B&B La Dimora di Alida

Bellissima casa, posizione panoramica su Fiesole e Firenze, host gentilissima e molto accogliente che ringraziamo con piacere. Ci hanno accolto anche Ernesto e Luna, due cani molto simpatici, e numerosi gatti. La nostra suite era composta da una camera matrimoniale molto spaziosa e una cameretta per nostro figlio con un delizioso terrazzino affacciato su Fiesole e Firenze. Ottima colazione. Sala da bagno molto spaziosa. Ci torneremo di sicuro. Ideale anche per un soggiorno dí più giormi grazie ai numerosi spazi disponibili all’aperto.

Consigliamo di salire dalla strada che attraversa il paese di Fiesole perché l’altra è molto stretta e con parecchie curve.

Breakfast was breakfast

Place wasnt as clean as I thought it should be

Very authentic with a really nice host (and some lovely friendly dogs too!) even though we were late in arriving due to a flight delay. Quiet clean room, a beautiful location. Hope to come back.

I don’t have enough warm and kind words to express my gratitude to Alida for her incredible hospitality, kindness, and care. Our apartment had absolutely everything we could possibly need. It was impeccably clean and tidy—everything was always in perfect order, as if by magic, without us ever noticing how or when it happened. Every morning, Alida treated us to delicious, beautifully prepared breakfasts that gave our days the perfect start. The apartment itself was spacious and thoughtfully equipped with every essential item and convenience. The bathroom alone was larger than many hotel rooms we’ve stayed in! Having a large, private parking space was an unexpected and invaluable bonus—especially in Florence, where parking can be a real challenge. But what truly made our stay special was the private terrace, where we enjoyed daily views of Florence and the beautiful Tuscan landscape. It was a dream. Thank you, Alida—you made our visit truly unforgettable. We hope to return one day to our beloved Florence, made even more special by your warmth and generosity.

There was nothing we do not like.

The property was beautiful and Alida was a very gracious hostess.

Our host was lovely. Very friendly and accommodating. Thank- you for going out of your way to spoil us on our special occasion. We appreciated the information given, history on the area and what to see. The views were great and the breakfast superb. Unfortunately due to the weather, we didn't get to appreciate the views as much. The house was very authentic Italian and everything clean and tidy. We booked from reviews not realising it was 2 1/2 km from Fiesole so for one night not really a walkable option into town for dinner or to look around. Our fault we should have researched more. Our host was lovely but the place looked like it needed a bit of TLC.

Alida is a very nice owner, made an excellent dinner

Amazing views from the rooms we had. There were three of us, so one double and a smaller single for our teenager, and this smaller room had its own terrace with a view. The dogs and cats are charming, as we like animals, with Ernesto the dog being a big hit with our son. Being in Fiesole was also a much better place to stay as Florence was very crowded. Plus lovely views from here. There are a handful of restaurants in Fiesole centre, so plenty of choice. Parking in Fiesole is busy but we always found a space, and to go to Florence got the number 7 bus (we were there on a weekend). Alida is a lovely host and would recommend staying her for 2 or 3 nights. Much better than staying in Florence. Keep an eye on the sat nav. Ours stopped at the property before Alida's but we found it by chance as we drove ahead a tad thinking we needed to turn around.

We drove from Montecatini and the sat nav sent us up a super, super steep, hair pin bend road before getting to Fiesole, so keep an eye on what the sat nav does approaching Fiesole and coming from Montecatini. There's a much more friendly gradient route to take!
