Excellent

The included breakfast was great. Location is close and walkable to main attractions. My only cons would be the absence of elevators to the property, but there is a Luggage storage facility nearby for a fee of course.
Located at the top of a beautiful historic building, our stay has wonderful views of Florence and plenty of space to welcome us to the city. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise to help fuel our long days exploring. Would recommend to any couple looking for a suite to enjoy for themselves.

No elevator, on the third floor, 150 steps up, mosquitoes, but at great location, close to everything, great service and great breakfast.
This b&b is fantastic for the right people. To be clear, it is a fourth floor walk up with NO elevator. If this works for you, then the location is great. It’s walking distance to everything and yet not in a main square, so it is quiet at night. It takes some direction following to get in the first time, but everything was very well explained.
Excelent staff!!!!
Very cheerful and allways very helpful and super nice!

The location is wonderful. The actual room we stayed was ok. It was clean but you'll notice in some of the reviews the room could use an upgrade (paint and side tables a little larger). Staff was ok. Knowing that what time we were arriving I had expected to have someone meet us. I had to call and we were given a code to pickup our keys. We did not receive the wine that was advertised.

Good location for the price. They provide breakfast from 8-10am. The staff was easy to reach and provided helpful information. Room was very small, only 1 skylight type window.
Nice room with clean and good shared bath. No problem.
Big stairs to get to third floor. I praise I didnt have a suitcase.
Check in via WhatsApp took like 30 minutes.
Great location, quiet because windows open towards enclosed courtyard but no views, four story walk up is tiring after hours of walking the city and not easy if you have a lot of luggage, rooms are large and clean with great showers with hot water and small fridge, AC works great which is a must in summer, this is a B&B so except for initial check in, no staff available.

Awkward check in service. Was told they had a secure baggage storage which ended up just being behind the unmanned reception desk and very visible. Bed was horrible, just two small beds pushed together and the constantly slid apart due to the cheap frame. Would not recommend.
Nice place , good location.
NO parking on-site ! $ 30 - $45 a night in the surrounding garages. Wi-Fi wasn’t working properly , lots of stairs to access the hotel if you have heavy luggage.

Lovely stay in the room with the fresco ceiling. Clean room and comfortable bed. Very quiet (including the fridge and the aircon). Only marked it down due to the bathroom handle being broken. Yes there are lots of stairs but worth the effort. Good breakfast which they kindly served early on the days that we had bookings to get to. Very friendly and helpful.
Everything was amazing. It is posted that there is no lift. 3 flights of stirs with cases is a challenge but we managed. Be prepared! Overall I’d give them a proper thumbs up.
From the moment we arrived, to the day we left, we felt so welcomed! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Keep in mind, this hotel is on the third floor with no elevator. The rooms are spacious, although showing their age. I felt that was fine as the building itself is historical. The shower is small- and I’m 5’7! Very clean and within walking distance of everything! The included continental breakfast was perfect before heading out to explore the city. We would definitely stay here again!

The lication is wonderful. The staff was friendly and helpful. To have an international b&b on the top floor without and elevator is a bit of an issue. Not all guests are 25 year old athletes haha. But over all. This place was charming. Just fix the ac unit.
Dirty room. The garbage wasn’t taken out and there were bad odors in the bedroom and bathroom. They also had zero toilet paper and the sink was dirty. The bed was hard as a rock as well. The residence was on the fifth floor with no elevator which was not shared in the listing. Additionally, took a long time to communicate and receive the virtual key. Do not recommend.
The room was extremely dirty. Even after we requested cleaning the next day, they didn’t remove the hairs, and we had to take a picture and send it to show how bad it was.
There was no extra toilet paper, and when we called the staff, they said we had to wait until the next day to get one.
The heater didn’t work, and they told us they don’t turn it on until November.
Overall, very poor service and maintenance. Not recommended. I would never book here again.
Manager,Marcelo was disappointing and demanded an additional €1000, for a room with a bathroom in the room for a few days stay. Very disappointing information on the staircase being 5 stories high without ascensor/elevator.
If you are coming to this establishment with luggage do yourselves a favor and avoid at all cost!!!!! We arrived with luggages for a 5 night stay the building had no elevator and the place is on the highest floor. When I spoke to the host to see if there was any way someone could come down to help us she said at the moment nobody is there but she will let me know if she can have someone help us on the day of our checkout. She never got back to us, so a day before the check out I messaged her to see if she was able to get someone to help us out she replied back saying "Unfortunately our guesthouse doesn't not have a porter service, we are deeply Sorry." I definitely wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone. Terrible service!
