“Superb visit in a lovely, charming and historical B&B. Couldn’t have been better.”

This historic gem in Oltrarno boasts centuries‑old frescoes on the walls, trompe l’oeil ceilings, and a cozy community breakfast room with a kitchen. Hosts Martina and Jacob were fantastic, preparing a varied, high‑quality breakfast daily that included homemade tarts, quiches, cheesecake, yogurt, fresh fruit, charcuterie, toast with butter, honey, jam, and freshly made coffee and tea. It’s a delight! The hotel is a ten‑minute walk to Ponte del Vecchio and 25 minutes from central Florence, with several excellent restaurants nearby yet quiet at night. Truly a great place—highly recommended!

“A mixed bag”

I arrived exhausted and found the room surprisingly roomy, with high‑quality linens, towels, and hot water that was scorching hot. Yet, paying over $300 a night, I felt let down when I had to haul my own bag up the stairs—though a gentleman did help with one of my two bags and kindly asked me to carry the other after a long day of travel. Check‑in was hurried, as if the staff were eager to leave, and there were more rules than necessary, with several admonitions about what not to do. The overall vibe felt neither welcoming nor relaxing. Breakfast was a bland Continental spread, lacking hot dishes, and pastries and juice were not particularly fresh. The room itself was dim. I’m puzzled by the glowing reviews for this place and believe there are better options in Florence for the price. I switched to a cheaper hotel that offered more warmth, helpfulness, and accommodation.

“Ein einmaliger Kurzurlaub”

The owner offers personal care, but the courtyard is under construction.
