Very cool hotel with a lot of vintage charm. Loved the outdoor hallway leading to the rooms - would have been a great spot to sit during the summer months! Also, Lucia was a very gracious host, very helpful with Florence recommendations!

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room opens onto a communal terrace which means that it can be noisy.
Very nice room we stayed in, with decent bathroom and shower. Very clean, and comfortable. Excellent location for seeing the sights.
Not easily accessible by car if you're driving, so watch out. The host was very helpful and made our stay and welcome pleasant.
All communication with Ulrike was easy and quick. The room itself was very clean, very cool (decorations reflected the area) and the bed was comfortable. Lucia also provided excellent service and information for things to see and do around Florence. Loved our stay!
We had five nights here and it was a lovely base from which to explore the city. Our host Ulrike was very helpful throughout, accommodating a very late check in and arranging taxis for us. The apartment was lovely, clean and comfortable and has lots of cafe options for breakfast nearby
The Diva Suite was well appointed and the AC was a welcome reprieve after walking all day in the heat! The hosts were both warm, lovely and so helpful and readily available to answer any and all queries.
This property is a very charming historical property. We really appreciated the decor and that it did not look like a run-of-the-mill hotel. Ulrike and her team were extremely helpful, communicative, and provided the absolute best service! The site gave great suggestions for dining, attractions, shopping, and tours that we utilized for our short stay. The location was a short walk, less than 5 minutes to dining and shopping. This was a really pleasant experience.
We had an excellent stay in the Teatro suite, a huge apartment all to ourselves. Location was central and walkable to all major touristic attractions. Our hostess Ulrike was very helpful and responsive to our needs. Would definitely recommend especially for a family needing a larger space.
On the plus side, the location is within walking distance of all the sites you'd want to see in Florence. The bed is comfortable to sleep in when the mosquitos aren't buzzing in your ears. Ulrike presents as a pleasant, helpful landlady but she is really just managing a dubious product.
If we were students, we might have been OK with the lodging. But we are a older and hope for a pleasanter resting place. After climbing up two flights of stairs we were shown into a room that wasn't what we expected. We thought we were getting a bright, airy room but this one was dark and dank and didn't appear to have been upgraded or refreshed in years.
A couple days before getting to Florence we got a message from Ulrike asking if we wanted a double bed as opposed to the two singles we had booked; we said sure. But she switched us to a different room altogether. When we brought our concern to her attention she just repeated that we got what we asked for.
In the room the lighting was poor - no overhead lights and just one small plastic bedside lamp, set on top of a small ottoman and two books stacked to raise it almost level with the top of the mattress. Not conducive to nighttime reading.
We were told we'd have the "garden view" but that turned out to be of the next door neighbor's garden down below and to the left. The unit's amenities included small packets of nescafe and an electric hot water pot plus two mismatched wine glasses. It is a bare bones operation.
The host allowed us to check in late since we had late night connecting flight from Germany. The place is well-kept and quite spacious for 4 people. It has certain old world charms, such as floor-top terrace and upper-wall windows that we do enjoy.
The nearby restaurants are quite good, but less crowded vs. near the Campo di Fiori. A good dinner for 4 people costs around 80-90 euros. There are also a few Asian restaurants nearby if you are tired of paste and steaks.
The place is a little bit on the northern edge of the main attractions, but the walk is manageable. We would recommend the place to our friends if they visit Florence.
Property was very comfortable and Ulreka the owner was awesome to communicate with and very helpful. She was always available and gave us some great insight to the sights and shopping. She even was able to assist us getting some assistance at a local pharmacy. Had a great stay in Florence with this room as our get away for rest.
A really lovely stay, and a lovely greeting as we arrived. Our room/suite was huge which was such a lovely suprise.
We were close to the train station but also so close to everything it was great, and ulrike was purely lovely and talked us through a map of where to go what to see and where to eat, which really helped us.
We woukd stay again in a heartbeat.
