Description
The Soggiorno Casa di Barbano is a place that, while offering modern comforts, conserves it's antique charm.

Mr. Barbano, once a resident here, was a famous vegetable merchant in the 1800's and this, his old house, is situated near the Piazza Indipendenza, at one time the city's vegetable garden.

The Soggiorno (which means pension) is five minutes walking distance from the train station and a block away from Fortezza da Basso, an ex position center, and the Palazzo dei Congressi, a conference center.

A pleasant stroll through the close by San Lorenzo market will bring you to the heart of the renaissance center and the great Duomo church.

Five hundred meters straight down the street and you arrive in Piazza San Marco and can visit Michelangelo's David sculpture in the Accademia del le Belle Arte.

Being a Soggiorno situated on the ground floor, it is extremely easy for the traveler to transport suitcases.

Our rooms are spacious, quiet, and luminous, each complete with a bathroom, air conditioning, television, safe deposit box, and the use of a refrigerator.

In this friendly atmosphere one can find books to consult, a guitar to play, access to internet, and a telephone for short conversations.

We hope to hear from you, Thank you.

Very comfortable accommodations located close to all the attractions and train station. The owner was very pleasant and accommodating. The room and common areas were clean and eclectically decorated. It felt like you were a guest in someone’s home. The breakfast was served by the owner and was very good; juice, coffee, fruit, croissants, bread and assorted condiments. She also left fruit and coffee out if you needed some during the day. The room has a small refrigerator which was convenient if you wanted to store a small snack. Overall our stay was very positive and I would stay there again and highly recommend it for anyone going to Florence.

We stayed from 23/11/23 to 26/11/23. The structure is located just a ten-minute walk from Santa Maria Novella Station. The neighborhood is very quiet, served nearby by buses and there are trattorias with typical products at affordable prices in the area. From the B&B, we reached the most important attractions of Florence on foot in about 15 minutes. The room has a retro style and is spacious. There is both a mini-fridge and a safe. The bathroom is spacious and very clean. The breakfast included in the price is worth it because it's good and they don't give you packaged snacks. The lady who runs the structure is very welcoming and meets the customer's needs. In fact, she kept our luggage after check-out so we could enjoy the half-day we still had before departure. We absolutely recommend it.

A bed and breakfast with an ideal location: a 10-minute walk from the train station and the tram terminal from the airport. City center so close to the places to visit... a few minutes from the central market and the Accademia museum. Quiet street. A warm welcome; late arrival possible and luggage storage for returns at the end of the day. I recommend this place.

The location is great: next to the train station and within walking distance to downtown. The room was clean, except for the bed cover and the toilet carpet that we immediately removed. The host answered all our questions and was very supportive in keeping our luggage before and after our reservation, and printing our boarding passes. The breakfast is good, we recommend adding a portion of granola or muesli to mix with the yogurt to add variety.

Dear Moraq was so kind, warm-hearted, and accessible. She guided us to know the city better when we arrived there. The place was quite nice, clean, and comfortable. The usable items like trash plastic and toilet paper were changed every day. The room cleaned every day. She served a great breakfast every morning, whether you want to sit in the kitchen or the yard. If you want to have an economical stay, this would be the best place to stay, much better than many two or three-star hotels. All in all, it was beyond my expectations. If I come back to Florence, I would definitely come back here again.

La struttura è molto bella, pulita e la posizione è invidiabile (vicina alla stazione dei treni e vicina al centro). La colazione è veramente ricca e abbondante e le stanze sono complete di tutto e pulite. La proprietaria è gentilissima e cordiale. Decisamente una struttura che consiglio a chiunque voglia passare qualche giorno a Firenze.

Casa Barbano è in una posizione molto comoda vicino al centro storico e alla stazione Santa Maria Novella, in una strada poco trafficata. Le camere sono accoglienti e ben riscaldate, fin troppo direi, visto che il riscaldamento è acceso tutta la notte e aprire la finestra è complicato, essendo molto alta. Il bagno è spartano, senza bidet, senza finestra. La colazione, servita in camera, è essenziale. I materassi e le coperte sono piuttosto vecchi, andrebbero rinnovati. Nel complesso Casa Barbano è accogliente, peccato che pur avendo chiesto espressamente letti singoli abbiamo avuto due letti singoli rifatti con lenzuola matrimoniali.
