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.

Great location close to train station. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Location is busy and loud traffic. Central AC/Heating connected to all units. So if someone is using heating in another unit, you can’t use the AC. Overall, good accomodation if you’re staying in Florence for a day/night.

Geneva

Liked: Staff & service
The room itself is nice. Shower is quite tight! Air Conditioning worked great and automatic shutters to keep the room dark were awesome. We thought the close proximity to the train station and main streets would be the reason for noise, however, whoever or whatever is above the accommodation is incredibly loud all hours of the day and night. This made it difficult to sleep. Otherwise, it’s a decent place to stay for a quick trip in Florence.
