The stay at B&B IL TABERNACOLO was most enjoyable. The hospitality, smile and kindness of Mariano (the owner) made us feel almost at home. The check-in process went very smoothly. The place was very clean (including the private bathroom), everything was in its place and kept tidy. The room is quiet, you can sleep well and relax there. The location is very good: there is a minimarket and several restaurants nearby, tabaccheria on the opposite side of the street (you can buy bus tickets there) and close to the bus stop. In the shared kitchen, we were served delicious Italian coffee, tea and snacks for breakfast before going out into the city. Mariano's tips on the area and visiting the city (bus connections, bar and restaurant recommendations, etc.) were also very practical. I definitely recommend the owner and his venue :)

The host, Mariano, was very welcoming and non-intrusive. He was genuinely kind and eager to provide information about the local area, and was always available to answer any questions via messenger. The room was kept very clean, and amenities such as laundry and drinks in the communal kitchen space were provided free of charge. While you may occasionally hear others in the halls, the soundproofing between rooms was excellent. Major locations, such as the Uffizi and Pitti galleries, are a somewhat long but manageable walking distance away, eased by the scenic walk along the river - but public transport is also easily accessible. There are a few quality restaurants and convenience stores nearby - which, like the room, were very reasonably priced.

The street can be a bit noisy at night, and the air conditioning at times struggles to keep up with the summer heat, but the quality of the service provided by the host more than makes up for it - especially considering the reasonable pricing.

We stayed in two different hotels in Florence and this by far was the best! For starters, our host was so welcoming and lovely. He made sure to give exact directions on how to get to the hotel without even asking. On arrival, he also gave us a plethora of recommendations on what to do and see in Florence, and made sure we knew he was there if we had any questions. Honestly went above and beyond and we wish we had stayed here our entire trip! The actual room was beautiful and SO clean, the aircon was turned on for our arrival, and the bed was very comfy!! We love boutique-style hotels and can promise you won't be disappointed with this one. Also so many lovely local restaurants nearby!! Thanks for such an enjoyable end to our trip Mariano :)

Breakfast was simple but fine. Room was very very clean and spacious. Mariano who runs the bnb was superb, possibly the best host I've come across. Anything we needed he would help with! About a 30-35min walk to center of Florence but a lively walk through the pleasant streets or along the riverbank. If you prefer not to walk then there was regular buses.

Nothing- would recommend to anyone!

I was greeted by the owner's wife, whom was so gracious. She even carried my bags up the staircase, which after a horrendous day at Paris Airport (adding 9 hours to a 24 hour trip) she was a blessing in disguise! The room was exceptionally clean, the bathroom looked like it had been installed that day, like new! It is very simple, but to grab a shower and crash, it is perfect! Marieno arranged my taxi to get to the train and as we waited he told me about the history of the building, the fabulous painting adjacent from his building, The Tabernacle of the Canto della Cuculia, where via dei Serragli meets via Santa Monaca, protected by a stone temple and the painting "Madonna and Child, Saint Paul and Saint Jerome" by Lorenzo di Bicci painted in the early 24th century. Hence the name of B & B Tabernacle. It was interesting and just the very thought of how long these buildings have been in place! A wonderment!

The staircase, but since I didn't haul my bags, I can't complain, except for a bum knee! LOL

We spent a night at B&B Il TABERNACOLO and we really couldn’t be happier with our choice. As we arrived we were greeted warmly by the host who explained everything, gave us directions and recommendations, and showed us our room. The room was clean, very big, and warm. We were worried about the location but our worries had no ground as many buses are arriving and departing from the area near the hotel. Our host answered every question we had and was very fast even in our online communication. Also, I want to share an experience we had that proves how great of a choice of accommodation is B&B Il TABERNACOLO.We lost one of our passports and didn’t know what to do as we would depart the next day .The host was so good and fast at helping us ,we were so relieved. He gave us instructions of what to do and called us a taxi so we can go search for the passport that arrived very quickly .Needless to say ,we believe that B&B Il TABERNACOLO brought us luck as we have the passport in our hands . The next morning, we were pleasantly surprised with freshly brewed coffee and pastries. Also ,the accommodation has only stairs(not that many) but the host helped us with our suitcases so don’t worry about that ! It is pretty close to the station Firenze Campo Marte so if you want to have a day trip like we did ,it’s amazing ! If life brings us back to Florence better hope B&B Il TABERNACOLO has free rooms because we would like to repeat our stay 100 times !

Mariano was great. This has been by far the best place we have stayed in, in Italy. Everything was super clean, you could tell as soon as you entered the room. Mariano gave us great suggestions when it came to places to visit and how to get around, and also places to eat. We will definitely recommend this place to family and friends, and we will definitely stay here again when we return to Florance. Thanks once again Mariano for everything!!!!

Such a nice host, Mariano. 😍😍 I liked this guy. He is kind and he explained everything in different ways! The room was really clean and quite. It has also the kitchen that is full of everything which are free such as juice, water, tea, cake, etc. We had a great time there. If I will come back to Italy, for sure I would go to this place again❤️🌹

Location outside of the tourist center was pleasant as it allowed to relax a bit, the walk to all the hotspots is nice and leads along a street with many bars, restaurants and little shops/boutiques not overrun by tourists. The host is super friendly, helpful and always present. Excellent breakfast at the bar/cafe opposite the residence. Highly recommend and outstanding value for money.

The owner is extremely nice and helpful. He is full of advice and tips regarding Florence. The room is nice size and very clean. Nice neighbourhood. I would highly recommend this place, good value for money.

The location is a bit far from the main city atractions, so it's either about 30 min walk, or a bus.
