Our stay this weekend in Florence was made even more enjoyable by the structure that hosted us. The structure is more than dignified, skillfully managed by the very accommodating Mrs. Claudia, in a strategic position, well served by the tram line with a stop just a step away. We will return.

The room is spacious, large and very clean. The tram stops 2 minutes walk from the bed and breakfast so it can be easily reached from Santa Maria Novella station. Claudia, who manages the property, is a kind and helpful person, she provided me with all the directions to reach the bed and breakfast and welcomed me very well, also recommending some places to visit and routes to take. In the morning there is a coffee machine available (coffee, barley coffee, dec, chocolate) and also some packaged snacks. Finally, I found the property economically accessible compared to today's prices and recommend it to those thinking of taking a trip to Florence for a few days.

Great value for money. The manager is impeccable, the cleanliness is impeccable. The tram outside the hotel allows you to be in the center in 5 minutes. The structure is very well served, from the pastry shop to the bakery, laundry, hairdresser, and various shops. I was very satisfied with everything. You can reserve parking so you can stay peacefully without worries.

This Bed and Breakfast is located on the fourth floor of an elegant building with a lift and is an excellent starting point to move around Florence. A 5-minute walk away is the tram stop that takes you to the historic center and Santa Maria Novella station in 15 minutes. My room was very spacious and bright, equipped with all comforts. The bathroom was also functional and well taken care of. The cleanliness is truly excellent. Breakfast is not served, but there is a whole kitchen available with a kettle for tea, a coffee machine with pods, and a basket of packaged snacks. Mrs. Claudia, finally, is uniquely kind and makes you feel at home. I would gladly return here.

I stayed with the very kind Claudia with my son. The Bed and Breakfast is in an excellent location to reach the historic center or the "Parco delle Cascine" area. The rooms are very spacious and spotless. The kitchen where breakfast (very substantial!) is served is equipped with everything. There is the possibility of having a parking space in a closed garage, which is a true luxury in Florence, and in the area, there are bars, pastry shops, pizzerias, restaurants, and markets. I had a wonderful time and I recommend it.
