We booked without knowing what to expect, we got lucky the extremely friendly owner Marco acted more like a friend than the relais manager/owner, the building is nice the room nice and on the top the rate was excellent we recommend the "inn" for a pleasent stay More

Travelling with a female companion, we rented a room each for 6 nights, but only stayed for 2. A complaint was made in a pleasant manner as to the cleanliness of my friends room but the man who we took to be the proprietor, over reacted in quite an extreme way. Although my friend had accepted the room quite happily... More

A friend and I were in Florence for a week for language school, so we speak reasonable Italian. We booked 2 single rooms in this hotel on the strength of the photos and reviews in laterooms.com and were pleased with the rate. However, the photos are NOT accurate: There is no entrance area off the street - you have to... More

I'd hearlily recommend the Antico Rustico restaurant just round the... More

Overview: This is a great little hotel. It is a 15 minute walk from the SMN train station (1.3km).

The hotel was most charming, and our room was generous space-wise for 3 adults. The room was very clean. We had what appeared to be a corner room, and we had a view. The breakfast food was plentiful and tasty. We enjoyed our mornings at breakfast visiting with others staying at the hotel. Just as the hotel website states, the... More
