Good stay. Kind staff. Breakfast is across the street and includes a specialty coffee, oj or pineapple juice, and then a croissant (pistachio, Nutella, or crème) and either an omelette or mini sandwich. Solid breakfast! AC could’ve been colder. Says it was 16 Celsius but it definitely felt closer to 24 Celsius (75 Fahrenheit).

My husband and I stayed at La Residenza dell’Orafo in Florence for 3 days and had a very nice stay overall. The location was excellent, it’s within walking distance to the train station and very close to many of the main tourist attractions, which made getting around the city very easy. Our room also had a small terrace, which was a lovely bonus and a nice place to relax after a day of sightseeing. The shower was a bit small, and there was some noise at night, but nothing too disruptive. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient place to stay while visiting Florence.
