Expect cleanliness and convenience in the room and classy professionalism in the staff. Rafaella was wonderful-- she arranged for reservations for us even prior to our arrival in Italy!

We booked to stay here for one night after searching for somewhere that was reasonably priced and centrally based. We were not disappointed - the rate was 139 euros including tax and was 200 metres from the train station and around a 3-5 minute walk to the duomo. Our room was called "ambra" and had a view of the side... More

The room had modern decor and was very clean. The proprietoress brought a generous amount of free cookies and fruit. Location is excellent, about a block and a half from the train station. Water was hot. Only issue was the A/C system; although it seemed to be on and set it didn't seem to have much of an effect on... More

Had such a HUGE welcome from Rafaella. She came down to help us with the luggage. Explained every single detail about Florence. Showed us to the clean, spacious room and later brought snacks, fruits and welcome drinks. Rafaella also recommended us to Pepo for super nice italian dinner. It is our favourite out of the 3 cities we visited in... More

As many others have written, the location and the staff are fantastic. Giulia was there when we arrived and she helped us with the places to visit. She also noted when we registered, that we arrived on my birthday. She said we should have let them know, that they would have done something special. The next day after sightseeing for... More

No need to look further - The rooms were large enough to accommodate my husband and I with our two teenage children. My mother had a separate room which was slightly smaller, but had similar facilities. The blinds (electric) made sure that the room was dark enough at night and the double glazing cut the noise of the busy street... More

I loved the place and the people. Lovely decorated rooms, good size, very clean, completely new. Bathroom and shower were really well working and comfortable. But the top is the staff (Marta, Raffaella and Giulia..thanks to all!!) that makes your stay so much different from any other place. They welcomed us with an aperitiv and we had fresh fruit in...
