What a lovely place. Unique decoration. Close to the Duomo yet unbelievably quiet. Kind and attentive host. Lots of little details (coffee counter, complimentary mini bar) that make it a relaxed stay.

What a fantastic find. Right in the centre of Florence, in a beautiful old building and a view of the Duomo from your bedroom with lots of thoughtful design details and a fresh cooked breakfast included. Would definitely recommend.

Firstly, a beautiful location! Quality of decor in the room and en-suite were top notch as was the comfort of the bed. But the hosts took it to another level entirely! Thank you.

I have never found a perfect establishment like Residenza Madiba. Massimiliano and Jessica are wonderful. Availability, professionalism, and kindness are predominant in this fantastic B&B. The breakfast is excellent. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your hospitality. It is highly recommended, both for the location and for everything I have listed. Well done guys, keep it up.
