Guest Reviews
- Guest (9/5): Excellent séjour avec un personnel attentif, un emplacement très pratique et une chambre propre et confortable. - Établissement super bien placé en plein centre. Personnel charmant. Chambre joliment décorée et silencieuse Petit déjeuner un tout petit peu juste. Boissons proposées dans des tasses trop petites à mon goût.
- Ann (10/5): We loved it so much, we would stay there again for sure. - The location was right in the heart of Florence so you could walk to everything. The room was very spacious and comfortable with 2 big windows overlooking the area. The staff were very kind, welcoming and helpful…Especially the woman (can’t remember her name) who served breakfast and cleaned the rooms. She was lovely and always wanting to make sure we were comfortable. The area is very loud so it may not suit everyone but the windows and shutters block out 90% of the noise at night so you can sleep.

- garrett (8/5): -
- Jill (10/5): -
- Ana María (7/5): - La ubicación Dentro de la habitación había una puerta que cualquiera del personal podía entrar y lamentablemente nos faltó dinero
- kellen (10/5): Excelente hotel e localização previlégiada - Limpeza, organização
- Barbara (10/5): - Fantastyczna lokalizacja, bardzo pomocny gospodarz, bardzo dobre śniadania, czystość 10/10.
- Rita (10/5): - As a solo traveller,everything was perfect breakfast,staff,position,comfy bed and lovely shower. Thankyou
- Alberto (9/5): - La posizione strategica, la pulizia La tessera per l’apertura del portone non funzionava, me ne sono accorto al rientro dopo cena.
Non è stato possibile anticipare la colazione (chiesto un caffè), perché il nostro orario di partenza non coincideva con gli orari previsti.
- lena (10/5): Placentera, el desayuno muy bueno y fresco - Muy agradable, cómodo, el baño de buen tamaño Subir escaleras
- Marlene (8/5): -
- Katia (8/5): Muy buena. Recomiendo. - La ubicación increíble justo al medio de la ciudad. La amabilidad con la que nos recibió el trabajador de recepción. Estaba todo muy limpio y habitación súper amplia. El baño también. El wifi funcionaba perfecto. Llegar con auto es bastante complicado y caro. Las escaleras son difíciles de subir con maletas y bolsos. No se podía ajustar la temperatura del aire acondicionado.
El desayuno era muy básico, no había muchas opciones, la señora que atendía no era muy amable y no permitía calentar panes que no fueran de miga.
- Ákos (9/5): -
- Erika (9/5): We had 2 days and the hotel was just perfect. Location unbelievable for the key tourist attractions. - Location was perfect for so many key sights
- María José (8/5): -
- Alberto (9/5): -
- Camilla (8/5): - Perfekt läge, bra rum och fantastiska Maria som tog hand om oss och fixade. Lite hårda sängar.
- Lorenzo (10/5): Spettacolare - La posizione è fantastica. Puoi lasciare la macchina nel parcheggio convenzionato e dimenticarla. Poi giri Firenze a piedi in tutta comodità. Personale gentilissimo. Stanza perfetta e bagno con doccia spettacolare. Una location meravigliosa.
- Samuel (10/5): - Le lit était très confortable, l'insonorisation excellente, tout est très propre. Le personnel est très sympathique et de bon conseil.
- Giuseppe (9/5): -
- Bonnie (10/5): Recommend - would stay at the Residenza again. - Location, excellent front desk staff (help w/ luggage - there is no elevator & stone stairs consistent w/ age of building, quiet despite being on a central street a short walk from the Duomo (great people watching), comfortable beds, kettle & tea in the room, responsive to inquires, great value for price. Stairs can be a challenge if travelling w/ heavy luggage, but as mentioned, staff will assist. On a busy pedestrian street, so be prepared to work your way through crowds to access the building.
- Albina (7/5): - Місцезнаходження Дуже холодно в номері
- Waldemar (10/5): - Zentrale Lage für alle Top Sehenswürdigkeiten in Florenz.
WLAN war stabil, Zimmer sehr sauber und Frühstück Prime.
Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Die Kommunikation vor der Anreise war auch sehr gut.
- Domenico (10/5): -
- Mihaela (10/5): Ottimo! - Una bellissima camera, molto pulita con il personale disponibile e accogliente. La colazione buona e diversificata. Tornerei volentieri e lo consiglio anche a chi vuole visitare e soggiornare a Firenze🤗

- Manfred (7/5): -
- Alessandro (9/5): - La posizione centrale, l'accoglienza e la disponibilità dello staff Locale destinato alla colazione un pò piccolo
- Maria (10/5): Molto consigliato - Posizione centrale, camera pulita ed accogliente, staff molto gentile ed accogliente. Non c'è niente da da eccepire.
- Aneta12345 (9/5): - Lovely place! In the middle of Florence, everything is close! Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The host is a lovely, friendly lady - we really enjoyed our stay.the breakfast was very nice, small but really Italian! Just the heating is a problem. Its done by aircon and in ours it didnt heat much. In other two rooms, the aircon was heating like crazy but then when off, the rooms were quickly becoming cold.
- Fabio (8/5): Posizione e servizi ottimi - Posizione in pieno centro in via dei Calzaiuoli, la colazione ottima ed abbondante, le camere ampie e pulite
- Julia (10/5): Central and comfortable stay in Florence - We spent a night in the a beautiful family room. It was spacious, clean and comfortable. The room had all amenities including a fridge, water bottles and a tea set with biscuits. The breakfast was good with a good range of continental options. The hotel is in a lovely palazzo building full of character. The location is excellent, right next to the main sights. The staff were friendly and helpful. It would be good to provide coffee sachets in the room.
- Roberta (10/5): - La posizione in pieno centro a due passi dal Duomo e vicino agli Uffizi. In pratica lasciata la macchina l'abbiamo ripresa solo per ripartire. La stanza bellissima è molto pulita, personale gentilissimo.
- Uta (9/5): -
- Susan (10/5): A gem. - Lovely place, amazing location right near all key attractions. Staff friendly and helpful. Beds were a bit hard for me but that’s just a personal preference thing.
- Jacques (7/5): Dommage ! - Emplacement excellent. Bien isolé de l’extérieur bruyant. Mauvaise isolation phonique d’une porte communicante entre deux chambres.
Lits trop étroits et peu confortables.
Chaise ancienne défoncée.
Frigo posé par terre avec cafetière dessus !
- Isobel (9/5): - Wonderful, spacious room with a huge bathroom. Very comfortable bed, large wardrobe for unpacking clothes. Despite literally being in the thick of the center (5min walk to Uffizi, 5mins to Duomo), the windows keep out all the street noise! Staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. They give you cookies everyday that are DELICIOUS. Really nothing to put here! Have been traveling around Europe for months (read: lots of hotel stays) - this is one of the best places we have stayed in.
- daniela (8/5): L'emplacement idéal - L'emplacement, L'emplacement, L'emplacement ! Très pratique
Ideal, complètement au centre.
La gentillesse de la dame qui gère la résidence
La propreté. Très grande douche. Bof pour le petit déjeuner. Pas de pain frais, que du pain de mie industriel.
La déco de la chambre n°1 rustique/ vieillotte, ne correspond pas aux photos. Mais rien de grave.
Nous avons payé 61€ pour 1 jour et demi de parking...qui est à 8 minutes à pieds de l'hôtel
- Emre (10/5): -
- Francesco (10/5): - Tutto ok. Personale gentilissimo e disponibile. Posizione perfetta e stanza pulita. Ottima anche la colazione. Nulla
- Mario (10/5): -
- Peggie (9/5): -
- TIZIANO (10/5): -
- Fabio (7/5): -

Buona pulizia della camera
La signora che si è occupata del check in e che si occupava delle stanze è stata molto accogliente e gentile
- Valentina (8/5): -
- Alfonso (8/5): -
- mitchell (10/5): Amazing bed and breakfast to enjoy our couple days in Florence. Would highly recommend for anyone travelling to Florence - Beautiful location and rooms. Was great to have the breakfast. Staff were amazing. The beds were a tad uncomfortable. They were a bit hard.
- Meriem (9/5): -
- Leandro (8/5): -
- Mnormand (7/5): Très bel environnement - L’emplacement et le petit déjeuner Le robinet de la toilette très bruyant et le bidet en utilisable
- Wendy (8/5): - Maria is a consummate hostess and housekeeper. Perfect location centrally located around shopping and sites. Ideally should update details to reflect accurate city tax (7 EU not 6 - per person per day).
- Alan (9/5): Lovely property, helpful, pleasant staff. - Location in the heart of Florence is fantastic.
- Núria (8/5): Buena Estancia - El trato, la habitacion muy bien, todo muy limpio,bien situado. La cama un poco dura,pero ya es mas personal de cada uno. El desayuno poca variedad.
- Edward (3/5): Locked out for an entire night. Host unreachable. No compensation. - Downtown location is unbeatable. Staff was very sweet and helpful. Room didn‘t have a proper window, just frosted glass panes into a tiny, dark inner courtyard. Was locked out from 12:30AM to 6:15AM because keycard fell out of my pocket. Was finally let in by guests leaving. Contact number was turned off. Doorbell wasn‘t answered. Then asked to pay for a new card. This is unacceptable.
- Gerard (10/5): - Loved the location and ease of walking to dining and tourist sites,
- Mahmud (10/5): -
- Hazel (10/5): - The property was centrally located so that every place I needed to get to was within walking distance. The staff was very friendly. I had to check-in after 7 pm and Daniel provided easy and clear instructions to check myself in. I also had to check-out really early, and Daniel again was very helpful in setting up a 4 am taxi pickup on a Sunday morning. Staying at this place made me feel like I was renting out a nice little apartment in the center of Florence! Would definitely stay here again, and would recommend staying here to others!
- nancy (10/5): - The room was fantastic and the staff was even better!! Maria was so kind and helpful that we felt like at home!!!
We definitely recommend this place to stay!
- Annette (8/5): Good Location but Uncomfortable Bed - Location to everything We could not open the door to our room. We tried for over half an hour. Daniel did not answer phone/text/email to assist us. There was something wrong with the door but it just simply did not open for us. But even worse, no one contacted us the next day to find out if we got in alright. I thought that was quite poor customer service. Also the bed was hard as a rock. After two days of sightseeing my backwards really quite sore. The shower was very strong and hot but there was no coffee in the room.
- Nataliya (10/5): - Convenient location, very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone.
- Melissa (8/5): Excellent location to be near everything on want to see and to go shopping. - The room was nice and the staff were very friendly. It is a great location and I highly recommend it for this. The room was vaulted and pretty. The bed was ok, didn’t sleep the best on it. That could be getting older and needing a firmer mattress. Bathroom was very nice. The breakfast was ok and allergies made it not so great. My husband is gluten free. We ended up eating out the second morning for breakfast. I really wish they didn’t lock up the kitchen or at least silverware. We ended up using espresso spoons when our delivery didn’t bring us any. My husband flew in to meet up with me and was exhausted, so we ordered in. It was also very hard for him to find, since it was his first time to Florence.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful family room - From the room details and convenient location just minutes from the Duomo to the wonderful Maria who made our family feel at home. Maria was very attentive and such a joy to speak with as she made our cappucinos each morning. The breakfast was a good variety and fresh. We chose a family room that looked to be located away from the main street, so very quiet and ample room for our family of 5 to share the space. We would stay here again.
- Laura (10/5): Perfect Stay in the Heart of Florence - Fantastic location, warm and welcoming hospitality, and a lovely breakfast to start each day. The room was spacious and comfortable, with excellent air conditioning — a true blessing in the summer heat. A wonderful stay all around. Highly recommend!
- Luke (10/5): Unbeatable Location, Friendly Hosts - Although the price is a little steep for the amenities provided, the location is absolutely unmatched! Additionally, Maria was incredibly kind and helpful each morning during breakfast and helped make it an unforgettable stay!
I would like to return to Florence in the future and would plan to book the same accommodation!
- Damaris (10/5): Cute historical building, nice toiletries and helpful staff - So cute and charming with proximity to the Duomo.
- baruc (8/5): - Great staff and breakfast service
- shaina (10/5): - This room was so much bigger than other European hotels. The staff was incredibly kind, the rooms are well maintained and the showers are big and beautiful. The room has cute treats and waters available as well. We really loved this place and it us very conveniently located
- Byrne (9/5): Superb - Excellent location in the middle of the Historic Centre but not noisy.
Room was very clean, comfortable and quite spacious.
Lovely breakfast available. I have no negatives to say. :)
- Gianni (7/5): Great Location!! Not a proper Hotel. Strict Check Out Policy - Centrally located in the center of Firenze. Cold a/c. Good size shower and bathroom. Manager was a nice young man. Not a true hotel. It is an apartment. Steep stairs to unit. Breakfast was poor. Cleaning person was kind of rude rushing/standing over us exactly at 10:00 (when she saw that we were packing and 4/5 minutes from being finished). Was a sour way to wrap up our stay.
- Soyoung (10/5): - The room was very clean. Its convenient walking distance to see the duomo.
Overall, highly recommend
- Rachel (9/5): Perfect location and amenities in Florence! - Perfect location right in the centre of Florence short walking distance to all the mains areas.
Check in process was smooth and easy.
We were staying for one night as we previously had visited two weeks ago we came to try a restaurant and do some shopping and this stay was perfect for this - the aircon was a dream and really needed after being out in the heat. The shower was lovely and hot and powerful and the building was peaceful. I would definitely stay here again if visiting Florence :) The bed is on the firm side but actually I find this to be a nice surprise for a night as it resets your back I just wouldn’t do a long stay on it.
- Alannah (8/5): Very good -
- Rocio (8/5): - Great location. It was one big room in a bed & breakfast. Overall nice stay.
- Satya (10/5): - This property is adjoining the square in front of Palazzo Vecchio! Its civic square of Florentine govt. since about 14 th century!! In other words Location is simply invaluable if you’re interested in history.
Host told us the we stayed has one of the walls which maybe 700 years old. Stunning. But rooms are clean and well maintained with modern amenities like air conditioners, locker, small refrigerator, attached bathrooms etc.
Host Daniello ( if I got the name right) was very friendly and even helped Carr our luggage upstairs.) and so is other staff member, very helpful.
Bathroom is a little small, no lift. But those are the only two disadvantages. But otherwise it’s an amazing location, once you step out of apartment you are in medieval renaissance street (ofcourse you have everything in street Rayban, tissot and also amazing food scene right there) and also Florence Duomo is close by , as well as Uffizi museum and Academia gallery!
- Kath (9/5): Lovely, quirky, location was fantastic. -
- Poppy (10/5): Fabulous stay - 100% recommend - Communication was great, we were welcomed on arrival, the room was just awesome, it was huge and has great features. Central location but not noisy at all. Aircon worked really well. Would 100% recommend! Nothing
- Melanie (10/5): - Thank you Daniel for your hospitality! We felt very comfortable and received a very friendly welcome on arrival. The hotel is in the middle of the city center and everything is within walking distance. Our room was very quiet, clean and the air conditioning cooled very well! Thank you very much and see you soon.
- Jessica (10/5): - Honestly this was an amazing hotel. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in in Europe, the complimentary breakfast was lovely, the room was spacious and clean and the location was the best part. I would 100% stay here again and again and again
- Consi (9/5): Superb - Nice location We had a very small room with no windows
- Marcela (10/5): Excellent location - It is very cute, the location is just perfect. Excellent customer service No elevator, you need to carry suitcases yourself
- Troy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nic (9/5): Superb -
- Ross (8/5): Great stay !! - Very authentic, great location and very clean no standing mirror, wifi wasn’t the best
- Amie (10/5): So friendly, welcoming and comfortable - Location was fabulous and so easy to find Hmmm ….. I can’t think of anything!
- Ilona (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful place right in the city center, but very quiet. Very clean and comfortable, everything is new. Nothing
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - The location is second to none. Couldn’t be more central
- Rachel (9/5): Great Location in Beautiful Florence - The location is brilliant, it's very close to the Uffizi and Museo de Bargello and shopping streets.
The accommodation is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. There wasn't anything I didn't like!
- Carlos (10/5): - We loved this hotel, the location was amazing, in the middle of all the action. The room was clean and recently renovated. Maria was our host and she was awesome, super helpful and friendly. I stayed with my wife and 8 year old son, this was a great family friendly hotel. Only a 15 minute walk to the train station. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Florence for the first time.
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
- jean (10/5): - The accommodation was beautiful. We had the family room for four. It was very comfortable and the staff were amazing. The location is wonderful. I would stay here again !
- Uchenna (9/5): Superb - Really kind staff and spacious room in the heart of florence.
- Jennifer (10/5): City Gem - The location was amazing. Right in the middle of all of Florence's main attraction. The hotel room was clean and attractive. The breakfast was fantastic, too.
- Stephanie (9/5): Superb -
- Maddalena (7/5): Stay was comfortable for sleep and shower, not a room where you can relax and enjoy the vista. - Terrific location and the most friendly staff, who are willing to help in anyway. The room we had was dark and lacked character compared to the photos advertised. We had French doors that opened up to an internal courtyard which was disappointing. Not sure what you need to book and pay to get a view of the front streets.
- Burak (8/5): Very good -
