La Casa del Ghiberti B&B0

The hotel and rooms were the cleanest we've ever seen at a B&B especially one that is located in Florence's city center only a minute walk from the Duomo! The rooms also feel very new and modern as the owner had gone through a complete remodeling of the interior recently. The building front door, apartment door, and room door can all be opened with a modern key card, unlike other B&B's in Florence we've seen requiring a separate physical key for each door. The owner is amazingly friendly, welcoming, thoughtful and accommodating. He also has a super cute and friendly dog that you're welcome to meet and play with. The breakfast was full of delicious home-made cakes.

Excellent location near the Duomo, Uffizzi, Piazza de la Signoria, Accademia, and San Marco Museum. Andrea is very genial, thoughtful, and helpful. His special assistant, Lola, could not be more beautiful and charming. We loved this property when we stayed there 15 years ago (when owned by Claudio and Christelle), and are very glad we stayed there on our return. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable, and well equipped..

The coffee is very good and ample. The cakes prepared by Andrea's aunt are delicious. However, although it would be inaccurate to say we didn't like the breakfast provided, the juices and proteins provided could be improved.

The Casa was located on a quiet street, away from traffic. Even so, it was close to the famous Duomo and shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing. An easy walk to the train station, if necessary. The rooms were charming and very comfortable. We loved the shuttered window with a window box with flowers in bloom. Andrea was very responsive and made our stay very comfortable. He was funny and made us laugh every time we saw him. He gave us suggestions and had opinions on everything; where to eat, what to see, etc. Our table was ready every morning for us to select from the breakfast buffet which consisted of pastries, assorted breads, meats, cheese, fruit and of course teas and cappuccinos, and we loved speaking with him. There was also a small patio to enjoy a bottle of wine you may have found during your day if you were so inclined. "Mama" made some of the delicious pastries that were offered for breakfast. Every morning, we had a very filling breakfast, and we were ready to go out and experience Florence. Our stay here was perfect; nothing could have improved it. We'd rate it higher, if possible!

Nothing; our stay was perfect.

We loved our stay. The B&B is on the second floor of an original Florentine building. A pair of huge doors outside and then a second iron gate secures entrance to building. We were greeted at the outside door by our host - he is very friendly and helpful. He welcomed us inside and assisted us on the elevator to the second floor. The elevator is a little small but easily accommodated two adults, two large pieces of luggage and two backpacks - we were happy to have an elevator and especially in such an old building!! Once inside the B&B, our host quickly checked us in and showed us around - the charming breakfast area, outside seating area and then to our room. He showed us how to use the access card for entrance to the building, the B&B, and our room. We booked the nicest room - big with a high hand painted ceiling - beautiful. Very comfortable foam mattress and a true king sized bed. Beautiful bed linens. Large sound proof window in the bedroom to ensure quiet and peaceful sleeping. The mini fridge, the Nespresso coffee maker and hot water kettle were all appreciated. The bathroom was great - large double sink, toilet, bidet, large tub and a large shower with a big frosted window with plentiful storage shelves and nice towels. The entire room was spotless and very comfortable. I think the bathroom was recently updated as all the fixtures looked new. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning. Wonderful automatic coffee machine to make all types of coffees. Nice pastries, toast, cheese, boiled eggs, fruit, etc. Enjoyed having breakfast and then off to explore Florence.

We had no problems. I’m sure if there was an issue, our host would have tried to solve it. He’s worked very hard on this property to make it very nice. He has great pride in it. He truly wants you to have a wonderful experience at his property and in Florence.

This place is very updated, well maintained, very well decorated, very clean. Andrea is responsive and attentive, loves to chat away with his guests, breakfast was lovely in a charming little dining area including a terrace and had a fancy little coffee/cappuccino machine that made a great coffee-chocolate-latte, pastries made by his mom, lots of selection for a continental breakfast. And the location is amazing! It's across from the hospital so we worried about noise but wasn't an issue. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat! Towels are large and soft (not common in Europe) and there is even a magnifying mirror! Lots of attention to detail. Our girls had the Yellow Room - just gorgeous!! We had the Red Room. Smaller but also lovely.

I honestly cannot think of a single thing to improve on.

The host of the property was incredible! He was so friendly and kind, and he gave great recommendations for things to do in Florence. The property was lovely. The rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. The air conditioning was strong and fast, which was very appreciated in the Florence heat. The breakfast was delicious as well. The location of the property was fantastic. The property was walking distance to all of the main Florence sites, and was especially close to the Duomo. I look forward to returning to La Casa del Ghiberti again!

Nothing :)

This was our second time staying at the property and we look forward to returning during future visits to Florence! Rooms are exceptionally clean, homemade breakfast pastries are delicious, and the property is within walking distance to major sights in Florence. The building is also very safe. Most importantly, Andrea is thoughtful, detail-oriented, hospitable, and always willing to accommodate guests and indeed goes out of his way to do so. Coincidentally, our trains into Florence were delayed both times we visited the city. When we alerted Andrea each time, he was so understanding and worked with us to ensure we had a seamless check-in.

N/A - all aspects of the stay exceeded expectations

A fantastic location in the heart of Florence with easy access to everything you might want. Breakfast being included was a huge bonus. A lot of thought has been put into everything provided in the bnb. The beds were very comfortable and the room was perfect for what we needed. Despite being near a road, it was perfectly tranquil. Andrea went above and beyond to welcome us and give us information and advice for our trip. A truly wonderful person, it felt like we were staying with a good friend.

Any problems were due to other (noisy) guests and nothing to do with the property at all!

My wife and I loved this place, we stayed for 3 nights. The host Andrea was super helpful in giving us tips where to eat and even advised us on how to get our luggage back that the airline lost. The rooms were just the right size, the shower was big (many B&B showers have these small capsules), the bed was also big and comfortable. The breakfast was a European style breakfast, but it was really good!! There is also a small elevator if you can't walk up the stairs with luggage. A smart TV is also very useful right before going to sleep. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Andrea...from "George"

We absolutely loved this hotel! The rooms are spacious and quiet with a comfortable king bed and large bathroom. The location is perfect, pretty much everything you want to do is less than a 10 min walk from the hotel. But the best part was Andrea and his impeccable service. He gave us great, local recommendations for dinner and cocktails and helpful advice about what to do in the short amount of time we were there. By the end of our two-day stay we felt like family. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. You won’t be disappointed.
