We loved our stay at the Residenzia Della Signora. The location could not have been more perfect. Truly in the best neighborhood for shopping restaurants and sight seeing. The room was super clean and comfortable and more importantly QUIET! You would never know the crowds of people on the streets were even there. Matteo and Giavonna were helpful with restaurants recommendations and assisting with a taxi. So glad we found this lovely place to stay!

This was the perfect location for us, a multigenerational family of 10, including 3 children. Having an elevator was extremely helpful with luggage and since one of our family members was recovering from a medical procedure and would not have been able to manage stairs. It was centrally located and a very short walk to many major attractions. The children loved being steps away from the carousel and across the street from excellent gelato. I cannot say enough about how kind and welcoming Stefano was. He was available to us at anytime and never made it seem like a burden to respond to a request. For this reason I cannot imagine staying at any other accommodation in Florence.

Location is excellent... right in the heart of the city. The Host is a very nice and helpful gentleman. The room was a bit spartan, but nice and clean. The bathroom was very basic, but also clean. However... the ground floor of the building, which includes a substantial vestibule and elevator waiting area absolutely reeks of methane gas, as in, the stench of human you know what. This made the unavoidable task of entering and leaving our residence an absolutely awful experience; to the point, that we planned our last days around avoiding the odor by making sure we only entered and exited the residence one time each day. Of course, this pretty much eliminated the value of staying in the heart of the city. I also want to mention that we requested ice and were told they don't provide it and there is no place nearby to get any. I find this odd and unacceptable in a supposedly 3 star property. As a final positive note, I want to mention that the hotel has a breakfast agreement with the bakery next door, Il Forno S.r.l. I highly recommend you have breakfast there, regardless of whether you stay at Residenza Della Signoria. It is a wonderful little bakery/cafe with amazing pastries and cappuccino.…

The location can't be beat - right in the center of Florence and the Duomo, the Piazza della Signoria and the Piazza della Repubblica. The rooms are very clean, roomy and well appointed and maintained. Stephano was a charming host and provided good advice. This was our second time in Florence so we were less concerned with the gallieries, etc, and more interested in just soaking up the Italian way of life. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Florence.

We stayed here for 9 days in Sept/Oct. Stefano was a wonderful host with great suggestions on what to see/where to eat (we very much enjoyed the conversations), and his staff just as helpful. The location was absolutely Perfect being a few minutes from the Duomo, Piazza de Repubblica, Palazzo Vecchio,and almost across the street from Orsanmichele Church. Great restaurants, bakeries, gelato shops, and a small grocery are within steps from Residenza della Signoria!

This B&B was awesome. It was our third hotel in Florence after returning from Verona. The location was very good, close to everything. You can see the duomo from the window. Stefano was very accommodating and allowed us to choose any room from three different sizes. I think we were the only ones there on our first night. The cold water dispenser in the common room was very handy. The cafe next door served nice breakfast, great gelato across the street and pizza about half a block away. I felt very safe on the third floor and security was good. Bed was comfortable and very large (king size). AC was fantastic. It was very clean and nicely appointed. We would definitely look at using this B&B again.

We’ve just returned from a three night visit. We first stayed here in 2010 and it was lovely to return. We even had the same room with a wonderful view of the duomo which was fantastic! The room was spacious, with beautiful furniture and it was spotlessly clean. The air conditioned and window shutters meant it was lovely and cool inside the room. Stefano was very helpful and runs a lovely establishment. He gave us restaurant recommendations, taxi numbers and emailed local hairdressers in advance of our visit as we had to attend a wedding. The little kitchen has cool water available, a fridge and a coffee machine -60 cent for a coffee. The location is just super-only minutes from the main sights yet our room was wonderfully quiet. We would definitely stay here again when in Florence and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.…

Great location- you can literally walk everywhere from this spot. Clean and well maintained Free water to fill up your reusable water bottles. Best gelato place right across from the exit. Quiet at night and comfortable. Beautiful architecture and room design. Plenty of room for all of your stuff. Great price. Safe location. Cons- NONE This place rocks. Do not look elsewhere.

May 25 --27 The group split up after departing Matera. We stayed two nights in one of our favorite cities, Florence. We've been here twice before and saw the main sights. This time we just wanted to randomly "see and do." The train from FLR to Novelle Station is only 1.5E pp. Then we took the taxi to the BB for 10E. I would recommend this if you aren't lugging more than 1 large suitcase. Stefano warmly greeted us and gave us an orientation showing us how to make coffee, minibar with free water, and a microwave. We also got the all-important map. We had a choice of two rooms, but the obvious one was #7 with a direct view of the top of the Duomo. It was a big room with high ceilings, and very quiet. Stefano gave us directions to our dinner resto. And, more importantly, he told me where to find strong expresso early in the morning when I explore the neighborhood. Caffe La Posta. I can give BB Residenza della Signoria my strongest recommendation.…

We enjoyed our junior suite for three nights in May 2019 as did our friends in their junior suite. Stefano was a helpful and cordial host, emailing me directions on how to access the building with codes and answering a few of my emails on dining recommendations. The airport taxi (33.50 euros for 4 of us w/ 4 pieces of luggage) was able to drop us of directly in front of the building door, right across from a gelato shop we would soon begin to frequent. We took the elevator up to the third floor and we were welcomed by Stefano. Both suites were large, had high ceilings, and some old, intact architectural features. Our friends ended up with the coveted #7 room, a twin-bedded room with the view of the Duomo's dome. Our room was of similar size but with a king bed and a view of the Orsanmichele when I stuck my head out of the window. There was an armoire for hanging things along with the safe. Another cabinet with four shelves, and a desk with tea/coffee items with a refrigerator behind a bottom desk door. The bathroom had a "beam me up, Scotty" shower stall along with a bidet. There was a bit of long shelf running along the wall of the bathroom behind the sink allowing me to spread out the toiletries. It definitely was a spacious and comfortable room! We could hear the bells from the Duomo...magical! Stefano mapped out some nearby locations for us and answered our questions. In his small office was a coffee machine and a water dispenser for your water bottle. Highly recommend! …
