“Beautiful B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 26, 2012

The Location was amazing once you were able to read the map of Florence. The hotel is next to the main Train Station and is within walking distance of everything in Florence. We were able to walk to all major sights of the city with ease. The Hotel is very cute and the staff is friendly. Honestly, the bed is the largest I have ever seen in Europe and I travel at least once a month to different countries in Europe. The breakfast at the small cafe down the street really made you feel like an Italian. I would highly recommend this place! Also, the rain shower had great water pressure a rare find at any hotel.

“Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

We were on a trip by train in Italy. Stayed for 1 night in La Residenza as a couple. We chose La Residenza based on comments on trip advisor and we were not disappointed. This B&B is located 2 minutes to train station. You can walk to all attractions in Florence. Staff is very helpfull, they gave us a map and spoted all the main attractions in the city. Rooms have decent size with enough storage and spotlessly clean. They offered complimentary drinks, fruit and snack which was a very nice touch after a tiring train journey. Would recommend this B&B to everyone.

“Boutique accommodation at it's best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 10, 2012

What a wonderful place to stay, just 2 mins walk from the train station, and close to all the major attractions. But what really makes this a stand out place to stay is the wonderful staff who go out of their way to help. The room was super large, and newly renovated with quality fittings. The double glazing & security roller shutter mean the room is super quiet, and dark when your trying to sleep.
We thought the welcome basket was a lovely touch, and highly recommend you stay at this wonderful boutique hotel.

“Loved La Residenza dell'Orafo B&B!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

We chose La Residenza B&B based on trip advisor reviews and were not disappointed. It was so close to the train station, which made it easier travelling with kids. Our room was enormous (for a family of four) and very well equipped. Beds were comfortable. When we arrived we were presented with a basket of fruit and snacks - kids were very happy. Our really helpful host Giulia gave us a map, highlighted all the key sights were and inspired us with some local knowledge... Useful at the local markets and when purchasing leather goods!! We definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again!
