Guest Reviews
- Miguel (10/5): Habitación excelente - La ubicación era perfecta. Se podía ir andando a todos los lugares de interés
- Tatamitani (8/5): -
- Líria (8/5): Estada molt agradable, net, ubicació exel·lent i personal molt amable. Per repetir sense pensar-ho! - Situació exel·lent, personal molt amable. Edifici historic. Davant del Palau Pizzi. A prop de tot però sense el bullici del centre. Dutxa no sortira pressió de l’aigua, raig d’aigua molt fluix i per cabells llargs es un problema, però és un mal menor, tot lo altre compensa totalment.
- Gooders73 (10/5): - Location excellent and staff very helpful and friendly
- Madalina28 (8/5): -
- karla.bottcher (5/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Dziękuję bardzo za fantastyczny pobyt - Obiekt jest w rewelacyjnej lokalizacji, bardzo czysty, widok z pokoju na florenckie dachy. To wszystko jest ważne, ale najistotniejszy jest stosunek personelu do gości. Obaj panowie wykazują się ogromną troską jednocześnie nie narzucając się. Atmosfera, którą tworzą jest niepowtrzalna i powoduje, że chcę powrócić. Oceniam obiekt na 11 w skali do 10 😍
- Patricia (9/5): Great location in a wonderful historic building. Our room was beautifully presented. - Great location, opposite the Pitti Palace. A very comfortable room, beautifully presented. .
- John (9/5): Very pleased. Location is fantastic. Andrew very helpful. - Not applicable Nothing
- Alessia Ficicchia (8/5): -
- David (6/5): Simple, satisfactory accommodations. Host very helpful. - The location (across from Pitti Palace and just a few blocks from Ponte Vecchio) was perfect. The beds were very comfortable. There was an in-room coffee maker. There was no breakfast, only a discount to a cafe on the street. No food service of any kind. Minimal space for unpacking.

- Accademia (10/5): -
- Mehmet (7/5): Fena değil - Merkezi konumda olması güzeldi. Ulaşım kolay Oda küçük
- Elizabeth (10/5): -
- Elizabeth (10/5): Comfortable room, great location - A comfortable room in a great location for exploring the city, with welcoming and helpful hosts. It was my second stay here and I would happily return again. Having a fridge is a bonus in warm weather. There are plenty of places to dine and although the Residenza doesn’t do breakfast, a local cafe offers a discount and does excellent coffee and pastries. There is a small service lift which is useful with luggage. It’s all good
- Xavier (9/5): Una estada en Florencia genial - Ubicación, amabilidad de Andrew, limpieza Nada
- Mendez (8/5): - La ubicación nos ayudó a realizar todas los recorridos caminando. La atención al Check-in y Check-out, fue bastante buena.
- Michele (9/5): Posizione eccezionale e ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo - La struttura offre una soluzione alloggiativa molto buona. La stanza era spaziosa e pulita con molti confort (condizionatore, cassaforte, televisore a schermo piatto, bollitore). L'aspetto veramente eccezionale è la posizione, in Piazza Pitti. Rapporto qualità prezzo davvero buono. La colazione non è inclusa ma esiste una convenzione con un bar vicino.
- David (5/5): - The location was perfect! There was WiFi, and coffee and tea in the room, and a refrigerator (which was convenient), and a safe (the safe we didn't use). The bed was very comfortable. There was a common space, but no actual lobby where guests might hang out. The hosts were most friendly, accommodating and helpful. The room was a bit too small, with no desk and inadequate room to unpack. There was no breakfast, just a small discount to a cafe downstairs and a couple doors down.

- Valentina Claudia (8/5): -
- Silvia (10/5): Estancia perfecta en el corazón de Florencia - La ubicación es perfecta, estaba todo muy limpio y la atención de los anfitriones fue maravillosa. Nuestro vuelo se retrasó y esperaron varias horas por nosotras para hacer el check in
- Hanna (10/5): - Personal and very nice area and room. Very slow water in the shower, ok but I have short hair.
- Beatrice (10/5): -
- xuimei (10/5): -
- Martina (9/5): - Gentilezza e cortesia dell host, ottima posizione, residenza d epocal
- Patricia (10/5): - Great service, warming welcome, cozy stay, great location!
- Samuele (8/5): - Buono
- Silvia (8/5): - La posizione e la disponibilità dei gestori. Forse per un soggiorno più lungo la stanza sarebbe stata troppo piccola.
- Gareth (10/5): The hosts were super helpful and the location is fantastic. - A wonderful place to stay in a great location. I loved the modern amenities in a classic building.
- Susie S. (10/5): - La posizione è la struttura
- Isabella (10/5): Letto confortevole e caldo. Paola e Andrew molto disponibili e accoglienti - Sono stata nella suite ed è stato tutto perfetto . Grande e silenziosa N/a

- Lagona (10/5): -
- Isadora (10/5): - Os anfitriões são super gentis e atenciosos. Nos ajudaram a subir as malas, nos explicaram tudo com carinho, guardaram nossas malas no final por mais um tempo. O quarto é pequeno mas confortável, limpo e de colchas de cama maravilhosas.
- Carol (10/5): Great place to stay and handy for exploring Florence - Great location. Felt secure in the hotel which had comfortable beds and was very clean. Nothing
- Castro Pereira (8/5): -
- Natalie (10/5): Everything was wonderful! Would recommend. - Location - so central! Would love a little coffee machine instead of instant coffee
- Emily (8/5): Wonderful staff and great location - Great location. Very quiet despite central location. Wonderful staff who couldn’t be more helpful.
- Donald (8/5): Excellent stay - recommend this hotel if small rooms are not an issue. - Great location; fun elevator - having a lift in this part of town was deciding factor in choosing this property. Excellent hosts that run the property - went out of their way to help with bags & taxi. The rooms were small but typical for a 16th century building. Lots of storage to store bags. Shower plumbing could use a bit of maintenance, but it wasn’t a big deal.
- Alice (8/5): Piacevole perché comodo. - Posizione centralissima.
Staff cordiale e disponibile.
Qualità prezzo buona. Stanza piccola e un po’ datata.
Spalliera del letto cigolante ad ogni minimo movimento.
Mura molto sottili: si sentiva tutto dalle altre camere fino a tarda notte.
- Annick (7/5): - L’emplacement Trop cher
- Shegay (8/5): - В аппартаментах чисто, кровать очень удобная, все необходимое есть, очень тихое место, хотя вид с окна был не очень. В целом нормальные аппартаменты. Место расположение отличное. Обслуживание тоже хорошее. Помогли поднять чемоданы. Дом находится прям на площади, найти очень легко. Хозяева дают четкие инструкции. Лифт немного странный. Оценку поставила ниже, потому что были проблемы с горячей водой, не могли скупаться. Ну это возможно частный случай. В целом рекомендую.
- Vincent (7/5): -
- Debs (10/5): - Na Very helpful staff
- Bengü (9/5): - Nice & central location: The residence is a few minutes walk away from Porto Vecchio and all other tourist attractions. The room was very clean and comfortable, especially the bed was perfect for a good night rest. The owners were very nice and friendly. The shower could need some maintenance, but that was no problem for us.
- Elias (8/5): Schöner Aufenthalt - Die Lage war sehr gut, ist ein schönes Viertel. Die beiden Besitzer sind echt freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer wurden jeden Tag gereinigt Die Dusche war etwas undicht und der Druck zu wenig. Es ist mehr Wasser aus Duschkonstruktion als aus dem Duschkopf gekommen
- Sandra (10/5): We would not hesitate to stay here again . Hosts were lovely - The location was fantastic
The room very comfortable
nice linen Nothing
- Ral9006 (10/5): -
- Philip (9/5): Lovely. - The location was wonderful. We felt there was a lack of flexibility in timings - it’s not always possible to predict arrival times and we did feel pressured to conform to the hosts’ restrictions. We did have a lovely stay nevertheless.
- Sophia (8/5): -
- Bev (9/5): - Great location, very good facilities. Very friendly & helpful staff. Highly recommended.
- Sandra (8/5): - The room was extremely clean and the location fantastic.
- Lewi5 (10/5): Wonderful room, perfect location for exploring Florence - Fantastic location, lovely building and friendly hosts. Reasonable pricing. Would come again in a heartbeat. It was a little tricky to find, easy to miss when walking past.
- Agustin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kate (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tracey (9/5): Superb - This was a great place to stay just across the Ponte Vechhio opposite Palazzo Pitti. The room has a/c which was great because it was very hot while we were there. The directions were helpful and our host was actually waiting outside for us to be sure we found it okay. Really enjoyed our stay there. Nothing I can think of. If you struggle with stairs, there is a lift, but it is small and very slow. We don't mind stairs, but it would be something to consider for those who don't like them.
- Ece (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gary (10/5): Great Place! - Everything from when we were greeted at the front door when we arrived until the morning we left. Paola and Andrew were the PERFECT hosts and ever so kind to all of us. Any information or directions we needed were always kindly and thoroughly given. We hated to leave and will definitely stay again. Nothing!
- Haydn (10/5): Very central and comfortable -
- Cagkan (9/5): Superb -
- Thomas (8/5): Very happy with everything. - Nice property staff was attentive. Close to attractions, every thing we wanted it to be. Allowed us to keep suitcases there early before check in. Nothing, nice location and place.
- Rahul (10/5): Exceptional - - Location was superb and liked the luggage storage facility
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Natalia (8/5): Nice place, would stay again. - Nice view, convenient location Our room was on the top floor and we had to rely on the host to get our suitcases up there.
- Bardia (9/5): Everything was perfect - The host was super kind and the location was very good The elevator was really strange , so if you like me afraid of close spaces you should take 3 floors using stairs
- Holly (9/5): Superb - Paola and Andrew are SO lovely. They met us at the front of the property and helped us upstairs with our bags. They had the best list of recommendations for the area which was plentiful and led us to a lovely bar for meats & cheeses. The room was lovely with lots of character and a cute view. Location wise it's perfect, right near all the good food and drink and a short walk to the local attractions. Stronger water pressure would have been nice for a better shower and the shower could have been cleaner. We also prefer firm pillows so the option for a harder pillow would have suited us.
- Christina (10/5): Amazing! - We could not have been happier with our stay here. We had exceptional service and the location was amazing. Safe and walkable to everything we wanted to see. Also really great restaurants nearby. We hope to stay here again in the future and will absolutely be recommending to all our friends!
- Gilad (9/5): Amazing staff and service, amazing location, large room - overall a great value for money - Coming from Trastevere, Rome - the silence was amazing even when we were in a central location
The staff was really amazing and helped us with the luggage.
Room was also quite spacious The water pressure was not really good and we had a day or two where the water were not that hot.
Also, I do realize the building is VERY old but there was mold in the bathroom
- John (10/5): First class place for Firenze - Excellent position, accommodation and hospitality. Lovely. Ideal for exploring beautiful Firenze.
- Mona (7/5): Good - Room a little small, good location, friendly staff
- Eva (8/5): Very good -
- Colin (9/5): Superb -
- Stephen (10/5): Perfect location - View across three views of the city Maybe an English News channel on TV
- William (6/5): Pleasant -
- Jian (9/5): Would recommend definitely! - Perfect location makes you wonder the history of this hotel. The hosts are welcoming and super nice. Comfortable bed and nice ambience. The bathroom is small and has slippery risks, particularly the stair from shower area to basin is potentially risky for elderly I guess.
- Laura (10/5): Little piece of heaven - I stayed in the room shown in the picture and it was a little bit of heaven. Everything was high quality and well renovated. Wonderful hosts. Nothing
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (9/5): Superb - Location was great for what we wanted to do and the hosts were very helpful and knowledgeable. Only small thing was the loo seat was loose. We didn't mention it as we were only there one night
- Lynne (9/5): Superb -
- Johnson (8/5): Very good -
- Robert (8/5): Excellent value for a comfortable stay with gracious hosts. - We really appreciated the kindness and helpfulness of Andrew and Paola during our stay. Andrew even offered to take our notebook to a nearby shop to try and find the right charging cable. The location was great, right across from the Pitti Palace, in a quieter area, but still within comfortable walking distance of the main attractions. Everything was very clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable. Shower was a little small, but understandable in an older building.
- Wahl (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giacomo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Adam (8/5): Great location, lovely building, comfortable bed. - Excellent locations, lovely old building, really friendly staff. It was a wonderful place and we would definitely recommend. We will be back. Room is a little on the small side, but perfectly fine for a couple of nights.
- Simon (10/5): Perfect - We stayed in the top room and couldn’t have wanted anything better, good views and a good amount space The shower head could’ve been a little higher as I’m 6’1 and had to duck slightly to get in but no real issue.
- Janet (8/5): Great location and lovely hosts - Great location
Lovely hosts ,very informative
Very clean and bed comfy
Tea & coffee in room ( 1st time in Italy) Very noisy at night as we had window open ( there was AC but I don’t like it)
Lots of stairs and keys
- Viktória (10/5): Perfect base for Firenze sightseeing - The rooms are in an old building just across Palazzo Pitti, there is a bus stop there, the old city center is a short walk away, there are several restaurants and a big supermarket nearby.
The staff was very nice and helpful, we could check into our room already in the morning when we arrived, which was very helpful. The room was perfectly clean (there is daily cleaning), the bed was very comfortable which is always a big + in our book. :)
There was complimentary coffee, tea and mineral water in the room, restocked daily.
We loved staying there, it was close enough to the sights to just go "home" during the day for a quick rest or change. Heating with the air conditioner did not work.
- David (9/5): We like this location very much. It was very clean and the communication was good. - The property was clean and very well organized. The communication was good. Being expected to leave your room, so the cleaning crew could get in for 12 was a little inconvenient.
- Julia (10/5): Excellent residence in order to discover Florence. - Exzellent Location opposite of Palazzo Pitti, a three minutes walk to Ponte Vecchio. Very nice and helpful hosts, we had a huge room, nicely decorated and clean. Will come back! Nothing
- Robyn (10/5): We loved our stay and would definitely book again and recommend it to family and friends. - We loved the location of this property as it was close to lots of restaurants and cafes as well as a short walk to the highlights of Florence. There was a separate shared lounge area with lots of interesting books to read. The lift was very tiny and slow but it was fine. We weren’t in any hurry and it was better than climbing up three flights of stairs.
- Juliette (8/5): Very good -
