Santo Spirito is a great neighborhood, and this location is perfect. We saw more locals than turists. Clean and comfortable... A great value. Very close to pitti palace, boboli gardens, and the specola museum- all must sees.

Off the beaten path, but perfectly located, Althea Rooms offers the old world charm and quaint atmosphere I search for when traveling. The modern sounds in this ancient city lull me to sleep as the cool breezes flow through the window, which also offers an excellent view of the neighborhood streets. Were I to come o Florence again, this is... More

After a pleasant 20 minute walk from the train station we were greeted by out host Antonio, who lives in the apartment opposite, calling to us through the window that he would be right with us. This immediately pleased me, as it conjured memories of Italians in films. He showed us to our room, gave us ten minutes to settle,... More

Traditional Santo Spiritu neighbourhood south of the river, near Pitti Palace, in a quieter, residential area. Host Antonio most accommodating. Reasonably priced (for Florence), close to cafes, restaurants, grocery stores. 25-30 steps up inner staircase and tight squeeze into apartment, but a comfortable space with in-room internet & frig. Not B&B... would have appreciated a kettle for tea. Good location... More

We slept 2 nights in this hotel with my wife and my 2 little children. Unfortunately, there had been a misunderstanding about the nights I had booked, but there was still a room available. I cannot speak about other rooms of these 2 former flats, but our room was not conveniently arranged : a big cupbord and an AC in... More

Althea Rooms is a 20 minute walk from the train station. Antonio is a great host. He provided us great dinner recommendations and gave us a bottle of wine upon arrival. The AC does not work well. The room was clean but average. The closet had been converted into a shower. Given the chance to return to Florence, we would... More
