My husband and I stayed at Casa Di Barbano for three nights - October 7-10. On our previous trip to Forence in 2006, we had a enjoyable stay at Rezidenza Il Villino, but it was fully booked this time. And, in retrospect, I'm glad it was. Our friends recommended Casa di Barbano, and it was a terrific recommendation. The room... more

We arrived in Florence for a 2 day whirlwind tour. Moraq was a wonderful host and provided great ideas and gave us a tip for the best dinner we had for our whole stay in Italy (Trattoria La Gratella). Even lent us an umbrella on a drizzly day! The only complaint is that it's a little further away from the... more

We stayed at this B&B for 3 nights and certainly enjoyed the comfort and cosiness of this small charming hotel. It is actually a family home led by the extremely nice Moraq. She lives next door with her husband and 2 kids. The bedrooms are large and ellegantly decorated, old-style charming. She brings you breakfast to the room every morning... more

I loved this place. It was my first time in Florence and exceeded expectations. And they served the best coffee I have ever had in my life, hands down. And I'm from Seattle. The room and bathroom were large and clean. The room and street felt very secure. We were somewhat out of the way from the sights, though, but... more

Casa Di Barbano is operated by Moraq, whom is a wonderful B&B host: she is welcoming, helpful, and at hand to provide guidance on Firenze and the surrounding regions. Language is not an issue, as Moraq speaks both fluent Italian and English. The location of Casa Di Barbano is approximately 600m away from Florences’ Santa Maria Novella train station. It... more

We came across Casa Di Barbano through www.crosspollinate.com This b&b lying in a historical district offers clean, comfortable rooms at an affordable price in a convenient location to the train station and the heart of Florence. Moraq, the owner, is always available with a friendly smile, useful advice about "what to see and do". Moraq provides a satisfying, tasty breakfast.... more

Great value for money. Our room was very pretty--high ceilings, a tall window, modern bathroom. Outside our room was a cozy library with travel and art books on Florence and Italy which we raided. The place is on the first floor of a condo/apartment, a 10-minute walk away from the train station and a 3-minute walk to the bus stops... more

We chose the B&B through the net/reviews and were not disappointed!! We stayed 3 nights after our stay in Cinque Terre and left Italy via Pisa. Both connected to Santa Novella (Florence) railway station which is just 5-10 minutes walk from the B&B. It is also very conveniently located for the wonders of Florence and our hostess Morag gave us... more
