Although our stay was only for one night (we went on to another location in the same group) we were very pleased with the reception we received from staff, the room and especially the location. It is very close to all the action and heartbeat of Firenze. more

Great hotel, conveniently situated, combines homely comfort with professional service and clean, tastefully decorated surroundings. We felt very relaxed there, it's like a home from home. Our room was large, airy, with an ample bathroom, nice big chairs to sit in, and plenty of windows. Our host, Giovana was wonderfully friendly, patient and attentive. Breakfast is nicely laid out in... more

We stayed for one night at the Johlea in April. We were pleased with the room, and the staff was very friendly. The location was great, close to restaurants frequented by students... a step up from the usual tourist crowd. The hotel made reservations for us at the Accademia and at the Uffizi. My husband wasn't feeling well and they... more

I can't say enough good about our stay at the Johlea! We were greeted with a warmth and helpfulness that was there for our entire visit. Laura and Giovanna were great and supportive. They openly advised and assisted us with restaurant and museum reservations. Our room was beautiful...decorated with lovely antiques. The bathroom was en suite, quite large, and very... more

My son and I arrived in Florence from the airport, shuttled to the train station and walked to the Johlea. The hotel is within walking distance of all the Florence sites. The room was adequate and the bathroom well appointed. Breakfast (included) was good and varied. Because we were leaving early on our last morning, they gave us a breakfast... more

This is a place you feel you don't want to recommend it at all, to keep it a valuable secret - a hidden gem of B&B, with the comfort of a good hotel, but a much more cosy atmosphere. You feel like you were at home, and we certainly did feel at home in amy senses. more

Great building, room and bathroom. Communal rooms made it feel spacious and homely. Very helpful receptionist, but no staff after 7pm or before 8am. Breakfast very basic and not available until 8:30am, although you can ask for it in your room the day before. Good central location. Booked an excellent walking tour through Residenza Johlea. Florence is a great place,... more

Spent 3 nights in a superior room although I''m pretty sure having peaked into a couple of other rooms that the room was probably a standard. Rooms and bathrooms are large, basic furnishings, clean and comfortable (ask for more pillows if you don't like the normal one Italian rock hard pillow that's in the room). The area is OK, just... more

Residenza Jolhea is the perfect base while visiting Florence! it is 5 mins walk from the most famous monuments/museums. The rooms are comfortable, clean, peaceful. The atmosphere is relaxed and the Ladies managing Residenza Jolhea are kind and qualifies! Ask them suggestions, they will surprise you and provide always good advices! more
