The room we rented had a spectacular view of the cathedral's dome. Most of the rest of the cathedral was obscured by other buildings around the courtyard, but the view of the dome was fantastic. For prospective travelers: This hotel has very little advertisement on the outside of the building. We almost missed the entrance entirely. There is a door that opens up onto the street, and you need to press a button to have a staff let you in. As a warning to those who are traveling with heavy or large luggage: you will need to climb 82 steps (yes, we counted them!) to get to the room. We had a 50-lb suitcase with us that, aside from trekking across the cobblestones and uneven pavement from the train station, I ended up hauling all the way up to the room and down again after our stay. We also had a stroller and other suitcases. So, all things considered, I may not have chosen this particular property if I had known about the stairs. The room itself was very spacious. The bathroom was cold, and there was no real way to make it warmer. But the room had a heater, and this kept us pretty warm during our stay. During the night, we could hear some of the commotion in the courtyard. Some family was having a party. Another was having an argument. But overall it was mostly quiet. I highly recommend this place for travelers who do not have large or heavy suitcases.

Ideally located if you want to climb up the Florence Dome in the early morning. It is only two minutes away from the entrance gate. The staff was very kind and helpful. I heartily recommend you this guest house. Just keep in mind that they do not have an elevator (a lift). So you need to go up the stairs before getting to the front desk.

Simply perfect. Absolutely amazing location. You are in the center of everything, but when you are in your room it does not feel that way. Amazing people running the place. We had a wonderful stay. We also got lucky with the Duomo view from our balcony. The church bell will wake you up bright and early at 7:00—no need for an alarm!

The location is amazing! Highly renovated property with excellent working AC and bathroom. Its location is literally three 5 steps away from the Cathedral, 10 minutes to the Academy where the David is situated; 10 minutes from main town center, etc. one thing to be aware of for persons with limited mobility is that it’s located on the third floor and there are no elevators. Absent this issue, it is a place we will be staying at again when we return to Florence.

It was ok

Great location right in the middle of everything you want to see and 20 mins walk from train station. Helpful friendly staff. But the room was just ok. The bathroom seemed fairly recently renovated so that was nice, but in all the accommodation looked really run down and would benefit from new furniture and paint. We weren’t comfortable. There are a LOT of stairs, which was fine for us but anyone who is mobility impaired or packs more suitcase than you can carry would struggle here.
