I visited Florence and stayed here for two weeks as part of a group tour. The room was immaculate with a large bathroom and a small kitchenette. The staff were exceptionally helpful and the courtyard space was a great place for our group to convene and "wine" down. I was in a corner room and we had a little trouble with the free WiFi reception there but we had no trouble accessing it out in the courtyard. By far the strongest praise is for their incredible breakfast buffet! Almost indescribable but an outstanding assortment of food and drink and everything delicious. A great way to stoke up for a day exploring the beautiful city of Florence. Within walking distance of the train station and many local landmarks. I highly recommend these accommodations.

Room tip: The bedrooms are all upstairs in each apartment but the couch downstairs can be made into a bed. Be sure and let them know if you have any handicaps and they will make accommodations for you. Corner suites are larger rooms.

La Contessina is a wonderful apartment/hotel tucked in behind the hustle-bustle of beautiful Florence. Close to the train station, historic sites, wonderful restaurants and unbelievable shopping. Easy walking distance to everything. The owners, daughters and son-in-laws manage the facility 24-hours a day. Breakfast was always a treat with the local meats, cheeses, frittatas, bruschettas, fruits and, of course, wonderful pastries. Immaculate rooms with complete kitchenettes and spacious loft bedrooms made this the perfect home away from home. We were on a private tour with 11 other folks and this is the hotel our tour guide has used for the last 7 years with 4 trips per year. Obviously, this is a winner!

I booked this hotel on the strength of previous Tripadvisor reviews and was not disappointed. Right in the centre. Comfy and good value for money. The rooms are not sound-proofed that well but due to its setting on a quiet muse this was not an issue for us.

We stayed here, the eight of us, comprising four adults and four children, for one week, and I must say, the stay was memorable and fun! Situated very strategically 5 minutes away from the SMN Firenze station, and in the heart of Florence, where everything a virgin traveller to Florence would want to explore, this family run place is super convenient apart from being ultra family- friendly. The staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable- by suggesting places to visit, and offering us tips on things to buy and what to do, and even preparing special breakfast (chef's specialty), prepared lovingly by Mario. The kids had a blast, the rooms were spacious, well-equipped with 2 tvs, and ultimately, all this for a very good price. Also, we had to cancel a day at the eleventh hour due to emergency, but the amazing staff happily agreed to reimburse us, and this really touched our hearts. All in all, I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wishes for convenience, security and ultimately, a comfortable, pleasant experience in Florence. I miss this place!

It's a super lovely family run hotel and have always been our relaxing "home" during the 8-day stay in Florence. I stayed at an apartment for with my parents and we all enjoyed it very much!! About 5-10 mins walk from train station, cozy, calm, very clean (from the room to small details like towels), friendly staff, well-equiped kitchen with cooking utilities (you'll have to pay EUR25 for cleansing for the stay), breakfast with wide selection.. You have everything you need and it's a place to relax after a long day travelling. Do ask them for advices on restaurants and day trips ;) Some good restaurants just closeby and super good value!! I'll definitely recommend it and look forward to return!!
