“Perfect B&B in Firenze Center”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

First this hotel is a 5min walk from the station, and about 10-15 min to the center of Firenze. It is very quiet while the room is big with a very warm feeling thanks to the wood flooring. The shower room is a bit small but it is well equipped, water is hot and with enough pressure. More than all that, the hostess Silvia is awesome. Nice and warm welcome, really adjusting to your needs (I stayed for new year's eve and was able to get breakfast served at 11:30am on Jan 1st, which by the way was a very nice breakfast). There was an "at home" feel that made my stay truly enjoyable. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone going to Firenze. Will stay again for sure.

“What else to say?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Echoing other reviews, this place is extremely well located near the train station, spotless, fluffy towels, comfortable beds, air conditioning, wifi, decent breakfast, competitively priced, elevator, quiet. What more can you want? The B&B is extremely well managed by Sylvia. She has many years experience in 4-star hotels, and her personal and caring touch is evident. She booked museum tickets for us, lunch reservations and make inquiries about other sights. And she boxed up and shippped somthing I had left behind. Great service. Our room had a tiny shower, but I had to think hard to find something to complain about. Seriously, the tiny shower aside, you can't go wrong staying here.

“Perfect Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

The room was very clean and comfortable, with wood floor.
Close to the train central station "Santa Maria Novella", is the best place if you arrive with big luggage.
WIFI is for free and satellite TV is in every room.

You can choose breakfast among brioche, cappuccino, coffee, orange juice, yoghurt and others, and it's served in room among 8-10 AM.

Close to train, clean, large rooms, great breakfast and Silvia is a joy. Oh, and reasonably priced! Can't go wrong booking here.

“A perfect place to stay in Florence”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I am always hesitant with booking through the internet because you never know what you're going to get, but after reading the reviews here I went for it, and boy, was I happy with my choice!
This lovely B&B is located just minutes away from the main train station in Florence, so you can walk there, thus both getting a first glimpse of Florence and saving your cab money. Do note one thing: Google Maps has it wrong! If you type the address, Via della Scala, 48, 50123 Florence, into Google Maps, you get a different hotel, while this is one is actually located one block up the street, marked by its name on Google maps. That means that once you leave the train station and arrive at via della Scala, turn right, not left, and walk up a block and a half. In any case, it is very easy to find.
The great location doesn't stop there! It is within a walking distance of all that is happening in Florence, including all the major and minor tourist attractions. There is also a bar right near the B&B, so you can get a coffee any time you like, as well as two internet places to be in touch with home.
Sylvia, the ever-present owner, is always there to take care of everything, from your arrival, through you tailor-made breakfast, to pointing you to the really important sites of the city and just to making you feel as at home as possible.
The room I had was wonderful - a huge bed, perfect air conditioning (generally a weak point in Italy), a flexible shower hose (so I didn't have to stand in one spot like you would do in most showers), sound-proof openable windows and 4-meter high ceilings, making you fell on a true vacation.
All in all - a perfect spot to stay in Florence, will definitely go back there!

Room Tip: I had room 6 and loved it!
