The location is excellent, very close to the Duomo. Check-in was easy, and there is an elevator, which makes it a great option if you’re traveling with luggage.
The shower doors didn’t close properly and seemed to be broken. Also, the room could have been brighter, as it felt a bit dark.

location was nice
Don’t bother renting from this property. AC was broken and it was set at the lowest temperature yet at 18 celsius yet my room was 27 celsius the entire time.. i went to the property manager and they basically said “that’s how it is”.. don’t even bother staying here… no hot water the first 2 days either.. and the shower was leaking.

The location was fantastic! The view of the street with restaurants, shopping, etc., was great. The security was excellent. The air conditioning was great!
The only refrigerator was a small community space. All guests shared the same refrigerator. With this being a Bed & Breakfast, we felt that breakfast should be included. Breakfast was an additional charge. We stayed in a room right next to the office desk. Next time, we would like a different room.

The location is amazing. I enjoyed staying in the room becase it has a lot of space, cool bed. The window view to a small yard. Beautiful palace with the elevator. The staff is really nice and helpful. Thanks to the girl receptionist, who told and described everything very well to us. Hope she will become a huge person in art industry. Thanks to the housemaid to assist us with city tax, cause we should leave 2 hours before the reception starts to work.
The reception hours, we havent been aware by the property that city tax shoud be paid only in cash. The shower door and the door to the bathroom were demaged, so it wasnt very comfortable to use it.

I was happily surprised with how quiet and private my room felt. Everything was clean and worked well and I loved the view over the garden and the unique long history of the building . The elevator is so helpful too.

Location was great!
Dark and had a slow small elevator. Lots of stairs. Breakfast wasn’t great for the money. Soaps and toiletries were small or nonexistent.

Simple,very clean and well maintained, in an historic building. It’s not fancy, but it’s very traditional Italian. If you’re only in Florence for a few days and plan to be out and about much of your time, this is about as good as it gets.

We had a large, clean, and well-maintained room. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, and the staff kindly facilitated our late check-in at 11 pm
The street-facing room was quite loud late into the night (until around 2–3 am), and early morning noise from housekeeping was also disruptive
