Description
The “Locanda dei poeti” is located on the first and second floor of a 14 century building, on top of the oldest wine shop of florence, the only one left in the centre that makes its wine, since the 1960, in the S. Lorenzo market area.
Few step away from the most important monuments and museum of Florence, from the “S. M. N. ” train station and also from the “Fortezza da Basso” and the “congress palace” where the most important fair take place.
The “Locanda dei poeti” comes from a Massimiliano and Martina’s idea to create a warm and friendly place, not just a simple guest house, but a meeting point for the ones whose love this city, those whose come to Florenece for pleasure or to work and want to have their own address in the historical city centre. It’s a plce dedicated to classical and contemporary poetry, arranged on two floors.
At the first floor you can dreathe the atmosphere of the classical Florence thaks to the “Lorenzo il Magnifico”’s room and the “Dante Alighieri”‘s one.
Both rooms are furnished with classical stile fuirniture made by local artists as to bring you back at the atmosphere of florentian renaissance.
The Floor are made using tipical florentian majolica with encraved on some of two poet’s work.
the second flor is dedicated to the contemporary poetry, and in here we can find the “Mediterranea”’sroom furnished in modern stile using tipical mediteranean colours, and the “orientale”, s room with a bed made of wengè wood wich it matches with the tones of grey and oarage and the old wooden tone of the floor.
In every rooms you can find every comfort satellite tv, enternet connection and private bathroom.
The guest can have breakfast at any time using our voucher at one of the two bras just down the street.
Here you’d choose between a swwet and an international breakfast.
We also have a special convention with the restaurant “La Gratella”, that has been recognized in Tuscany as tipical and florentian food” restaurant
In the common area available a small klitchen and a cosy living room where you’d enjoy our little library.
to celebrate the first year of the activity of our guest house, we created the “vigna dei Poeti”: a new wine label.

Structure in a very convenient location for those arriving by train, a few minutes from the Duomo. Very clean and precise management, friendly and helpful. There is a small kitchen and living room available to guests, equipped with the necessary dishes and it is very convenient for a quiet breakfast (there is an excellent bakery in front).

The answer from the host:
Sinceramente non c’era nessun fraintendimento sull'orario della consegna della stanza. in tutto il mondo le stanze vengono consegnate dopo le 14; se il giorno prima dell'arrivo dell’ospite la camera é occupata è ovvio che non può essere consegnata alle 11 di mattina. Come facciamo ad avere il tempo di pulirla se nella nostra struttura il check out è alle 12?!?per di più vi abbiamo dato la possibilità di stare fino alle 17 in stanza il giorno della vostra partenza senza pagare nessun supplemento.forse se vi facevamo lasciare la camera alle 12 come tutti, avreste capito come funziona. O forse nemmeno.. Visto che pare che il suo voto sia condizionato da questa convinzione, non c'è altro da dire..

I was traveling by train for work and I was looking for a Bed and Breakfast that was close to the Florence station. The Locanda dei Poeti is not very far from the Santa Maria Novella stop, assuming you're not carrying a lot of luggage, it takes about 8 minutes on foot. The structure is nice, beautiful phrases of poets on the walls, the room cleanliness is excellent. I stayed in a single room on the first floor, perfect bathroom and I found extra blankets and pillows in the wardrobe. I could bring my little cat with me, because pets are allowed. Via Guelfa, where the Bed and Breakfast is located, has at least three trattorias and in the surroundings there are supermarkets, bars, restaurants, a pharmacy and souvenir shops. The structure is a short walk from the historic center, ideal for a dive into Tuscan art. I couldn't meet the owners but we were in touch throughout my stay that lasted less than 24 hours. Florence cannot be seen in one night but, if I return, I will stop again to sleep at the Locanda dei Poeti, hospitality and cleanliness assured. Thank you.

The location is not very central but is a short distance from both the station and the center. The room we liked even though it was not very big, small but adequate bathroom, air conditioning and TV available. Nearby you can find both places to eat and small supermarkets. Manager always available and kind, prompt in case of need. The breakfast is good but the choice and quantity are too few, in the end you are limited to a cappuccino or juice, with croissant and glass of water. All in all the experience was positive, thank you.

Great bed and breakfast near the station and well taken care of in detail. However, the breakfast needs to be reviewed considering the proposal to pay 5 euros more than the rate indicated on the Bed and Breakfast portal. Still recommended.

Sono stata un week end con mia sorella in questa struttura. Oltre all'estrema gentilezza dei gestori che ci hanno anche dato indicazioni precise su dove poter pranzare e cenare in ristoranti tipici, abbiamo potuto apprezzare la cura e la pulizia del posto e il fatto che sia in una posizione ottima.
Lo consiglio e ci tornerò di sicuro.

Struttura deliziosa, non particolarmente ampia, ma dotata di spazi in uso comune (per esempio il cucinino e il piccolo soggiorno); molto buona la posizione a pochi passi da San Lorenzo e da piazza del Duomo.
Ottime la cortesia e la disponibilità dei gestori, così come la pulizia dei locali.
