- Pasquale (10/5): Perfetto - Tutto , Mariano il proprietario di questo b&b è una persona eccezionale disponibile e premurosa.
Camera calda, pulita e accogliente.
Io B&B è collocato in un punto strategico soprattutto per chi deve andare allo stadio , ma allo stesso tempo non è molto lontano dal centro (20-25 min a piedi)
- Roberto (10/5): Super - Host davvero accogliente e cordiale, struttura pulitissima e calda. Ottima posizione E’ stato tutto perfetto
- Marco Boscarato (10/5): Esperienza ottima. - Mariano è un ospite speciale e attentissimo. Consiglio caldamente il soggiorno qui. Nulla.

- Elena (10/5): - Mariano ottimo host, super gentile e disponibile. Ci ha subito consigliato come arrivare in centro, dove andare a mangiare, e tutto il resto.
La posizione é ottima, il centro é a una 20 di min a piedi ma comunque la via per arrivare là è bella e piena di negozi. Inoltre, posizione ottima anche per arrivare al teatro Cartiere Carrara (motivo del nostro soggiorno), 10 minuti a piedi.
Insomma, tutto perfetto !!
- Maria (10/5): Ci tornerei volentieri,magari stare qualche giorno in più. - La disponibilità dell horst
La camera era pulita e spaziosa.
La struttura è vicino il Centro Storico.

- DARIO (10/5): -
- Silvia (10/5): - Stanza molto ampia e comoda, bagno caldo e confortevole, tutto pulitissimo. Colazione ricca. Ambiente accogliente, ci si sente a casa. Posizione ottima per noi, che siamo andati a un concerto al teatro Cartiere Carrara. Ma anche relativamente vicino al centro, raggiungibile con una gradevole passeggiata.
- Desideria (10/5): Mariano super disponibile, accogliente e di aiuto! - Camera ampia, nuovissima e ben arredata. Ottima posizione per esplorare han zona di Firenze che non conoscevo. -
- Chiara (1/5): - Avevo prenotato questo B&B con largo anticipo, ma alle 15 (nonostante la possibilità di check-in dalle 14) sono stata contattata (tramite mail) per essere informata che la struttura aveva effettuato un overbooking e che quindi la mia prenotazione non poteva essere onorata.
Mi sono trovata all’ultimo momento senza un posto dove dormire, dicendomi che il proprietario aveva provato a provvedere lui ad un’altra sistemazione ma senza successo e che me ne sarei dovuta occupare io.
Trovo questo comportamento molto poco professionale e scorretto nei confronti dei clienti, soprattutto considerando che la prenotazione era stata confermata, pagata e garantita.
Consiglio vivamente di prestare attenzione prima di prenotare: la gestione delle prenotazioni è stata del tutto inaffidabile.

- Federica (6/5): Per una sola notte - Mariano è un host davvero disponibile e gentile. Ancora mi dispiaccio per averlo svegliato presto la mattina della nostra partenza, poichè avevamo lasciato il cellulare in camera. E' stato davvero cortese e molto comprensivo.
La posizione della camera faceva al caso nostro ed il prezzo onesto. Avevamo bisogno di un letto per una sola notte. Purtroppo di contro devo ammettere che le foto riguardanti "ampia camera matrimoniale", non risultano dettagliate ed infatti nella realtà è un tantino diversa. Il mobilio logoro e odore e persistente di fumo di sigaretta, come se le pareti ne fossero impregnate. Decisamente non piacevole, soprattutto considerando che non siamo fumatori.
Di certo non prenoterei nuovamente questa tipologia di camera.
- Diego (10/5): - Posizione ottima, camera comoda e pulita, host super disponibile e gentile. Consigliata al 100%
- Nicole (10/5): -
- Hannah (9/5): Definitely recommend! - Easy access to the bus system which would lead straight into the city. The room had plenty of space and the bathroom was clean. The owner went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and supported, helping where needed The actual bed frame was very weak and falling apart
- Ekaterina (10/5): Exceptional - Mariano was very friendly and has recommended us plenty of things to visit and eat! The apartment is nice and clean, we enjoyed our stay -
- Mark (9/5): We have a new friend and highly recommend the place! - We absolutely loved the charismatic and friendly host. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was very convenient at the little cafe down the way and you could chose what you liked. Very enjoyable experience, highly recommend! The beds were a little hard and the first night the sheets were cotton. After the beds were made, the pillowcases were not cotton and I’m a fabric diva so this wasn’t great for me, lol!
- Guilherme (10/5): Exceptional - Mariano is a very good host.
- Hugo (9/5): Superb -
- Eric (10/5): Will certainly return! - very pleasant stay...owner very accommodating with extra requests......breakfast was perfect.....
- Takumi (8/5): Very good - The location is good and the room is very clean.
Also, the staff is very friendly and kind.
- Maryann (9/5): Comfortable and pleasant stay - Spacious and airy room, comfortable beds and pillows, excellent water pressure for the shower. Mariano the host was super helpful and did everything to make our stay a pleasant one. The property is far from the historic center. It can be reached by bus but the bus route had a detour skipping a stop closest to the B&B.
- Samantha (10/5): Absolutely brilliant - The owner was very nice, gave me restauranttips with discount and fabulous food, the room was very big and the facilities clean and exactly what you need. It is a bit outside of the center but there are two busses very close by, and that gives you a quiet, safe neighbourhood at night but the ease of being in the city in 10 min.
- Irisinviaggio (10/5): Like a stay at a friend's house. A wonderful and friendly place. - Il Tabernacolo is like staying at a friend's home. It reminded me of my student times in Florence. The owner, Mariano, is super nice, cheerful and extremely helpful. There is no self-check-in, which we liked, since we got to chat with him. Check-in is until 10pm which was perfect for us, since we arrived late by train. Mariano waited for us outside and was so lovely that we immediately forgot that we were tired and had made a long journey. The rooms are simple but tasteful, extremely clean and the beds are very comfortable. (To get into the shower might be a little difficult for those who are short or not that agile, it is a big step up, but that just depends. And the apartment is on the second floor, so just be aware that there are stairs.) The breakfast is in the kitchen, with lovingly prepared Italian coffee-makers on the stove, a fridge with all essentials and friendly laid tables. If you think there is something missing, there are two cafés almost opposite where you can buy croissants and a supermarket around the corner. The area is safe, calm and not very touristy, so there is still normal Florentine life, which is hard to find in the centre of the city. There are buses no.14 and 6, that bring you right to the center and Santa Maria Novella station. The station of Firenze Campo di Marte, where many regional trains stop, is in walking distance. The fresco of the Last Supper by Andrea del Sarto in San Salvi, which is a wonderful place off the beaten track, is around the corner. In about 10/15 minutes you can reach the Sant'Ambrogio and Santa Croce area. The river with some lovely bars on its banks is just 7 minutes on foot. If you like walking, it is lovely to follow the Arno and walk into the centre. We were delighted to find such a down to earth and friendly place and would definitely come back. Thank you!!! We had a wonderful, wonderful stay. Nothing.
- Lan (10/5): Highly recommended, I’ll definitely book here again if travel back! - Everything was provided, as well as tips and recommended restaurants for traveling in Florence. Really enjoyed staying there for several nights
- Ayshan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kevin (9/5): Host Mariano was exceptional !....great effort to make us comfortable....highly recommend ! -
- Kasra (10/5): Exceptional -
- Liam (10/5): Great place to stay in Florence - Breakfast was simple but fine.
Room was very very clean and spacious.
Mariano who runs the bnb was superb, possibly the best host I've come across. Anything we needed he would help with!
About a 30-35min walk to center of Florence but a lively walk through the pleasant streets or along the riverbank. If you prefer not to walk then there was regular buses. Nothing- would recommend to anyone!
- Hamit (10/5): Superhost and Perfect Spot - Super friendly host that takes care everything. Don't even hesitate to chose this place for your vacation in Florence.
The place is located in a nice neighborhood. A lot of cafes/bakeries nearby. Nothing.
- Seyed (10/5): In a nutshell, awesome. - Such a nice host, Mariano. 😍😍 I liked this guy. He is kind and he explained everything in different ways! The room was really clean and quite. It has also the kitchen that is full of everything which are free such as juice, water, tea, cake, etc. We had a great time there. If I will come back to Italy, for sure I would go to this place again❤️🌹
- Jose (9/5): Superb - The receptionist
- Michal (9/5): Superb - The owner is extremely nice and helpful. He is full of advice and tips regarding Florence. The room is nice size and very clean. Nice neighbourhood. I would highly recommend this place, good value for money. The location is a bit far from the main city atractions, so it's either about 30 min walk, or a bus.
- Michał (10/5): Mariano is the best guy! - The stay at B&B IL TABERNACOLO was most enjoyable. The hospitality, smile and kindness of Mariano (the owner) made us feel almost at home. The check-in process went very smoothly.
The place was very clean (including the private bathroom), everything was in its place and kept tidy. The room is quiet, you can sleep well and relax there. The location is very good: there is a minimarket and several restaurants nearby, tabaccheria on the opposite side of the street (you can buy bus tickets there) and close to the bus stop.
In the shared kitchen, we were served delicious Italian coffee, tea and snacks for breakfast before going out into the city.
Mariano's tips on the area and visiting the city (bus connections, bar and restaurant recommendations, etc.) were also very practical. I definitely recommend the owner and his venue :)
- Lawrence (10/5): Mariano was a wonderful host. Very warm, gracious, kind, and helpful. He takes much pride in the B&B -
- Matteo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catalina (10/5): Everything was awsome, clean and Mariano is very friendly amd helpful with a lot of informations . We are coming back so -
- Adrian (10/5): Florence is worth the trip - Location outside of the tourist center was pleasant as it allowed to relax a bit, the walk to all the hotspots is nice and leads along a street with many bars, restaurants and little shops/boutiques not overrun by tourists.
The host is super friendly, helpful and always present.
Excellent breakfast at the bar/cafe opposite the residence.
Highly recommend and outstanding value for money.
- Dalaide (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lane (10/5): Everything was amazing! - Amazing and super friendly (!!!) host Mariano who provided tons of useful information about the area.
Quiet and cozy place within a walking distance to the historical centre. Air-conditioned!
Bus stops around the corner. Lots of shops and cafés around. One of the groceries nearby worked in the weekend.
Very recommended!
- Sebastian (10/5): Stop scrolling and book this place, no way there is a better one in Florencia. - Mariano will make sure that you spend a good time in Florencia! Most dedicated host we had in our life. All perfect.
- Christoph (10/5): An unforgettable way to experience Italian hospitality! - If you visit Florence, stay there! It was absolutely amazing. The room is cosy, clean and you have everything there that you could possibly need. We received a lot of information about Florence, how to get around, where to go … could not ask for more.
- Ruth (10/5): Fantastic host, beautifully appointed rooms and attentive service - The host, Mariano, was like a relative who lived locally in Florence. He was the best source for the best bus to catch, always attentive to details and helped with luggage up 2 flights of stairs. I also loves the coffee he prepared for us each morning. There isn’t much to not like about this place.
- Del (10/5): Exceptional - Mariano was great. This has been by far the best place we have stayed in, in Italy. Everything was super clean, you could tell as soon as you entered the room. Mariano gave us great suggestions when it came to places to visit and how to get around, and also places to eat. We will definitely recommend this place to family and friends, and we will definitely stay here again when we return to Florance. Thanks once again Mariano for everything!!!!
- Doug (9/5): Very pleasant, clean and economical B&B. - The host Marianno went out of his way to help us with travel issues. The room was spacious and very clean and at a very good price. The breakfast food was very basic. Accommodation on the third floor with no elevator can be a problem for older people although Mariano did carry our luggage to the third floor.
- Michael (10/5): Great place for travellers on a budget who like to walk through the town - The host, Mariano, was very welcoming and non-intrusive. He was genuinely kind and eager to provide information about the local area, and was always available to answer any questions via messenger.
The room was kept very clean, and amenities such as laundry and drinks in the communal kitchen space were provided free of charge.
While you may occasionally hear others in the halls, the soundproofing between rooms was excellent.
Major locations, such as the Uffizi and Pitti galleries, are a somewhat long but manageable walking distance away, eased by the scenic walk along the river - but public transport is also easily accessible.
There are a few quality restaurants and convenience stores nearby - which, like the room, were very reasonably priced. The street can be a bit noisy at night, and the air conditioning at times struggles to keep up with the summer heat, but the quality of the service provided by the host more than makes up for it - especially considering the reasonable pricing.
- Mary (10/5): Exceptional -

- Kravchenko (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diana (9/5): We had a great time at Mariano‘s place - Mariano’s place was super clean and lovely. Mariano was really friendly and helpful. There wasn’t anything we disliked. It was really hot when we were there and hard to cool off despite the air con.
- Go (10/5): Excellent! - We stayed for 3 nights. The owner keeps our room clean and makes sure that we are comfortable. He is also easy to communicate with especially when we have needs. Also, the location of the property is close to bus stations which is very convenient for travellers. None
- Emma (10/5): Beautiful Hotel - Highly recommend if you're staying in Florence! - We stayed in two different hotels in Florence and this by far was the best! For starters, our host was so welcoming and lovely. He made sure to give exact directions on how to get to the hotel without even asking. On arrival, he also gave us a plethora of recommendations on what to do and see in Florence, and made sure we knew he was there if we had any questions. Honestly went above and beyond and we wish we had stayed here our entire trip! The actual room was beautiful and SO clean, the aircon was turned on for our arrival, and the bed was very comfy!! We love boutique-style hotels and can promise you won't be disappointed with this one. Also so many lovely local restaurants nearby!! Thanks for such an enjoyable end to our trip Mariano :)
- Alireza (9/5): beautiful place with an excelllent host - host is very kind and helpful.
The room was very clean and well organized.
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional -
- Beata (10/5): Exceptional -
- Darcie (10/5): EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN! - I was greeted by the owner's wife, whom was so gracious. She even carried my bags up the staircase, which after a horrendous day at Paris Airport (adding 9 hours to a 24 hour trip) she was a blessing in disguise! The room was exceptionally clean, the bathroom looked like it had been installed that day, like new! It is very simple, but to grab a shower and crash, it is perfect!
Marieno arranged my taxi to get to the train and as we waited he told me about the history of the building, the fabulous painting adjacent from his building, The Tabernacle of the Canto della Cuculia, where via dei Serragli meets via Santa Monaca, protected by a stone temple and the painting "Madonna and Child, Saint Paul and Saint Jerome" by Lorenzo di Bicci painted in the early 24th century. Hence the name of B & B Tabernacle. It was interesting and just the very thought of how long these buildings have been in place! A wonderment! The staircase, but since I didn't haul my bags, I can't complain, except for a bum knee! LOL
- Brittney (10/5): Exceptional -
- Roger (10/5): Perfect stay in Fiorentina - Mariano, our host was Brilliant. He was most welcoming and gave us loads of very useful information. The room and facilities were first rate. We only had coffee in the morning as we left early to get out and about
- Ioanna (10/5): Amazing host, cozy and clean rooms, great value for money !!! - We spent a night at B&B Il TABERNACOLO and we really couldn’t be happier with our choice. As we arrived we were greeted warmly by the host who explained everything, gave us directions and recommendations, and showed us our room. The room was clean, very big, and warm. We were worried about the location but our worries had no ground as many buses are arriving and departing from the area near the hotel. Our host answered every question we had and was very fast even in our online communication. Also, I want to share an experience we had that proves how great of a choice of accommodation is B&B Il TABERNACOLO.We lost one of our passports and didn’t know what to do as we would depart the next day .The host was so good and fast at helping us ,we were so relieved. He gave us instructions of what to do and called us a taxi so we can go search for the passport that arrived very quickly .Needless to say ,we believe that B&B Il TABERNACOLO brought us luck as we have the passport in our hands . The next morning, we were pleasantly surprised with freshly brewed coffee and pastries. Also ,the accommodation has only stairs(not that many) but the host helped us with our suitcases so don’t worry about that ! It is pretty close to the station Firenze Campo Marte so if you want to have a day trip like we did ,it’s amazing ! If life brings us back to Florence better hope B&B Il TABERNACOLO has free rooms because we would like to repeat our stay 100 times !
- Sandy (10/5): Unforgetable experience thanks to Mariano! - We had an amazing trip thanks the owner who helps us in everything we need. The attention is excellent and the room is amazing, big, confortable and super clean! Mariano we will always remember you!
I highly recomend It.
- Tomáš (10/5): Exceptional -
- Florencia (10/5): Exceptional - Mariano was very helpful! He owns the building and takes care of everything himself. He made sure we had the roomiest bedroom, since we were staying for several nights, made coffee for his guests every morning and answered all our questions, even helped us get a taxi on our last morning. I would definitely recommend staying here, even though it is not so close to the city center, the walk there is lovely and Mariano's helpfulness is worth it.
- Toon (9/5): Superb -
- Astrid (10/5): Exceptional - Mariano is so kind, super friendly and cooperative, he helped us to carry our heavy bags up to stairs and give us some advice about restaurants and how to use the bus system, the room was clean and clear and beds were confy. Nothing
- María (10/5): Unfortunately, it was a short stay but it was enough to spend a good night, in a beautiful place, with a really nice hos - Everything was really clean and also really beautiful.
The room is so comfortable and calm, ideal to take a good rest. Moreover, Mariano is a really nice person, he did everything to help us.
- Yafen (10/5): a very welcoming stay in Firenze - super clean and the host is very friendly and helpful. It’s a little walk from city center but there are so many bars and shops on the way so you never feel bored on the street. nothing I can complain.
- Saurabh (10/5): Belissimo - mariano was amazing host, helped us a lot. Good location and exceptionally clean room.
- Stoian (10/5): Exceptional -

- Amalie (10/5): Very nice place. One of the best - Very nice place. One of the best on our trip. So easy to check in and the owner was so helpful.
