The location was amazing. Everything that we wanted to do was within walking distance. The room was very nice and clean. Loved the little kitchen/dining area where you could get coffee. Room was very clean and loved being able to look out and watch and listen to the music at night.

I enjoyed the location & how well I could rest because the Boticelli room was quiet space. I also liked having access to a communal kitchen to be able to meet some other guests.
Watching tv comfortably was challenging because it was on the desk diagonally from beds.

I lived the location and the staff was kind and very prompt to respond to any question. The host even reached out to tell me about local celebrations happening during my stay! It was so close to every neighborhood. I could walk to the river every night to watch the sunset.
The pub outside could be a little loud. But the room had a three layer window. Close it up and you can't hear a thing.

The location was nice as it was close to everything in Florence. The room was quiet and nice. In the evening for about an hour there was violin music from the square across from our room - making it very pleasant.

This was my fifth stay at Cavalcanti Guest House, which probably says everything. We stayed for four nights, and once again it felt like coming home. The location in the heart of Florence is perfect — normally it is easiest to arrive by train, but this time we had a car and reserved a nearby garage, which worked out very well. The atmosphere is calm, welcoming, and authentically Florentine. The rooms are charming, comfortable, and full of character, and the hospitality is consistently wonderful. The hosts are wonderful. One thing that I really appreciate are the double windows, so even though the guest house is right in the middle of a busy area, the rooms remain wonderfully quiet. Every stay here reminds me why I keep returning. I would not stay anywhere else in Florence.

Beautiful common rooms, great location in Florence.
My room was above a Pub below. Ask for a room.away from the Pub and it will be a great choice.

Gracious and helpful staff, elegant yet comfortable facility and furnishings, close to main city sights
The entry stairs, tiring to navigate with luggage or after a long day sightseeing. Occasionally outside noise would be audible due to central location but most rooms were effectively soundproofed

The nicest most helpful people run this guest house. It reminded me of Florence from days gone by. Our stay was one of best parts of the trip.

Excellent location. Very centrally located and the rooms were very quiet thanks to the double windows. Also loved having access to the kitchen/dining area to meet as a group, enjoy breakfast, coffee, wine, etc.
Shower enclosure was slightly awkward, but this was a very minor. Everything was great

The owner was so sweet and had our rooms ready early for our arrival. She also provided detailed maps with lots of recommendations for us which was so helpful! The rooms were decorated so nicely and were very comfortable. The property was also in such an ideal central location to everything.

Breakfast room was nice with a lot of tools for making breakfast drinks. In room frig was a plus. Anna is a friendly host. Close walk to tourist hot spots. Always clean.
Could get loud and difficult to enter the building at night with the close proximity to bustling adjacent bars. Be aware there are a lot of steps. Only one floor or so not accessible from the lift. Not a problem for us, just something to note.

Great location. Breakfast room with small appliances and coffee/tea was great. We could have take away at night or a little snack before heading out for the day. Self serve laundry facilities only a short walk.
Near a nightclub and a bit noisy late at night.

The location was phenomenal! About a 7-10 minute walk to the Duomo and pretty much anything else! The room was so cute and cozy, with an extraordinary bed (I slept so good). The facilities were also super clean and the bathroom was very spacious. On top of it all the host was so sweet! Super friendly and responsive. Would most definitely stay here again!
