“Good location but lacking a lot of common things”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 7, 2012 via mobile

Overall charming place with friendly staff. The rooms were minimal and like other reviews there were a TON of rules and lack of amenities. It was extremely hot with no air and VERY noisy. My husband and I left for the day and upon return noticed someone had taken comforter off bed leaving us with just a sheet to sleep with ... Bizarre and a bit intrusive. We also noticed while we were gone someone came in ande shut the windows and turned off the only source of air (the fan). Good location nice staff but next time DEFINITELY worth paying a little more to have bathroom , air conditioning , privacy, and more than a sheet.

“Lovely hotel in a central location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 24, 2012

Alessio & Asumi run a lovely hotel! The room was beautifully decorated and spacious for our family. Alessio gave us several helpful tips on the town including excellent places to eat and drink. For a touristy city like Florence in high season, this was definitely decent value for our money and a great experience too.

Room Tip: Perhaps rooms not facing the street would be quieter. Ours was a bit noisy at night if the window wa...

“A lovely friendly couple run this hotel that is full of character”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 7, 2012

We stayed two nights in this hotel. The owners gave us such a warm welcome, they made us feel completely at ease. The room was spotless with a high ceiling and cool tiled floor. We shared a bathroom (the en suite rooms had already been booked), my husband was concerned about this but the bathroom was nearby and not a problem at all.
Alessio gave us excellent advice about when to queue for museum tickets (we had not bought one in advance) and where to eat suggesting places away from the usual tourist areas.
We had a hire car and were anxious about getting out of Florence as there were alot of one way streets plus roadworks. Alessio was so helpful in marking the way out on a map for us.
Both Alessio and Asumi are lovely happy friendly people. We enjoyed meeting them and staying in their beautiful home.

“Great B and B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 6, 2012

The owners were very nice and showed us great spots for lunch and dinner. The room had a few mosquitoes, but I would definitely recommend this B&B!

“Very friendly! Couple that run hotel are lovely people!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 25, 2012 via mobile

We stayed at this hotel one night, the rooms are rustic Italian feel and the hotel is cozy and very inviting. We were greeted at the door by a smiling couple who were so very friendly! They showed us many local restaurants and wine bars that were NOT tourist traps and very affordable. They were quite accommodating in showing us what to visit in Florence. We felt as if we were staying in someone's home! Great stay!
