Manager,Marcelo was disappointing and demanded an additional €1000, for a room with a bathroom in the room for a few days stay. Very disappointing information on the staircase being 5 stories high without ascensor/elevator.
Marcelo was great at meeting me to do check in; this is more like a private boutique /self check in hotel…. Real easy to access it and safe neighborhood…very spacious room only downfall is that there is no elevator and it’s on third floor…just FYI- but I was good exercise ;)
Breakfast and service was fabulous… simple menu but great quality… I would stay there again!

The lication is wonderful. The staff was friendly and helpful. To have an international b&b on the top floor without and elevator is a bit of an issue. Not all guests are 25 year old athletes haha. But over all. This place was charming. Just fix the ac unit.

Good location for the price. They provide breakfast from 8-10am. The staff was easy to reach and provided helpful information. Room was very small, only 1 skylight type window.
Everything was amazing. It is posted that there is no lift. 3 flights of stirs with cases is a challenge but we managed. Be prepared! Overall I’d give them a proper thumbs up.
Nice place , good location.
NO parking on-site ! $ 30 - $45 a night in the surrounding garages. Wi-Fi wasn’t working properly , lots of stairs to access the hotel if you have heavy luggage.
Great location, quiet because windows open towards enclosed courtyard but no views, four story walk up is tiring after hours of walking the city and not easy if you have a lot of luggage, rooms are large and clean with great showers with hot water and small fridge, AC works great which is a must in summer, this is a B&B so except for initial check in, no staff available.
Of all the accommodations I have stayed at in my life, this one was the worst. I am by no means one to complain, but it was awful. The door to our hotel room was lodged when we returned for the night around 10pm. Nobody would answer our calls for hours, there was nobody around, and the building had no cell service. We ended up stranded with nowhere to go, our bags were stuck in the room, and we had to find a hotel for the night. When we tried to inquire with the staff the next morning, they shrugged and said they wouldn’t help or refund us.
Door issue aside, our room had no windows and was a major fire / safety hazard. It was also incredibly dirty.
Overall 0/10. Would not recommend.

The room was good for being in an old building in old city, as long as you can actually get inside. We knew this property was not manned 24 hours. They give you an emergency number for off hours. THE STAFF DOES NOT PICK UP WHEN YOU CALL IN AN EMERGENCY SUCH AS BEING LOCKED OUT OF THE BUILDING. I had to climb over the front gate (aprx 9-10 feet tall) when the key fob stopped working and they wouldn’t answer despite calling every number they gave us for aprx. 3 hours. The staff member that was supposed to be monitoring the emergency number responsed the next day by telling me “I was sleeping”. I would NOT recommend this property.
From the moment we arrived, to the day we left, we felt so welcomed! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Keep in mind, this hotel is on the third floor with no elevator. The rooms are spacious, although showing their age. I felt that was fine as the building itself is historical. The shower is small- and I’m 5’7! Very clean and within walking distance of everything! The included continental breakfast was perfect before heading out to explore the city. We would definitely stay here again!
If you want to stay in a Rococo residence in the heart of historic Florence (5 min from the Duomo and from San Lorenzo and Cappelle Medicee), in a spacious room, with delicate allegories painted on its ceiling and with a charming view over back gardens, courtyards and hills - this is a perfect choice. Shoutout to Daniele and Adriana, perfect hosts going to great lengths to make travelers feel at home. It is important to note, however, that the B&B is located on the third floor and there is no elevator. There is also not a permanent receptionist but arrangements are made so one is not needed at all times. Quiet. Gated building.

Lovely stay in the room with the fresco ceiling. Clean room and comfortable bed. Very quiet (including the fridge and the aircon). Only marked it down due to the bathroom handle being broken. Yes there are lots of stairs but worth the effort. Good breakfast which they kindly served early on the days that we had bookings to get to. Very friendly and helpful.
The property is very close to the main cathedral, downside is it is on the third floor and hard to access as there is no elevator so be mindful of this if you have heavy luggage, there are probably 300 steps. My room was not very functional, no hot water the first day and no water the last day. I had to contact the reception several times to fix the water or wifi. The wifi was never fixed. The staff also was really hard to communicate with as they speak little or no English. Also if you expect to get any Expedia gold perks you will be disappointed. I asked for my 12 EUR food credit on arrival and they initially said I would not pay city tax to compensate for this but that was not the case as they ended up charging this at the end. The table lamp of my room was broken and the air conditioning makes a loud noice all the time. The bed is uncomfortable. So in general it’s really hard to sleep like this. I bring up these issues at the end of my stay (to someone over the phone because the receptionist doesn’t speak English) and they did not offer apologies nor compensation.
The staff was very friendly and the location was not far from the main attractions. The only negative thing about the property were the flights of stairs you had to take to get to your room.
