Albena was a gracious host... Kind and thoughtful for each member of my family. The location is great for visiting the big sites as well as the off beat local shops and restaraunts. The beds were comfy and the rooms cleaned everyday. Would suggest if a low key b & b is your style. If you're a light sleeper... Request a room off the main road. I loved hearing and seeing Florence in motion... But not sure it's for everyone. Lastly.... Great, plentiful breakfast... Pastries, yogurts, great coffee and juice. Albena even made fresh eggs for my son.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, gave us lots of advice and we could not have asked for more attention. We were the first guests to arrive and we were given the choice of three rooms, two of them with great views to the street and Santa Maria del Fiore and one of them with views to an inner garden. We chose the latter and it was very good: very spacious and really comfortable and quiet. The location of the hotel is really convenient, and the breakfast was brilliant.
We could find no faults at all with this hotel, and Florence is a really great city. We would definitely repeat.

The place is excepcionally well located, behind La Accademia, few steps from la Piazza di Santa Maria Annunciata and a couple blocks away from il Duomo.
The owner service (Albena) will make you feel at home, the rooms are very clean and spacious, with classic huge windows to enjoy the street movement by the mornings.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at Soggiorno Panerai in October 2011. We were greated with warmth and enthusium by Albena. The room was spacious and so very comfortable. The bathroom was modern and very clean. Location, near the Duomo was fabulous - close enough yet still quiet at night. Albena was oh so helpful with maps, directions, and a 'cooked to order breakfast' served right in our room. This was our second trip to Florence and this B and B clearly surpasses all our expectations. I look forward to returning soon!
