Guest Reviews
- Belanger (10/5): - L'acceuil chaleureux, l'emplacement, l'attention aux dètails des lieux. Un sèjour memorable. Rien à dire
- KaiWei (10/5): - 員工都非常讚。 房間很大。 浴室很乾淨。
- Rosa Maria (9/5): -
- Tayler (8/5): Charming stay in Florence - The room and facility was clean, charming, and welcoming. We liked the staff, the room design (the wallpaper, art work), and location. The mattress was too stiff for our liking, woke up with a sore back in the mornings.
- George (8/5): Good location. Florence itself is far too busy for me but the room was perfectly fine - Good location.
- Mary (8/5): Centrally located and a lovely bed. - We arrived VERY late because of a diverted flight, but Fatima kindly met us and let us in. Lots of steps to climb to get to the Assaporarte rooms, so definitely not one for anyone with mobility problems. Breakfast was advertised, but there was no real coffee ☕ in the shared kitchen, so we went out for brekkie. The bed was lovely and the place was spotless, but despite being several storeys up, there was a lot of noise from the streets below. It would be a great help if instructions regarding the keys and which one went in which lock (there was a large metal gate halfway up the stairs) was left in the room. The biggest plus is the fact that Assaporarte is so centrally located, just a ten minute walk from the heart of Florence and close to the railway too. Not enough info on the keys, no real coffee for breakfast and I did worry that as we were quite high up with no visible fire escape or procedure for getting out of the building in an emergency.
- Sarah (10/5): Fantastic place to stay - Great location walking distance from all attractions, beautiful room and perfect hospitality. Would definitely recommend staying here. Nothing all good
- Merve (10/5): Comfortable, practical, cosy - Room was clean, host was very kind. The reception area was full with fresh tasty deserts. Closet space was a bit small and actually there was no closed closet space.
- Claire (8/5): Comfy and cozy! - The bathrooms were gorgeous and we loved the tall ceilings! We think the ac unit in our room may not have been working or the room wasn’t retaining the cold air from it as we were very hot at night which made it difficult to sleep. We wanted to open the windows but the noise from the street made it so we were unable to sleep if we did so.
- Taha Ayberk (10/5): Güzel konum, iyi işletme - Merkez istasyona yakındı, aynı zamanda her yere yürüyerek ulaşım kolaydı. Fatıma hanımın karşılaması ve ilgisi çok iyiydi. Son gün check-out yaptıktan sonra bavullarımızı bırakıp gezebildik bu kolaylığı her tesis sağlamıyor. Odalar temiz ve güzel kokuyordu.
- Douglas (10/5): Comfy room with great location. - The host, Fatima, was very helpful and supportive. The room was modern and remarkably quiet. The bathroom and shower were great. The location couldn't be better: close to the train station and all of the major sites in Florence. The listing didn't mention that this was on the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. We were okay with the stairs, but others might like to know ahead of time.
- Luis (8/5): -
- chiara (10/5): -
- Eatherington (10/5): - The property was in a great location 5 mins from the train station and close to the centre of town.
Fatima was a great host.
- Dorota (10/5): - late check in and the host waited for me until midnight to help me with the luggage. Very supportive staff. Great room, big and window with the view on the typical Florentine streets. Next time my first choice in Florence
- Jean Paul (9/5): - Die Lage, die hilfsbereitschaft von Fatima Nichts auszusetzen
- Jennifer (9/5): We would stay here again! So easy to walk everywhere and great restaurants all around! - We loved our stay at this beautiful place! Our room was well appointed and very clean. We chose it because it was close to the train station and we were on foot and it is also close to everything tourists want to see in Florence. The streets adjacent are busy, but the windows are very good at keeping out noise - we didn't hear the streets at all. A bonus surprise is that the owner provides a lovely offering of cakes, fruit and some candies - perfect when we wanted a small snack. This may have been listed, since it's called a bed and breakfast - I just hadn't noticed that. So we had cake for breakfast twice when we wanted to get somewhere early. We felt very safe here - there are multiple layers of security for your room. The front door off the street, the gate on the stairs after hours, the key card to get into the suite of rooms and then your individual room key card. Shout out to Gladius Restaurant, right down the street - so friendly and helpful with our selections for an excellent meal! We were there for over fours nights and Saturday night in Florence is quite lively. Someone came in after a late night out, singing and loud. We think someone told them off and they quieted down quickly. I don't know what the owner can do about that - it seemed like the noisy people went further up in the building to a floor or two above. We never felt unsafe, it was just a bit loud.
- Stavros (7/5): Parfait - Situation en ville …centrale La rue un peu bruyante
- Marko (10/5): - Location is great and apartments is cozy
- Debora (9/5): -
- Samanta (8/5): Tutto perfetto - Posizione centrale, struttura accogliente e pulita.
Fatima ci ha permesso di fare il check-out alle 17 al posto delle 11, è stata gentilissima Al 2piano senza ascensore, scalini un po’ stretti, faticoso con le valigie, ma per il resto tutto top!
- Lorelle (10/5): - Clean and tidy and very friendly welcoming arrival
- Diakova (10/5): - We were welcomed by an incredibly beautiful and hospitable Fatima. On my child’s birthday, she gave him a cap from the local football team ,it was such a thoughtful and touching gesture, both for him and for me 🥰
Out of two available rooms, we were offered the better one, even though we had booked another. The room was absolutely perfect ,spacious, with high ceilings and beautiful paintings on the walls.
I especially want to mention the amazingly comfortable bed and wonderful linens: as soon as you lie down, you fall asleep instantly, like a child.
The location couldn’t be better. There’s a parking lot nearby (about €35), which is a real treasure in the center of Florence. I recommend booking a spot in advance, as parking here is very limited.
We were very happy with our stay and will definitely come back!
Highly recommended!
- Ron (8/5): - Really good location No lift for bags but was helped by the staff
- lianye (10/5): -
- Simona (9/5): -
- yan (10/5): Exceed the expectations! - Location is perfect to reach anywhere in the city. Convenient.
- Elisabeth (6/5): -
- Serena (8/5): Lovely accommodation regardless of the stairs - Extremely central and clean. The lady who welcomed us was very kind and professional. There were fresh treats for us to nibble on too. Having to go up two flights of steep stairs was not fun at our age.
- Andre (10/5): Florens är underbart och att bo på Assaporarte gjorde det hela ännu bättre. - Ett superbra boende med ett perfekt läge mitt i stan. Vi åkte tåg och det tog bara 10 minuter att gå från stationen. Boendet ligger i ett lugnt område med många bra restauranger med humana priser dvs inga turistfällor. Boendet är nyrenoverat vackert bekvämt och rent. Värdinnan Fatima som tog emot oss är otroligt hjälpsam och vänlig. Här kommer vi att bo nästa gång vi åker till Florens
- martin (10/5): -
- Julie (10/5): -
- Marc (9/5): I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Florence. - Nice location. Clean. Secure. Close to train station. Nothing at all
- Nathalie (9/5): -
- Amit (10/5): -
- Lloica Czackis (10/5): Perfect! - Exceptional place - personnel was absolutely lovely, super efficient. Everything was clean and well taken care of. Tasteful decoration. Excellent location. A kettle and small things to eat were available all the time, as well as a communal full kitchen.
- Bella (10/5): Exceptional -
- Robin (9/5): Amazing place in the perfect spot! - Amazing location and good room with amenities. The AC was not working great, had to leave it on full for the whole day (which made a lot of noise). It did cool down but it felt like it was a bottom wall unit that was put on the ceiling, which made the air go upwards and not circulating correctly.
- القحطاني (10/5): Exceptional -
- Judylee (10/5): A delightful stay! - Quiet, beautiful, spotlessly clean, and comfortable. Offered a perfect respite from the hot and busy Florence streets! Very convenient area! Fatima was such a kind, generous, and gracious hostess! I highly, highly recommend! Don’t hesitate! You’ll be lucky to stay in this lovely property! Nothing!!
- Anne (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (10/5): Lovely, calm sanctuary in busy Florence - Lovely accommodation in a perfect location. Beautifully decorated, very clean and very quiet. Nothing negative to say.
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - Spacious and charming room Strange smell in the bathroom
- Mark (10/5): Perfect location and comfortable stay. - Wonderful stay with quick, easy and friendly check in, clean and comfortable room and great location.
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - The host, Fatima, was lovely and her property is too. The unit is decorated nicely. It is bright and freshly painted white. Sweets are offered in the common area . It is very clean, and it even has a pleasant smell! It’s very close to the train as well.
- Aleksandar (10/5): Exceptional - It's at the city center, all the main tourist attractions are near, and the train station is just 5 minutes away.
The room was squeaky clean, and beautifully decorated!
The host was exceptionally kind, thank you!
- Amy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sarah (9/5): Superb -

Good location
- Don (10/5): Exceptional -
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (9/5): Superb -
- Mary (10/5): Easy, welcoming and fantastically located B&B with great facilities. - This was booked for my 2 daughters to meet us in Florence for a few days whilst we toured Italy. The host was magnificent. in fact the girls had the B&B to themselves as it had been closed because of the extreme heat in Florence. The facilities were top notch and so was the room and bathroom and the aircon was very welcoming. The location was magnificent too. Just 2 mins from Piazza Santa Maria Novella and 4 mins to the Duomo. Although they didn't really use the breakfast facility they said there was everything you needed to make a substantial breakfast. They would definitely stay again. No lift but the buildings are very old so to be expected.
- Sharanya (8/5): Great! - Everything! No major issues AC wasn't as strong as we would have liked even set on 16 - pillows were quite hard to sleep on as well but no other issues
- Sue (8/5): Very good -
- Antonija (10/5): Beautiful apartment in an excellent location - The apartment is beautiful, clean and in an excellent location. A few minutes' walk from the train station and the main square. The lady who welcomed us was very nice and kind.
- Eline (10/5): Perfect location, elegant and clean, wonderful staff :) - The location was absolutely perfect, close to everything but still quiet at night. The room was superb, spotlessly clean and very elegant and cosy. Easy check-in and check-out, and the most welcoming host who was very flexible during check-in time, and welcomed us warmly when we arrived. I highly recommend this place and will definitely choose it the next time we’re in Florence.
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carla (10/5): Perfect stay in Florence - Everything was great : the location, the room, the arrival, the communication with the host !
- Dawn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dawn (10/5): Exceptional - Within walking distance of the train station, the main tourist attractions, and a taxi stand. Room was quiet with the shudders shut and stayed cool in the summer heat. They held our luggage for us for early check in and when we left for the weekend elsewhere. Lovely people and very accommodating.
- Monica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Erika (10/5): Elegant rooms in perfect location. - What a wonderful guesthouse. We enjoyed our stay so much. Fatima is a gracious and friendly host and went out of her way to make our stay perfect. The room was elegant and beautifully decorated. The reception area is welcoming and cool, and a selection of cakes and snacks are available to guests. A wonderful stay and I can highly recommend this listing. Thank you Fatima! Everything was perfect!
- Matea (4/5): Good enough, but you can do better for your stay in Florence. - The room was clean, and the location of the stay was really good. It's close to a lot of attractions, and only a 10 minute walk from the train station. Very overpriced. I would look elsewhere for your stay in Florence. It was way too much money to pay for what is offered. First, when we first arrived, we noticed a very bad sewer smell in the hallway. There was also a lingering sewer smell in the bathroom. Know that they will not give you new towels each day unless you request it. For the price paid for the stay, it would be nice if they changed all of the towels every single day. The bed is soft and not as firm as other beds in Italy.
It is very loud when you open your window for fresh air. This stay is located on a very noisy street. Luckily, the air conditioning worked well where we did not need the window open for cool air.
The host was very kind, but we saw her only once, and this was at check in. After check in, you will not see the host or any other staff member ever again. The host can be contacted on WhatsApp, but it's not the same as having someone onsite to address any of your questions or issues. This felt more like an Airbnb stay where you are on your own after check in. Not having any human contact was a disadvantage because there was limited support and a lack of personal service.
We had to ask what to do for check out via text message on WhatsApp. Check out details were not mentioned at all during check in. Communication about these kinds of details could be improved at check in.
There's sweets / desserts on the lobby table, but I would not eat these. We saw the desserts at check-in, and we saw the same desserts days later at check-out. The food is not fresh.
In response to the hosts' comment:
(1) I only requested towel changes once during our stay. I have the WhatsApp text messages to prove this. My comment is, it would be nice to have daily changes given the big price of the stay.
(2) There is no personal problem with you. I do not know you.
- Haijiang (9/5): Superb - Great location, great vibe, great cleanliness, and of course great service. There is noise of constructions in Monday morning but I suppose it is not the problem of the hotel.
- Lihan (10/5): Fantastic - Fatima is a very kind host. I torn my ligament during the staying. She helped a lot. The room was well decorated and the location was very nice. If I go to Florence again I would choose to stay here again😊 Maybe because we chose the ro next to the street we could hear people talking on the street. But we had windows, which can compensate for that shortcoming 😁
- Martin (9/5): Superb - Perfect location, heart of florence
- Nayan (7/5): Good -
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful stay, really clear communication before we arrived and greeted by the lovely Fatima. Easy to walk to from the train station, great location to get around Florence. Immaculately clean, room was perfect with everything you could need. Would stay again!
- Michelle (10/5): Fabulous room. So clean and very comfortable. Great location and very secure. - Location was great. Room was very clean and very comfortable. Fatima is beautiful inside and out No lift
- Oliver (9/5): Superb - Beautiful room with good facilities. Well located
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Had a fantastic stay at this property. The room was exceptionally clean, and the bed was super comfortable. Meticulously renovated, beautiful old Florentine building, very close to everything. Our host Fatima was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with.
- Maurice (10/5): We had a fabulous time with really great place to stay. - The room was perfect The location was excellent. The staff were fantastic.
- David (10/5): Great stay - the room was perfect and well maintained - Perfect location - few minutes walk from rail station and within easy walking distance of the centre of Florence.
Nice comfortable bed as well. Stairs were a little bit steep, but most properties like this are the same (we stayed elsewhere in Florence a few years previously) - not a problem if you are reasonably fit.
- Emily (7/5): Really lovely accommodation that would be close to perfect if the bed wasn’t so uncomfortable. - Great location. Beautiful accommodation and building. The bed was really quite uncomfortable - the mattress was saggy and soft, and the pillows were all too thick.
It was also pretty noisy outside with people at nearby bars.
- Smith (9/5): Superb -
- Agustín (9/5): Superb - Very nice palazzo and room. Very nice traditional decoration. Just compliment water at arrival, the second day we did not have.
- Haimes (9/5): Superb -
- Yu (10/5): Exceptional - We spent 3 nights here. The hostess made our stay very easy and smooth, super sweet, welcoming and friendly! The room was greatly clean, and the everyday room service was exceptional! Walking distance to the train station, restaurants and shops. There was no elevator available in the building.
- Beth (8/5): Very good - Great location, in such a walkable city. Lovely rooms and great pastries and treats for us in the common area. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who can do stairs. Pillows were not great- very hard and another option would've made for better sleep.
- Fajar (8/5): Very good -
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
- Lyndsey (10/5): We can't wait to return - Fabulous, clean, modern, great location and friendly host.

- David (10/5): Exceptional - Loved this hotel. Just be aware need to carry luggage up several flights of stairs.
- Logan (9/5): Superb -
- Line (8/5): Great central accommodation in Florence - Great location, very central in Florence. In an old building but with all modern amenities. Check in early to put luggage was very welcome. Plus some refreshments are on display (cakes, fruits and sweets). The lady who welcomed us was very sympathetic! Nothing to report
- Zech (10/5): Exceptional -
- Franziska (9/5): Comfortable and clean room - Nice and cozy room close to the center. Easy to talk to the host. Clean facilities. Can be a bit loud due to the location for people with a light sleep.
- Lydia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Avaantika (10/5): What a lovely host in Fatima - so helpful and such a kind person. My bags were lost and it was a grueling business trip - Quaint and character
Well managed and central
I would stay here each time I traveled to Florence
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): Very nice room in a great location for exploring Florence. - Perfect location, clean and nice room which smelled lovely each time we walked in. Steep stairs which weren’t lit at night. Had to climb a few to reach the light switch.
- Aleah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tom (9/5): A nice little place in the middle of mad Florence - Small room only facility. They had provided a second aircon unit due to heat (very welcome). Modern room, comfortable bed. Steep stairs to get to the rooms.
