I just returned from a trip to Italy & was fortunate enough to end it with a 2 night stay at Bencista. Go & enjoy sitting on the terrace ,enjoying a bottle of wine & taking in the stunning views of Florence. The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Dinner in the huge dining room is perfectly simple and... more

Stayed here for 4 nights in October 2008. This property overlooks Florence in the hills. Some rooms have excellent views to Florence . First night Rm 17 - bath with hand shower. Moved night 2 to Rm 22 with excellent full bath room with separate shower. Beds comfortable and good size. This is not a modern establishment so walls were... more

We have stayed here a number of times and it is always a wonderful experience. It is an easy drive from downtown Florence and the view is incredible. The breakfast and dinners are simple but delicious and always so fresh. The room furnishings are very simple but the atmosphere is so delightful it does not matter. more

Having just arrived from an upgrade to a 3-room suite at a Westin on Venice's Grand Canal, the Pensione Bencista fell a bit short of our expectations. Service wasn't as friendly for us as others have posted - though this may have been a result of our choice to take breakfast only - not the half or full board. Our... more

It was wonderful to stay in this accommodation and view Florence from the terrace in the early morning and at sunset. I think people should be aware though that the bus stop is about a fifteen minute walk up-hill all the way, and I mean up-hill. The driveway into the hotel is quite long and very hilly on the way... more

My wife and I spent 6 nights at the Pensione Bencista. We will never forget the view from our room . Every morning we enjoyed opening the shutters to a view of the City of Florence. The location is perfect for visitng Florence. A bus stops 5 minutes from the front door and takes only 25 minutes to town. The... more

This was an amazing stay in an Italian hotel with real character. The Hotel is situated on the hill overlooking Florence so you have romantic views of this busy city. Florence is as you would imagine but it was lovely to get away from the city and stay in this old fashioned hotel where the family make you feel so... more

One of the qualities that makes Pensione Bencista so special is that it is a community of travelers. We eat as a community. Dinner is served between 7:30 and 8:30 from a set menu. Our tables are numbered according to our rooms, and the result of sitting at one place is conversation with new neighbours. As we chat with our... more

A wonderful family-owned property. Grandmother-daughter and granddaughter are all involved in the pensione. Our room was spacious and well-kept. The staff was exceedingly helpful. The view from the pensione is simply wonderful (ask for a room with a view). We were on a circumnavigation and made only one mistake in our bookings - we took off from the pensione for... more

I used Tripadvisor to find this remarkable place. We loved it so much, we cut our trip in Tuscany short and returned for 2 additional nights. The location is like no other and the accommodations have so much charm, character and comfort. more
