Guest Reviews
- Tino (8/5): Excellent hospitality and location - Charming place to stay. Excellent location for visiting the main sights of Florence. The stairs may be a challence to visitors of older age.
- Jane (8/5): - Hotel was clean and conveniently located. As stated in property description, you enter up a long stair case and there is no one present to help with luggage. Room was comfortable, however bathroom door was unable to be pushed completely open, making it difficult to move around it. Towels were not changed until requested and shower was thin plastic walls that frequently came off the tracks.
- Richard (10/5): - The carpet in the room is a bit worn. But the room is very spacious. The noise level is not too bothersome except for the garbage trucks in the morning.
- Janice (10/5): - Family-owned and operated. Limited rooms. Everyday they sent a message with suggestions to make the visit to Florence more memorable. Loved that they offered morning coffee take away at a local 4 star restaurant. Great opportunity to sample the offerings. It was thrilling to see 1600s paintings in the museums and could see the same little walk way to the Uffizi represented in those pictures. Perfect spot to pivot and visit all the must-see sights in Firenze! Will definitely be going back. Only challenge are the 2 flights of steep stairs to get to the living areas.
- Geir Olav (10/5): - Everything clean and proper. Italian breakfast means a cup of cofee and a brioche in a bar near by. No reception, but the concierge is easy to reach and very friendly. Very central situated.
- yahong (10/5): - The location is perfect! Near to the attractions.
- Christina (10/5): - Communication with the owner was exceptionally helpful
- Emile Georges (10/5): - Great place to stay in Firenze, central location, walkable distance to all historical sites, shopping and dining. Clean room and comfortable bed.
- Pearl (10/5): - A great place to stay, within easy walking distance to so many wonderful places.
- philip (10/5): - Leonardo greeted us the 1st day and made us feel so welcomed. Excellent location walking distance to all museums and galleries
- Guadalupe (10/5): - Excellent ubicacion đź‘Ť
- Karren (8/5): - The place is very central, room is good and love all the tips provided by the crew.
- Laura (10/5): - I loved the location of this property. The host was helpful and always responded back to me quickly in WhatsApp. The only negative is that the room is on the 2nd floor and the window faces what I believe is a dumpster area. This makes for very loud mornings when trash is being collected. Bring ear plugs. The tickets for breakfast for the cutest little shop around the corner. Very nice!
- Stephanie (10/5): A wonderful stay - Wonderful stay close to all attractions. Host could not have been more helpful thank you!
- ADELA (10/5): - Great location!
- Sevgi (8/5): - First of all, the hotel's location was incredible. Right in the center of Florence, just a one- or two-minute walk from everywhere. It was very kind of Silvano to reach out and provide information about the city. For breakfast, coffee and a croissant are served standing at a stylish bar. As a negative comment, I would mention that the room faced a restaurant. There is no daylight in the room, and noise and smells come from the restaurant. Overall, I would say the hotel and rooms could use a bit of maintenance.
- Fem (8/5): Nice Hotel - Overall, it was a very good stay. The concierge, Silvano, was AMAZING from beginning to end!! His email greetings, communication, and instructions we exceptional. The accommodations were nice for the hotel - the room itself was very nice, clean, but pretty small. It was a bit difficult to keep our luggage open. The only other negative note was the noise late into the night from the restaurant below. There was a lot of kitchen noise that we could hear each night. Thank you for a nice stay, though.
- EDUARDO (10/5): - Property is a REAL taste of the essence of Florence. Perfect location centrally located and close to everything. Our host Silvano is at another level with not only service but recommendations, historical expertise and admirable humilty. He truly made our stay an amazing experience. Eduardo
- Nicole (10/5): - Unique and charming old building in the heart of the old town.The room was spacious, extremely clean and tidy.The bed was soft and pillows comfortable.A very large bathroom with a bath. Bar fridge stocked with drinks at an additional cost. With the windows open it was lovely to hear the opera singing from the square in the early evening.A stones throw from many restaurants and next door to the uffizi gallery.Walking distance to all major attractions. Side note-There are 16 marble steps to negotiate as you enter the residence.The door opens right onto the steps so getting your luggage inside can be tricky.Once you reach the top of these a lift services the other floors.Might be a bit hard for elderly people or those who have mobility issues. Definitely recommended Casa Uffizi if your looking for an authentic ambience to your stay in Florence.
- Vishal Kumar (10/5): - Rooms are neat & clean. Location is the best point as it’s in the heart of the touristic sites. Any thing & everything to see is maximum within 50m to 1km. The only thing is that you need to teach the first floor by stairs as elevator starts from the first floor reception. There is no proper breakfast though they have tie up with one cafe which serve you one brioche & coffee of your choice. Owner Silvano is very friendly & send tips on sites to see, restaurants & other recommendations.
- Adam (10/5): - Very easy check-in process. Beautiful property.
- Jan Bonde (10/5): Fantastisk beliggenhed - Fantastisk beliggenhed. Dejligt, rent og rummeligt værelse til tre personer. Nærvær og høj service fra vært via whats app. Vil gerne bo her igen.
- Eric (10/5): - Great stay. Worth the money and location.
- MP (10/5): Perfect Stay - Silvano was very friendly and helpful. He contacted me a week prior to arriving, fill all my details online in, and I knew exactly where to go when we arrived. He also checked in every morning via Whatsapp and asked if we needed help and gave ideas what to do for the day. We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect
- Elizabeth (10/5): - This property was incredibly situated for our three day stay in Florence where we walked everywhere. The room was charming and comfortable. Our host went above and beyond to provide daily updates with dining and exploration details and tips. This was a fabulous stay that we recommend to anyone looking to explore the wonders of Florence!
- Lilia (10/5): - El lugar está en una de las ubicaciones más bonitas e importantes,justo en la plaza de la signoria, la anfitriona siempre amable y atenta dando recomendaciones,sin duda súper recomendable!
- Marty (8/5): - Amazing patio and room-breakfasts (paid) each morning ❤️🇮🇹👍
- James (10/5): - Sleeping in a B&B Hotel that is centuries old (800 years I believe) and is a part of a World UNESCO Heritage site just adds to the historical Florentine experience.
- Waltraud (8/5): - Lage gut, sehr central, 35 Stufen bis zum Zimmer, meine Freundin ist gehbehindert. Für ältere Menschen nicht geeignet , trotz Aufzug und Treppenlift konnten wir diese nicht benutzen, da wir keine Bedienungsanleitung kennen, z. B. der Aufzug bleibt stehen? Was uns am meisten gestört hat, dass kein Ansprechpartner da war. Die Kommunikation war englisch, ich kann kein Englisch. Die letzten WhatsApp kamen dann in Deutsch.
- Andreea (2/5): - We like the location. However the description was grossly overly stated. It wasn’t a boutique hotel it was more like a college dorm room.There was no receptionist on the premiss. The room had a musty and mildew smell. Breakfast was included in price, but it was a coffee and donut served at a corner bar and you had to stand up. Also there was No TV in the room. The room was invested with mosquitos . Overall we were very disappointed in the experience . The property did not meet our expectations. The marketing hype was over promised and under delivered .
- Peter (10/5): - Location was fantastic and property manager could not do enough for us and gave us helpful suggestions about what to visit every day. He also provided gift vouchers to a coffee shop that had out of this world pastries and cakes! Highly recommend this hotel!
- Veerle (8/5): - Jammer dat ons raam uitgaf op een vieze koer die vol stond met afvalcontainers en dat er tot laat veel lawaai was van de keuken van een restaurant. Er waren wel oordopjes maar hierdoor kon er geen raam open
- Matthew (10/5): - Basic but functional and comfortable, and perfectly located adjacent to the Uffizi. All communication is through WhatsApp with the owner which worked really well - super responsive, helpful, lots of top tips. Spotlessly clean. Highly recommended
- Masashi (10/5): Very kind of hotels - Hotel owner was so kind, he can help each times. With WhatsApp can we clear most problem.
- David (10/5): - Located just off Piazza Signoria, perfect for exploring central Florence, this charming property was just what we wanted. The only thing to be aware of is the narrow flight of sixteen stairs to get to the first floor; from there a lift will get you and your luggage to higher floors.
- SYLVIE (10/5): - L emplacement est EXCEPTIONNEL..Bien que difficile a trouver pour option Taxi! L accueiln estpas Virtuel Mais REEL ET SINCERE!!!C est d une proprete absolue / Literie tresconfortable (ns,qui avonsl habitude d etre en HOTEL!)L endroit est incroyablement bien place..et ns sommes pris en charge de maniere EXCEPTIONNELLE
- Michelle (10/5): - Sylvano was very attentive and responsive to our enquiries. Every day, he thoughtfully shared good ideas for enjoying Florence's hidden gems. We will definitely be back, for the excellent customer service, and beautiful and safe accomodations. The location is excellent: right next to the Uffizi gallery! Also, the complimentary breakfast at Riviero was elegant and convenient.
- Thomas (10/5): - This boutique hotel is in a perfect location. Very historic building built in the 13 th century!! Not your typical hotel! Very quaint accommodations, but just so amazing! We loved every minute of our stay. So very convenient to everything we wanted to see. Thank you!! Gracie mille!!
- NILTON (10/5): - Foi ótima. Excelente localização. Tudo perfeito. Se a pessoa ja tem dificuldades na mobilidade não aconselho por causa da escada.
- Melissa (10/5): - Very old historic building. Perfect location for walking around Florence. Comfortable bed. The only issues were minor and addressed immediately. It is worth noting is that we never saw a human employee; however everything was cleaned daily, and the concierge responded very quickly to WhatsApp messages and was incredibly helpful. They sent us recommendations of what to do every day. We already had an intinerary, but we did see a few things we wouldn't have without the recommendation. We thought the service was fantastic, but I mention it because I can see this being a deal breaker for my boomer parents.
- Jason (10/5): - Convenient location, easy access and great communication from the owner.
- Anne Louise (10/5): - Host was very friendly, very happy with the stay at Casa Uffizi
- Jamey (8/5): - The communication with these guys was great. Very walkable to a lot of the main attractions nearby.
- Diane (8/5): - The hotel is wonderfully located. It is in the beating heart of the old city. So much to see and do, and the owner of the hotel has wonderful suggestions for enjoyment of the city sights.
- Denise (10/5): - The hotel is conveniently located. The owners are extremely helpful and checks in on their guests during the stay. They even share their family's heritage in owning this 13th C building with us. Don't bother with having breakfast included though as it is only a croissant and cappuccino in a nearby fancy restaurant. Get your own, especially if one is used to English breakfasts.
- Anthony (8/5): - This is a great location. The room was large and comforable. However there are a number of disadvantages a) The building is not accessible by taxi - the street is too narrow but you can get within a few minutes walking distance; b) The check-in time is 5pm. Most other accomodations are 2pm which is much more conveniant c) The street can be quite noisy at night - this didn't really bother us but has bothered other patrons.
- David (10/5): Perfect location in Florence - Great stay at casa Uffizi perfect location for all the sights room small but good sized bathroom never met the host everything done by pin pad and wattsapp but every message was answered immediately and actually felt had more interaction than if the host was there breakfast was across the square just a coffee and pastry at the bar but they got to know us and were very friendly
- Angelo (10/5): - First time at this hotel. Theres no reception or front desk but we had Silvano guide us all the way from booking to showing up. This was better than a front desk. He was like an Angel watching over you when needed. We text him and bang he was right on it. We had no issues with this location, and wanted to be in the centre of things. I would recommend and stay here again.
- Julie (10/5): - Excellent location to easily get to all the sights. Lots of restaurants nearby. 20 mins by taxi from the airport (25 Euros). Good communication with the owner. Great hotel for a city break.
- Jon (10/5): - Perfect location Old property but room was nice Has air con and bathroom was excellent condition Difficult to find But fantastic location close to all main attractions
- Veesh (8/5): - The location is the best. Just two minutes away from Uffizi gallery. The owner is very kind person. You will be well looked after.
- Pamela (10/5): - If you want to experience life in the center of Firenze, this is the place to be! This three-hundred-year-old home has been converted into a charming B&B just two minutes from the Piazza della Signoria. It's well-hidden, but there is a restaurant in the same single-lane "street" just a few steps from the front door. Other cafes, trattorias, etc. are just a short walk in the opposite direction. This facility is nestled close to the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery (both are around 5 minutes away on foot). Allantico Vanaio (the famous eatery with huge panini-style sandwiches) is about a 7-minute walk from the front door of the hotel. Shopping at the leather market is minutes away as well. You can also walk to the Duomo and the Academia Gallery (where the original David is located) within about 15 minutes on foot. The room was large, with a sitting area/sofa, and king-sized bed. There was a lovely armoire for hanging your close. The bathroom was huge by (European hotel standards) and was appointed with a bidet, towel warmer, shower (with bathtub), sink, and a small vanity plus mirror. The AC works well! The quirky elevator was easy--if odd--to operate. It never stalled on us during our visit. The stairs to get to the first level are STEEP, but there is a chair lift for those requiring accommodations. We loved opening the shutter-style windows to look out over the street below and watch people pass. STAY HERE, it's a lovely space with a perfect location!
- Maria lucia (10/5): Excelent location! - The steps! But there is a lifter for the upper levels, don’t worry!
- Wana (10/5): Casa Uffizi is amazing - Casa Uffizi is an amazing location, love our stay there.
- Nataliya (10/5): - Perfect location. It is located on small street just 30-40 steps from Piazza della Signoria ( seriously). Everything you would want to visit is in 6 -13 min. walking distance. Great concierge service. Because, there is no concierge on site, I was wondering how communication via text will work. It was absolutely wonderful. I got suggestion on thing to do, all questions answered right away, all my needs were sutisfied in no time. I am in my 60th and was traveling solo, so safety was a concern. Don't worry. I felt totally safe all the time, even waiting for taxi at 3am on the piazza . I would highly recommend this hotel. Thank you so much for making my stay comfortable and pleasant!
- Steve (10/5): - 6 stars out of 5 for location. Directions for access were complicated but clear (and essential). Overall a great contribution to a wonderful stay in Florence.
- Kathleen (10/5): Comfortable stay in the midst of historic Florence - We loved our stay in this historic building just off the historic Piazza della Signoria! It's a little unconventional in that all communication is by email and text and you may never see the proprietor. But that made it a bit more quaint! And truly the location was awesome!! We loved walking through the Piazza at all times of day as we came and went from our room. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was available from a local restaurant just across the piazza; every croissant or other sweet and our cappuccinos were delicious. One evening we ate at the restaurant closest to our building. Another evening it was pouring rain...it wasn't fit to be out and about, so we stayed in and relaxed (which was nice as it was exactly halfway through our trip so the downtime was nice). We would definitely stay there again!
