I cannot find words good enough to express how wonderful my stay was. Everything exceeded my expectations. Martina was out front to meet me when I arrived and made me feel immediately welcome and taken care of. She showed me the room, which was utterly beautiful - pictures do not do it justice - and told me about the 800-year-old frescoes in my room and others, and about the history of the property. She gave me excellent recommendations based on my likes and interests, and was a warm, funny and kind host. (I thoroughly enjoyed all of this and loved talking to her, but I could also tell that if you were a shy person who wanted to be left alone, she'd easily pick up on that and give you space. I got the sense she very much tailors her hospitality to each guest.) The room itself was beautiful, large and comfortable. I loved the lighting, the bed was very comfortable (and I'm very fussy), and the shower was great. It was super quiet and peaceful. And, despite being marketed as a B&B, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the room is cleaned and turned over daily. One of the days that I was there was my birthday, and Martina left me a bottle of wine in my room. So kind and thoughtful. Breakfast was lovely, and included homemade cakes made by Martina's mother. Very good coffee. I also loved the location - from the maps I thought I would be a bit further out, but it was only a 5 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio. The neighborhood has loads of excellent restaurants and feels a bit cooler than the historic centre. It's also nice and peaceful, and lets you escape the crowds and tour groups. I was a woman travelling alone, and never felt unsafe wandering about at night. I will be recommending this place to any friends and family travelling to Florence, and will stay here again if (hopefully when!) I visit again.

Nothing - everything was perfect.

It was awesome!! The breakfast was delicious and lots of variety (chocolate pear cake so amazing). The rooms were beautiful and historic. A perfect balance of being cozy and homey and clean. Martina was so nice and gave great recommendations! The location was perfect, being in Oltrano it was quieter and away from all the touristy parts but only a 5 minute walk to the Boboli gardens. We were a group of 6 and thought the B&B was a great fit. We have been traveling around Italy as a family for the past 10 days and this was our favorite accommodation. Would 100% recommend to anyone going to Florence. We had a lovely stay!!

For our second visit to Florence, we chose this charming B&B, just 5 minutes walking from the city centre. If Florence is the city of renaissance, our welcoming stay was a true piece of art. We visited in August with two teenagers and a three year old. Welcomed like true guests of the family in this historic townhouse with lots of character, we were in awe of the atmosphere in this accomodation, adorned with beautiful fresco’s. Our suite with its own terrace is exeptionnaly large and has all the facilities you might need for a citytrip. We could even use the kitchen as it was our own. We had our breakfasts on the lovely terrace of our room. Most of the breakfast was family-made with vegetable pies, juices, croissants and even cakes. All served with love and care. Other advantages: - You feel like a true Florentine when you enter the appartement, like you live there. - The host helped us find a lot of lovely restaurants and interesting spots in the city. She even gave us a map. - Although in the middle of the city, there was no noice whatsoever, we couldn’t here anything. - Airconditioning works perfectly and house keeping is perfect. - Hospitality was amazing - Large rooms with good WiFi Hard to find a truely welcoming place these days, but we’ve found a gem in the middle of Florence and will surely come back here, hoping nothing has changed.

Nothing comes to mind

This beautiful, interesting, and historic lodging was ideal for our stay in Florence. The location was excellent and everything was an easy walk from there. Marina, the hostess, was helpful and cheerful and made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was amazing and she went out of her way to accommodate our vegan diet. She had an impressive list of restaurant recommendations and we ate at 4 of them, all of which were superb. It was a perfect stay and we were very happy we chose this location for our stay.

Location is excellent - far enough from the crowded tourist zones to be quiet, but also a very quick walk to get to sightseeing. Near good restaurants and some nightlife. The rooms were gorgeous; being from the United States it was incredible to be in a room with a fresco in it. Was the perfect Florence experience. We stayed in the Double Room with Terrace Affreschi and loved being able to finish our morning coffee out on the terrace. The property is gorgeous and well restored. Martina and her brother Mirko, were so helpful and kind in getting us checked in and helping throughout our stay. They were always quickly accessible via WhatsApp. The breakfast was AMAZING and made by their mother, who is an excellent cook. I read some reviews that said the location was hard to find, but it was not. Just pay attention to the addresses around and look for the small gold plaque by the door.

Nothing! We would stay here again in a heartbeat on another trip to Florence.

This is a family run business with an interesting history to the house. I had stayed in a nice hotel upon first arriving in Florence, but for my return after being in another part of Tuscany for a week I was looking forward to a small BnB. Martina met me at the door and showed me upstairs where she and her family have remodeled the second floor into 4 lovely rooms with their own bathrooms. The kitchen has an amazing old 14th century fresco on the wall that was discovered under old plaster when they were remodeling. Family members take turns coming in the morning to lay out a lovely presentation of home baked goods and to make your espresso/ cappuccino for you. The location is just steps from the Boboli Gardens and an easy walk to Ponte Vecchio. There’s a wine and cheese tasting bar across the little street, and numerous restaurants, church squares, and shops in the surrounding neighborhoods.

There was nothing not to like, altho the one steep flight of stairs might be a problem for those who have trouble with stairs. Martina graciously carried my suitcase for me, as I am a senior traveler and I was very grateful she did.

Our room had original 14th century frescoes is our room! The B&B is very well placed in the Oltrano district of Florence, with the advantage of being more quiet compared to the historic district. Jacopo, Niccolo' and Martina were great hosts ensuring our stay was comfortable and pleasant, providing great restaurant recommendations, and of course the excellent buffet breakfast each morning. Our room was well equipped with good wifi, USB outlets in the plugs to charge our phones/cameras, and comfortable beds. We had plenty of space in the double room for 3 people.

Everything was great. Very clean, very comfortable, quiet. Use of a large fridge. Martina could not have been more helpful or friendly. Good wine/craft beer/wine tasting/cookery class directly opposite. Trattoria next door to that. Small shop nearby. No 36 & 37 bus to train station stops 30 metres on the opposite side of the road, €1.70. Takes about 15 minutes. You can walk in about 20 mins. Opposite entrance to Boboli Gardens & very near Pitti Palace. Easy to walk to Ponte Vecchio and over the river to the busier area. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing

Absolutely stunning hotel and super nice host! Martina immediately suggested us great places to eat in the area which are more local than touristic. Hotel room itself is beautiful, you have everything you need plus gorgeous fresco in bedroom. Location is fantastic - 10-15min walking distance from Ponte Vecchio and other famous places. Breakfast is very very good. Best recommendations to this hotel.

Nothing to mention here.

Everything about this place is exceptional! Extraordinary design of this recently refurbished apartment in the medieval building, featuring original 14th century frescos (!), modern facilities (wonderful bed, great shower!, AC/heating), quiet inner courtyard windows with private terrace, stylish, vintage pieces of furniture tastefully combined with modern lighting and hardwood flooring, scented interiors. Place is family run, everyone super friendly and Martina speaks excellent English and gives wonderful tips regarding bars and restaurants. Breakfast is fresh and delicious every morning, served both for Italian and northern European taste (especially yummy pies and cakes prepared by auntie) with the selection that makes it hard to decide what to have :) Location was great for us as a short walk from the old town but a bit away from the touristy crowds. Lots of vibrant nightlife on our doorstep and breathtaking Boboli Gardens for the morning walks. We shall be back:)
