About

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 13:30 to 17:30, which may be tight if your arrival in Florence runs late.
- No on-site parking — There is no parking at the property, so you’ll rely on public lots or drop-offs in the Oltrarno area.
- Away from the main center — While close to Pitti, the B&B is a 15-20 minute walk from Ponte Vecchio and the main tourist hub, which some guests find a little far.
- Basic facilities — Rooms and amenities are modest – no gym, bar, or restaurant – and comfort and facilities scores are the lowest categories at 8.1.

8.8Verified guest“Everything was lovely. Edoardo is incredibly friendly and always reachable if you need anything. His mother is kind too. The breakfast is generous for Italy — fresh fruit, hot dishes, pastries, juices, tea, and coffee. The coffee is particularly good. There were nice little extras, like a bottle of homemade wine in our room. Soundproofing was solid, and for this price, it might be one of the best options in Florence.”
8.8Verified guest“Great location, and you don’t need public transport. The street is quiet, the entrances are classic, ceilings are high — it feels like you’re a local resident, a well-off one. Breakfast, a sightseeing map, a compliment, and hospitable hosts — all lived up to the reviews. The bathroom with both a tub and a shower was handy after long walking days. It was also the only place we stayed where they sent detailed arrival instructions with time and cost estimates — that shows they care. The price wasn’t the lowest, but it’s worth it. I’ll definitely recommend it to friends.”
8.8Verified guest“Great room and a great manager who’s happy to point out all the must-see spots in Florence. The location is ideal — just a short walk from the tourist routes, and quiet enough to sleep with the windows open. The main museums like the Pitti Gallery and Boboli Gardens are literally 5 minutes on foot. Good breakfast, and you can enjoy it all morning.”
8.8Verified guest“We found the hotel easily — walking from the station past the drunkard Novella, over the Alla Carraia bridge, and past Santa Spirito church straight to Via Santa Maria. The streets are well lit at night, so it feels safe to walk late. Rooms are on the second floor with high ceilings and authentic decor. The bathroom had all the essentials, plus a tub and shower. Breakfast was good — eggs, sausages, cold cuts, pastries, and coffee. The room had a kettle with tea and sugar for all tastes; we even left baked goods on the table for a late snack. It was chilly for two days, but the air conditioning warmed the room well. The area is quiet and close to Pitti. We were happy with our choice.”
8.8Verified guest“The room was clean and spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was ideal and available all day. Best of all, the staff were friendly and welcoming, recommending wonderful local restaurants. Overall, great value — I couldn’t have asked for more. We had a lovely time.”
8.8Verified guest“The location is okay, and the room was clean. A bit far from the center.”
