My daughter, husband and I stayed in the Drawing Room at Casa Howard during our recent stay in Florence. Each room has been decorated with a unique style that invites a guest to relax and take in all the details. The Drawing Room is spacious with a sitting area and two very comfortable double beds. Although small, the bathroom offers... More

We stayed in the 'hidden room' and found the whole experience more unique and more affordable than staying at the Westin or any of the other 5 star places. While it is not trying to be one of those places nor does it have the service or amenities... it does make up for it in character. We like to stay... More

This is an old house transformed in a faked guest house where all you meet is not a florentine landlady but two gentle philipino girls who manage this place and do everything there from check-in to maid, from gurdian to making the coffee and that hardly understand what you say. They have an absurde unacceptable cancellation policy - charge you... More

We were there end Oct and we are still missing the great food.... More

On the plus side: The concept is cool, the location is great, and the bathrooms are stocked with really nice toiletries from the Santa Maria Novella Pharmacy next door. On the minus side: Prices are quite high for what it is, breakfast is an additional 12 euros/person/day, and the mattress in the Library Room, where we stayed was *extremely* thin... More

Casa Howard is simply one of the more delightful places I have ever stayed. It truly feels as though you are a privileged guest at a close friend's home, but with the privacy of a hotel! As a solo traveller, I found the garden room exquisite. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom small but with everything you need close to... More

I stayed at Casa Howard on a recent trip to Florence. We stayed in 3 different rooms. All lovely and unique. Our favorite was the Fireplace room. The layout is welcoming and cozy, and the bathtub is heaven! Sally, the innkeeper is friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is close to everything and quiet at night. I want to live in... More

A unique property that I booked for our company of fussy staff. No complaints were made (believe me, this has never happened before), and several staff have asked me for repeat booking information. Communication was spot on from beginning to end, I'll definitely be booking with them again. More
