Anna and Beatriz were very friendly, Anna welcomed us and gave us many recommendations for eating and places to explore around the city. I will definitely stay there again. I almost forgot to mention the location is to walking distance to Duomo.

Everything was exceptional! The location is close to almost everything a traveler needs. Sights, restaurants, walking zone, the old city. Perfect location. The property was spotless. There is a dining room with basic supplies making it easy to have breakfast before going out. The staff were very helpful, the city map came pre-marked ready to go.

Very convenient place. The room was comfortable. The staffs were very friendly and kind. Even gave me a map to recommend restaurants.
Maybe because the room next door was husband and wife from loud voice country, very noisy through the wall.

Awesome location in the heart of Florence! The room was tidy, comfortable, and quiet despite being in a busy area! Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful.
Not really an issue, just a warning that you do have to walk up a set of stairs before getting to the elevator. Just be aware if you have large suitcases with you.

Anna and Francesca were wonderful hostesses. The place was so charming and cozy. The breakfast room was well equipped with dishes, coffee makers, cutlery, apples and a refrigerator. Very charming decor.
I did not like the slippery shiny bathroom tile nor that there was a step up from the sink to the toilet and shower. I was so worried about missing the step and falling. Also at times there was a lot of outside noise from the Old Stove Pub directly below our room.

My husband Tim and I stayed for 3 nights August 2025 and found this boutique hotel in a great location. It was recommended by friends who had stayed last year. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and we had views of the good luck pig in the market square. Air conditioning worked and it was a blessing as it was very hot outside!
Nothing was not to like the interior was a delight - a lot of thought has gone into making the place special!

Location was amazing and Anna was a wonderful host! I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Florence with a desire to stay in the city center. The hotel had complimentary coffee / espresso in the kitchen that you could make yourself. Our room has the most beautiful view and the sunrise was amazing!

So many things we liked! This is a perfect location! You can hear a little music at night from the nearby evening entertainment, but loved it. The bed was very comfortable!! There were extra pillows and blankets which I appreciated. The little fridge was nice and cold. The staff provided lots of ideas for restaurants, sites, and general helpful items.
The shower was a little awkward, but functional and great shower-head.

Location, welcoming staff, cozy, decor!
Only thing I wasn’t sure about was the shower. No matter what we did, we got the floor wet.

The room was just lovely, and the breakfast room (though they don't serve breakfast) was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully provided with coffee, espresso machines, many kinds of tea, plates, cups, silverware, and dining table with tablecloth. We bought ham and cheese croissants for breakfast from the bar right around the corner. Margaret and I enjoyed several meals there and it was so cozy. Anna was exceptionally kind and helpful. Margaret twisted her foot in the plaza on our first day and Anna found a place (without our asking) we could buy a "walking boot" at an orthopedic store within walking distance. Upon our arrival, she gave us a kind of orientation with a hand-annotated map showing restaurants and local attractions. I've never had a hostess who went so far out of the ordinary to be helpful.
The only drawback was the initial 20 stairs leading up from the street to the first landing. From there, you can take the lift to the third floor with your luggage when you first arrive. It was a bit inconvenient hauling our luggage up those stairs when we first arrived, but the rest of the experience made it worthwhile.

What a great location and fantastic friendly hosts! The room was perfectly comfortable in an old building with a large modern bathroom and wonderful shower. The AC worked great and the beds were comfortable. Again, the location was fantastic. I’d stay again without hesitation!
There is one flight of steps up to the first floor elevator, it didn’t bother us but just be aware.
