My cousin and I traveled italy last June 2011. In Florence, we initially booked a lousy hotel whose name I already forgot. It reeked of rotten strawberry and the AC didn't work. We had no choice but to look for better accommodations. This is when we found CASA HOWARD! The courteous Filipino staff led by Cristine made our stay worthwhile.... More

Stayed in Fireplace room on first floor. Large and very comfortable although being at the front of the property did suffer from some street noise. Very convenient city location, 5 minutes walk from main railway station and approximately 10 minutes to the main attractions. Many good restaurants close by.Staff very friendly and helpful and room kept very clean. Highly recommended.

A wonderful home from home retreat in the centre of Florence with a very welcoming reception from the House Keeper. A perfect place to rest and recharge after all the walking around and exploring. We stayed in the vast Fireplace room which had one of the most amazing bathrooms ever. Definitely recommended.

Casa Howard is very close to the railway staion and the bus station. So if you're arriving by train or plannning a bus trip to Siena or San Gimignano it's perfect. Overall it's a lovely hotel with charming rooms (we had a bath as well which was a wonderful treat!). However we were disappointed with the lack of 'extras'. Breakfast... More

My 11 year old daughter and I began our Italian Renaissance voyage at Casa Howard in Florence. It was perfect for us: charming, quiet, central location, very warm and friendly staff...and a great big bath tub by the window!!! Great for sore feet after a long day of walking in a great city. Its so much nicer to stay in... More

Was very much looking forward to this stay, but unfortunately encountered a few issues. I had booked the Garden room 5 months ago, but when we turned up was 'upgraded' to another, the 'twin room'. I was surprised and wasn't sure if it was indeed an upgrade...then was offered another room. This room had a little balcony (I like to... More

My husband and I spent a few nights at the Casa Howard in Florence. We loved it. The room was charming, unique, comfortable, clean and beautiful. I would definitely return and stay again. I have and will continue to recommend it to others. It was an experience I will never forget.

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
