Excellent Hotel and location

Review of Bellevue House
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 2, 2017via mobile
Walking distance from Florence train station. Super convenient location. The owner is Luciano Michel. He, his wife and son will take excellent care of all your needs!!! He will also give you wonderful suggestions and recommendations ranging from restaurants, shopping and transportation. The rooms are super clean and very comfortable! We were 3 couples and all of us agree that it was a wonderful stay (2 nights). Highly recommend!! Our ages are 60+.

luciano, Owner at Bellevue House, responded to this reviewResponded October 9, 2017

Dear Meryl, thanks for your nice review ( although placed in the average group ). I am really sorry for the low water pressure in the shower due to some problems with the Water Board in those days. The fact that our historic building has not an elevator is actually very well displayed in our important information within the online travel agency you have used for your booking. The room you have booked was the only one with a private external bathroom which costs less than all the other ones with en-suite bathroom. Sorry that you did not realize that during your booking procedures. We appreciated your compliments re Staff, cleanliness and property's location. Thanks for having found a moment to rate us and best regards, Luciano Michel, owner

Very convenient for the SMN station and the central sights, Bellevue House is a guesthouse offering spacious and immaculately clean rooms, en suite with compact and well equipped bathrooms. No food or drink on site but the recommendations for local cafes and restaurants are all you need. The family running the establishment are exceptionally welcoming and we'll certainly stay here again next time we're in Florence

This place is on the top floor of what used to be the residence of a countess, according to Alessandro, the son's owner. The ceilings and windows are tall and the front door, massive. My room, overlooking a garden, was peaceful and quiet, an oasis in busy Florence! I was awakened to the sounds of birds and the tolling of church bells. The location is excellent, within walking distance to everything and a few blocks from the Firenze SMN station (I realized, after the fact, of the importance of being close to the station after dragging my poor luggage over the city's famous cobblestoned streets). It is also easy to find as it is across from the renowned Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. Luciano, the owner, is welcoming, gracious and helpful with many tips on places to eat and visit. Bellevue House does not have breakfast but there are numerous places nearby. It also does not have an elevator, so if you cannot carry your luggage, ring the bell at street level and someone will come rushing down. I will not hesitate to come here again for the hospitality, location and the charm that elevates it above the ordinary.

Room tip: Room overlooking garden is quiet

We loved this place. The owners are so friendly and helpful. Our room was great, spacious, high ceilings, two large windows. Very comfortable. Our hosts told us great places to eat and places and things to see.

Room tip: Get the room on the front of the building. You do have to go up the stairs. The staff will take your bags up.

Stayed here for 6 nights. We were given a large bottle of water every morning! The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. Provided bus/train times, maps and recommended local restaurants. Very clean rooms and perfect location. Would definitely stay here again!
