The location is perfect for visiting the city. The street where it is located seemed safe even in the evening. The room is very spacious, welcoming, and clean (as well as the en-suite bathroom). The soundproof windows isolate from the passage of tourists. The owner was very helpful and kind for the reservation and check-in. In the room, there are a kettle and tea bags. It was a perfect stay and if I had to return to Florence, I would definitely stay there again.

Relais Accademia is strategically located to fully experience the center of Florence: a few steps away you can admire the David, the Basilica and the Baptistery. Another positive aspect is the very spacious and comfortable rooms. Punctual reception and always available for any request. Overall, I recommend it.

Federico, the manager, was very helpful and friendly. Note that the property is located in the city center, so it is inside the ZTL. If you arrive by car, it can be a bit complicated to reach; you can leave the car outside the ZTL or park it in a paid parking lot in front of the property. It is inside a historic apartment, the room is rather spartan but still functional and welcoming. Very clean. The bathroom in the room is rather small and lacks a bidet. However, the location is very convenient and despite being in the city center, it is also very quiet. Comfortable bed and pillow. There is also a small terrace overlooking a delightful tree-lined courtyard. Reasonable price compared to Florence's standards. I was traveling for work and would definitely return.

Property: 9 | Cleaning: 9 | Host: 10 | Location: 10 | Price/Quality: 9

We had a really spacious room on the 'piano nobile' first floor of a flat in original conditions of a Palazzo with long corridors, etc. Good bed and mattress. Windows facing the street with good soundproofing, people walking on the street did not disturb us at all. The host is very friendly and helpful, and we appreciated that he rents rooms in a flat of his own. He offered us a late checkout as cleaning was delayed by some hours on the day of our departure. Perfect location. Furniture is a creative mix of old and new, the bathroom was rather small but totally fine for us. We would return to this place and recommend it to others, if they (as we do) prioritize originality and local spirit over newness and perfection.

An excellent stay! Relais Accademia is located just a 1-minute walk from the Galleria dell'Accademia and very close to other sites such as the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery. The Firenze SM Novella train station is just a 15-minute walk away, so there is no need for a taxi. The room is incredibly spacious and well furnished with a modern bathroom. Federico, the manager, is very kind and kept in touch from booking to check out. I will recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Florence.

The answer from the host:
Gent. ma Doris, la ringrazio della recensione. Vorrei puntualizzare che ci sono le finestre insonorizzate oltre ai vecchi infissi (quindi doppie finestre!) Io stesso dormo in quel lato della struttura spesso e volentieri, certo è che si dorme con le finestre aperte, Essendo a due passi dal Duomo qualche rumore è inevitabile sentirlo!per quanto riguarda il rapporto qualità prezzo, una camera singola di 35 metri quadri, nel pieno centro di Firenze in altissima stagione a 70€ non credo sia facile da trovare!Spero comunque che vi siate trovate bene nonostante questo inconveniente!

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. Il gestore è di una gentilezza straordinaria. Camere confortevoli e silenziose, munite di TV, AC, wifi ben funzionante. Unico consiglio: se avete esigenze particolari per shampoo e bagnodoccia portateveli da casa perché lì troverete solo sapone generico per le mani. Ottimo. Ci tornerò sicuramente.
