with the ability to walk anywhere in no more than 20 minutes usually. There is a grocery store across the street if you want snacks or drinks.
The hosts are top notch and make you feel that you are at your own home. Comfortable rooms, super clean, simple check in with thought and care to all details. Richardo is available easily via WhatsApp anytime if you want and he has maps and QR codes to make it all seamless.
Breakfast was the best with lots of selection of pastries, cereal, yogurt, tea, coffee (fancy ones too) but for me, it was the availability of gluten free croissants, bun and jam filled cookies. Restaurant tips for where the locals go and I appreciated the celiac restaurant map too.
This is your must stay place if you can get it when staying in Florence. Thank you both!! Perfect introduction to Italy! The stairs to the entrance to the B&B. Happier when we found the lights and was very appreciative that Richardo carried the luggage up and down to and the entrance.
- Elena (10/5): Such a friendly, clean, and special place to stay! - The owners were so friendly and sweet. Ricky was thorough in showing us things to do and places to eat on his paper map. Such a lovely place to stay while in Florence. I would absolutely recommend them. I didn’t like that I had to leave! I could have lived there. I liked everything at B&B La Casa dei Tintori!
- Gary (10/5): From the moment we arrived to the moment we left our family was treated like family by the owner. - The location. The classic look and feel. The breakfast and most importantly the owner. There was nothing wrong with this place at all.
- Alessandro (8/5): -
- olivier (10/5): J'ai beaucoup aimé ce séjour et si la vie le permet je reviendrai l'année prochaine. - La situation est parfaite à côté de Santa Crocce et donc pas très loin du marché San Ambroggio vous pourrez ainsi aller y manger, l'endroit est encore fréquenté par les Florentins il y a moins de touristes. Je tiens à remercier Lavinia et Riccardo pour leur Gentillesse.J'ai beaucoup aimé le petit déjeuner pour lequel j'étais toujours le dernier j'ai ainsi pu améliorer mon Italien. Au final l'endroit est vrai, typiquement Florentin, il est heureux que dans un monde standardisé des jeunes se battent pour faire perdurer leur tradition.
- Concetta (10/5): Una dolce coccola - Tutto meraviglioso, dall'accoglienza sino all'arrivederci il proprietario Riccardo ci ha guidati in questa vacanza a Firenze con consigli sul volto culturale di Firenze ma anche sul sembiante culinario è stato come sentirsi a casa , anche al risveglio una dolcissima e ricca colazione grazie ancora a Riccardo, alla sua simpatia ed alla sua dolce compagna Lavinia
- Marie France (10/5): - Está muh bien ubicado, a 5 min. de la galería Uffici y cerca de todo lo que se quiere ver e Florencia. Está atendido por sus dueños, que fueron muy amables. La habitación era cómoda.
- Caterina (10/5): If hospitality had a face: this is it ! - Perfect place to be when you vistit the most beautiful city in the world

- Zena (10/5): We had a lovely short stay here, would recommend for your visit to Florence. We hope to return here later in the year, s - It was a very nice family run B and B. It is situated in a good place, everything is nearby.
Riccardo and Lavinia are a lovely couple who work hard to make sure you have everything you need. Breakfast is good with plenty of choice. Nothing
- Andrea (10/5): -
- Carolyn (10/5): Great location, exceptional service. Trust their restaurant recommendations! - The breakfast was a lovely start to the day. Great cappuccino in particular!
- Barbara (9/5): Enjoyable stay at perfect location - The host couple were friendly and very helpful. The location was perfect, walking
distance to everything. The building is older; however our bed was comfortable and we had had everything we needed. The breakfast was satisfying. We enjoyed the fresh bakery items.
- Fred (10/5): Perfect oasis in vibrant fabulous Florence. - Breakfast was delicious! A variety of pastries, yogurt, bread, fruit, juice and cappuccino.
A beautiful, quiet oasis in the heart of Florence. We walked to Uffizi, Accademia, Ponte Vecchio...everywhere.
The owners were tremendously helpful. Perfect as is.
- Larry (9/5): They were friendly hosts! - The breakfast was great! The owners went out of their way to make sure you had what you needed! They made fresh coffee & made sure we had juice as well as other breakfast foods! They also were cordial & friendly to their guests! We can’t think of anything in particular we didn’t like!
- Vivek (10/5): -
- david roimy (8/5): - Staff very kind and helpful, kozi room Elementary and have to make restrictions
- Carla (10/5): - Gentilezza e disponibilità dei proprietari. Ottima biancheria letti e bagno e ricca prima colazione. Il servizio è rimasto ottimo come 5 anni fa.
- Mara (9/5): -
- Petra (9/5): - Die freundliche Gastgeber, das kuschelig warme Zimmer und die Möglichkeit sich jeder Zeit einen Kaffee oder Tee zuzubereiten können. Da fällt mir gar nichts ein
- Roberta (10/5): - Accoglienza, posizione Niente
- valentina (10/5): - Ottima cazione
Posizione eccellente Nulla
- Paul N (10/5): Nice cozy Firenze - Loved Ricardo! Super helpful and friendly hosts. Could have used some more hot water. But, it's a really neat old building.
- Donatello (7/5): - La vicinanza al centro storico
- Martin (10/5): Five days in Firenze! - Location, service, staff, everything was exceptional.
- Anthony (10/5): A home away from home. A characterful base with Riccardo and Lavinia - Lovely…all I needed with great care from Riccardo and Lavinia.
- Ilona (10/5): Cosy, central, perfect for a few days in Florence - Beautiful and centrally-located historic building. Minutes from everything you’d want to visit but the street was very quiet. Riccardo was an excellent host and recommended some great restaurants, bars and things to see. When our flight home was cancelled at the last minute he saved us! A brilliant stay, despite travel chaos.
- Arbelet (10/5): Une adresse que je recommande tout à fait et où je reviendrai. - Excellente localisation. Chambre décorée avec goût. Très calme. Petit-déjeuner délicieux. Accueil très sympathique et attentionné. Rien.
- Pierre (10/5): Perle rare! - B&B idéalement situé au centre de la ville mais néanmoins au calme. Hôtes d’une gentillesse remarquable. Succulents petits-déjeuners. Excellent rapport qualité prix. On y retournera certainement! Nous étions quatre et avions réservé deux chambres. Tout était parfait dans la chambre jaune, mais des bruits de tuyauterie (chauffage) pouvaient troubler le sommeil la nuit dans la chambre bleue. Néanmoins, notre hôte a rapidement fait le nécessaire pour que ces bruits soient atténués. Voilà bien le genre de revers qu’il faut savoir accepter dans un bâtiment ancien…
- Tatjana (10/5): -
- Luca (10/5): Ottimo soggiorno in centro - Siamo stati benissimo, proprietari gentilissimi! Un vero piacere, torneremo. Super centrale, comodissimo per vedere il centro a piedi. Comodo parcheggio a pagamento nella stessa via.
- Miguel Alberto (8/5): -
- andreiandreeaa (10/5): - The location was excellent, in the city center near main attractions. The staff was awesome and super helpful -gave me a lot of tips and recommendations. I would honestly go back here again and again. N/a
- TAKAKO (10/5): -
- Kirk (10/5): What a wonderful place to stay and experience Florence - What a wonderful stay. These owners could write a textbook on how to do it right. Warm, friendly, extremely helpful and just great people. I just asked my wife and she couldn't think of anything we didnt like either.
- Leslie (9/5): Super accueil et localisation - L’accueil et la gentillesse des hôtes et la proximité dans le centre ville.
On peut tout faire à pied. Rien
- Carl (3/5): poor value for inferior accommodations and food - the owners were pleasant and the location was convenient the entry to the property is "tired", there's a steep flight of stairs to the B&B on the second floor. room was very small and modestly appointed, mattress was thin and uncomfortable and there's a lot of street noise from traffic and a bar close by. the bathroom was small and the shower ridiculously small. there was ample hot water though.
the breakfast was disappointing (we went to a cafe around the corner).
the room was so small, my daughter left after one night to stay at another property. I would have left too except a friend was arriving because i was there.
the owner seemed overly concerned about collecting a late arrival fee of 30 Euros and collecting a 48 Euro VAT fee at checkout, which was awkward.
- Mills (10/5): - Location, breakfast, hosts were all fantastic! Nothing comes to mind.
- Björn (8/5): - Personalens engagemang
- Richard (10/5): The host was extremely helpful and gave his all to make our visit to Florence special. - Excellent location and excellent host.
- ilona (10/5): Amazing welcome to a beautiful city! Comfortable and cozy - Charming room, comfortable bed, so close to everything I wanted to see, and what an amazing host! Seriously, he took time to orient me to town, gave great recommendations, and made me feel so welcome. Can’t think of a thing.
- Anthony (10/5): The staff is exceptional and goes above and beyond for the clients. The location is superb as well! - The staff and location of the place are exceptional!! The hot water for 2 showers is a very short time
- Maciej (10/5): - The highlight of the place is definitely the owners. From the very first minute we felt welcome and taken care of. The location is also worth noting. 10 minutes walk from all the main points of interest, but also one intersection away from the raging crowds that were filling the city when we were visiting. It is a place in the middle of the old town, so some standard inconveniences need to be considered - rather dark rooms, thin walls, tiny shower, etc.
- Ubai (9/5): - The property is very well located, walking distance from all major sites in Florence.
The Host are very friendly and go out of their way to make personal recommendations of places to visit and eat.
Rooms are tastefully re-done; and clean. allowing for an old world charm.
- Camille (10/5): -
- Marine & Juan (10/5): - Lavinia and Riccardo are the loveliest and kindest people ever. They treat guests very well. The hotel is pristine, warm and cozy, and the breakfast is really good. I totally recommend spending time in the hotel. The house and the rooms are beautifully decorated and restored, which adds to the charm of the place.
- Silvia (10/5): -
- PaulH (9/5): Great Room - Great information from the B&B owners before we arrived. Lovely room with plenty of floor space. Comfortable beds and good aircon in the room. The breakfast selection was amazing, I'm sure they would have accommodated any breakfast request. We stayed in the Green Room. The Hosts were amazing throughout our stay, they couldn't have doner anymore to help us before our stay, during our stay and when we were leaving. Truly brilliant hosts. The balcony isn't really as described, it's just a small space for 1 person to stand on but does provide good ventilation from the outside into the room.

- jean luc (10/5): - L’accueil du propriétaire
Pas de bruit
lit et douche très bien
- MakiiMaja (10/5): Schöner Aufenthalt mit freundlichem Personal - Das B&B ist super gelegen, wenige Meter davor gibt es einen kleinen Supermarkt und direkt davor eine Bushaltestelle. Zum Zentrum der Altstadt sind es nur wenige Minuten zu Fuss. Die Besitzer sind super freundlich und hilfsbereit und haben und tolle Empfehlungen zu unsrem Aufenthalt in Florenz abgegeben. Auch die vorgängige Kommunikation via Booking.com sowie via Whatsapp hat super geklappt. Das Zimmer wurde stets sauber gehalten und auch das Frühstück war sehr gut.
- Jacey (9/5): Superb - Riccardo was so helpful! With directions, recommendations, navigation and local knowledge. His input helped our trip become even incredible!
- Ilana (9/5): Superb - The owners were exceptional- helpful, kind, communicative. I also loved the breakfast.
- Annette (9/5): Best location and best hosts - highly recormmended -
- Vikas (10/5): Exceptional - Ricardo and Lavinia were fantastic hosts. They went out of their way to help with booking local taxi transportation.
- Stephanie (10/5): Nice, authentic B&B in the city centre - Grazie mille, Lavinia e Riccardo!
The B&B is perfectly located in the city centre, you can reach everything easily by foot.
The B&B itself is very authentic and beautiful. The hosts help you out, whatever you need and the breakfast is very good as well.
We will come back! Alla prossima! Everything was good :)
- Jean (7/5): Despite the musty smell, it was a neat old place to stay with character and a nice breakfast was offered. - This place was almost 800 yrs old I believe and had charm. It was in a nice location. The owners were very sweet and helpful and breakfast was nice. The place smelled musty. I did not like that.
- Megan (10/5): Lovely - Riccardo is the friendliest and warmest host - we loved chatting with him! Great location in a cool old building. The yellow room was comfortable and very clean.
- Kimberly (9/5): Would go back! - Great location. Very friendly owners. Room fit 4 adults. Yummy breakfast. Very clean. No screen on the window to keep mosquitos out.
- Andrii (10/5): Exceptional - Riccardo went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable.
The location is great, pictures set clear expectations for what to expect from each of the rooms (we needed separate beds, so that part was important and hard to figure out with many other hotels). We also loved the breakfast.
- Katja (10/5): Startrek Holodeck experience - After my motorcycle gave up on a hill in sardegna the lovely hosts helped me as much as they possibly could with getting home, I felt really welcome, like when visiting family. The fact that the building is 800 (😳) years old is a cherry on top, this place oozes charme from every wall. I wouldn't have been surprised to see da vinci walk out of another room in the morning. The bed could be a little longer and sturdier... 2m tall people will have difficulty sleeping in it.
- Ernest (7/5): The stay is central and very polite and helpful staff. If you minus the bed bugs and the stairs. It is a good place for - The hospitality and breakfast There were bed bugs
- Silvia (10/5): Lovely B&B - First place the Hosts, Ricardo and Lavinia are simply wonderful. Location is ideal with everything walking distance. We like everything!
- Sydnie (8/5): Very good -
- Marwan (8/5): Very good -
- Leo (10/5): Unexpected hospitality that went above and beyond to make our trip the best! - Hosts were amazing! Very friendly and helpful providing excellent recommendations for things to do, places to go and restaurants!
- Victoria (7/5): Definitely recommend. Great location. - Very informative hosts, great location & very clean. The spare bed that is for the 3rd person was not comfortable at all.
- Laura (10/5): Amazing Place!!! - Everything about my stay was perfect! I loved the owners so much! The place was super cute and cozy. Everything was clean, the breakfast was great, and it was super quiet so I was able to get a good night's sleep. They owners are so nice and super helpful. The restaurants they recommended were also beyond amazing. This is the place I will be staying from now on when I go to Florence.
- Roman (9/5): Superb -
- Carsten (9/5): Superb - Riccardo and Lavinia had been very friendly and helpful hosts that created a welcoming atmosphere.The location is close to the main attractions, clean, quiet and comfortable. All you need like restaurants and a super market is located right next door.
- Stefk15 (10/5): Exceptional - The location is great, within 20 min walking of basically all landmarks. Generally clean and comfortable, but given the fact that the building is hundreds of years old, some of the adaptations made may not fully satisfy modern day expectations. But at the end of the day it's part of the experience :) All was great, I can't find anything to put my finger on. Regarding the breakfast, you should know that it's Italian, which may be unusual compared to other countries: basically sweets and coffee. This could be viewed as lack of diversity, but it's common practice all over Italy. On the other hand, everything they offered tasted great :)
- Krystol (10/5): Try them for a home away from home! - Everything. Riccardo and Lavinia were absolutely wonderful hosts who made sure you felt at home! They remembered the small details like cappuccino preferences and are available any time. When my Uber cancelled 3 times on the way to the airport, Riccardo called a taxi and secured me a ride in less than 4 minutes! They have a ton of valuable resources to share with newbies to Florence and I'm sure even seasoned travellers will appreciate their maps and suggestions. My son LOVED the Italian breakfast served daily, and he especially loved the hot chocolate. I enjoyed my morning cappuccino made by our lovely hosts, and they keep the breakfast drink bar open all day so if you need another cappuccino later, then you can help yourself! My son and I both found the beds and pillow to be comfy, and we had plenty of towels and such for our 3 night-4 day stay.
If you want an authentic Italian experience, then I absolutely recommend Case Dei Tintori!!! It wasn't an issue for me but I can imagine for those that are super light sleepers, IF you have a neighbor in one of the other rooms and they snore or cough, you can hear them IF you are in the Blue Room (where we stayed).
Also, if you're American then just know that an Italian breakfast if not like a heavy American breakfast. I was fine with our breakfast since I usually just have a coffee to-go and don't eat until noon at home anyways but if you like a "Waffle House/IHOP" style Americana breakfast, just be sure to let Riccardo and Lavinia know and I am sure they'll do what they can to prepare for you a similar breakfast.
We enjoyed everything so no complaints from us!
- Joseph (10/5): A great place to enjoy Florentine hospitality on a human scale. - Riccardo and Lavinia are wonderful hosts: friendly, hospitable, and eager to share all sorts of useful information with their guests. I found their restaurant recommendations particularly helpful. I also enjoyed all the carefully considered local touches, from the property’s furniture and décor scheme to the very nice Italian-style sweet breakfast featuring various Florentine specialties that they had ready every morning. The location is excellent too. Highly recommended! I honestly can’t think of anything I didn’t like about La Casa dei Tintori.
- Andrea (10/5): Definitely a perfect location in the centre of Florence, with super friendly and helpful owners - Super-friendly staff, very efficient in providing information and support
- Maria (10/5): Excellent, we also got so many good tips for things to do - Everything 12/10
- Alison (10/5): Wonderful stay in a fantastic location - Wonderful clean, warm and comfortable room in a fantastic location. Lovely breakfast and
Ricardo is a superb host and nothing was too much trouble.
Lovely bars and restaurants all around and walking distance to lots of sights. Nothing
- Leticia (9/5): Superb -
- Lee (10/5): Exceptional - The owner of the B&B was extremely friendly and gave excellent advice catered specifically to you - for example, what to do if you love art and museums, or where to eat if you want to try a specific food. Breakfast was delicious with an assortment of local pastries, and also staples like cereals, breads and yoghurt. The coffee was also great. The B&B itself was located within the main tourist area, right next to all the major attractions and restaurants. Overall great place to stay.
- Ela (10/5): Perfect stay we wish that only one night - The host, very helpful and flexible. We can leave our luggage as long as we need. The place is in walking distance to everyplace we wanted to visit
- Jennifer (10/5): We loved every minute of it! - The location was excellent with easy walking to various sites. Riccardo was so welcoming and helpful. His recommendations were spot on. Nothing
