The room was very nice, good space, clean and nice bathroom. Getting to the property was a little harder and we had to call to find the entrance. The main door is difficult to find. They did provide access to a lift, which (luckily) had just been repaired - carrying 70kg of luggage up the dark steep stairs would not have been fun! Staff were attentive and very helpful, providing some good food recommendations. Property is in great location, walkable from the main station and to all attractions.

The room was ok.. very dated and small but sufficient for 1 night however, the building was very confusing because the hotel is only on one floor.. the entrance to the building had old dirty couches lining the hall. The man at the check in was very friendly and helpful.

A very strange entrance. Just a worn out wooden door with a piece of paper telling you to press the code to enter. Once inside it's a hallway filled with old dilapidated furniture. The lift brought us to a desk with an envelope containing my name and the room keys. No instructions on how to locate the room in this old medieval building. Not a very good first impression! The one good thing was the restaurant next door which seems to be affiliated with the hotel and the extremely close location to the Duomo.

Set on the top floor of a very old Florentine merchant's house, lovely old rooms and very comfortable. Afflicted with mosquitoes (both of us bitten overnight). Lighting in the room so low, it was impossible to read a book except in the bathroom and no public spaces for reading.Breakfast in next door restaurant by arrangement with hotel was OK but also in dim lighting... so dreary. On arrival no lift available and three floors up with bags... when he finally arrived, the receptionist gave us the key code for the tiny, ancient lift. Expensive for what it was.

Our stay was excellent. We had difficulty finding the property so I called the phone number. Andrei answered the call and literally guided us to the door. Room was very clean. Our room faced the courtyard and was very quiet. Toiletries were provided. We were given coupons for breakfast at the restaurant beside the property. It was a great start to the day. We had to check out early our last day. Andrei arranged for us to pick up a bagged breakfast the night before. The location of this property is excellent! Right around the corner from the Duomo. You can see the Medici chapel from the rooftop deck. Andrei was also very helpful in providing a map and identifying places we may want to see. We highly recommend this property!

The hotel was a very close walk from the train station, which was fantastic as Florence is not very easy to get around by vehicle. We arrived early and found the directions provided by staff to be very accurate and easy to follow. The hotel was well marked. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel, and toured around Florence for a bit, but were able to check in early (around noon) as our room was ready. Andrea checked us in and was a wealth of knowledge. Provided lots of great recommendations as well as a map of the city. As with many “airbnb” style accommodations, staff was only present during the day, but was very clear in when they’d be on site and how to reach them after hours (which we didn’t need to do). We stayed in a double room, it had everything we needed, was very clean (and cleaned daily by staff while we were out), and spacious. Although it is in a very old building the room was up to date and comfortable. I had read a review prior to coming about there being bugs in some rooms, or in the beds, but we checked our bed thoroughly and the mattress was immaculate. Windows have no screens (as in all of the places we stayed in Italy), so I could see that bugs may be able to access the room that way by chance. The breakfast each morning was a great! Fantastic cappuccinos, lots of variety with hot and cold options, pastries and fruit. Overall a great stay!

Very large room located near a lot of the tourist attractions. Driving there and parking an absolute nightmare. The signage for the hotel is extremely small and finding the elevator from the street is useless as it requires a code to get in. No hot water one morning and no staff on site to rectify that.

Wee gem at the heart of florence.
Great wee gem right in the centre of Florence. Very quiet in the evenings, albeit right at centre, and very comfortable and spacious room, with large, clean bathroom. Exceptionally friendly hotel staff, happy to help on where best to go and provided great parking service - they have an arrangement with local garage who pick up and drop off car. Super handy as streets incredibly narrow. Breakfast is held in restaurant next door which was also lovely - we would recommend going early to ensure food hot/still available. Overall a fab stay and would love to return in the future!

The reception at this accommodation is very friendly and the location is great! The only scary thing was that we found bed bugs on the sofa bed! ! ! ! So we didn't sleep on that bed. When I informed the accommodation, he only said that he had checked and found no insects. Because pests do exist, I hope this review will encourage the hotel to implement pest control measures to prevent future guests from being harmed.

Hidden gem in the middle of everything! Luca @ reception was a plethora of Firenze information-history, where to go for cultural events-dinning, museums etc…very, very, helpful, personable, friendly & accommodating. Train station less than 10 min walk!!! Recommended if you are visiting 2-3 days. Scenery, furniture, access to hotel brings one back to the life of 14-16th century…loved it! Btw, restaurant below/next to hotel-buffet breakfast-good assortment! We will return!!!
