I cannot say enough good things about this stay. EVERY SINGLE STAFF MEMBER (of the family that run this hotel) was courteous, outgoing, polite, friendly, helpful... We were made to feel very comfortable, and were told by the couple that own this place that "we have a home here whenever we're in Florence." My husband and I have stayed in... More

A+++++ to Residence La Contessina. Such a lovable staff.. location is perfect.. rooms were amazing, original, clean and really so much better than all the other places we stayed at. Breakfast was great.. I would definitely stay at La Contessina if I went back to Florence and I recommend it to any one including my friends and family. Thanks again... More

The staff at La Contessina were so helpful and friendly. The accommodation was great, roomy and quiet, unusual given how close to the centre of Florence is. Breakfast was lovely and plenty of choice. The staff even loaned me a converted plug for my ipad as the plugs were slightly different to the ones for general Europe. We will definitely... More

This is one of our very favorite places to stay in Florence. The owners are attentive to every detail to make your stay the very best. The location is the best! You can walk to all the major sights. The apartments are most comfortable and the courtyard is a peaceful oasis in nice weather. It is a five-minute walk to... More

After alittle difficulty navigating through the streets with our rental car it was all totally worth it!! Right in the heart of Florence, La Contessina, was the perfect place to stay. We were greeted by Clara, who was so kind to help us pull into the driveway, that we didn't even know she was connected to the hotel. Sara recommended... More

Loved the location as it is an easy walk from the train station, but still secluded in a pretty courtyard on a side street and so close to fantastic leather market stalls, gelaterias, restaurants, and even a fairly easy walk to the Duomo. Our family of five enjoyed all the room of our loft-like apartment. The family owners seemed very... More
