We stayed in the tower room which I would recommend. A stone building decorated comfortably in period style, it was the most charming bedroom we had on our 6 week Italian holiday. The adjoining bathroom is in a more modern style. The whole property oozed charm, even the front gates. It was lovely to hear the running water outside our bedroom. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. We dined out in the garden with fellow guests. Our host spoke several languages and was very helpful with directions to the B&B, which is near the final stop of an easy and cheap! bus trip from Florence. If you have the chance and if weather permits, have dinner at the nearby outdoor Social Club.

My own fault-I should have anticipated some mosquitoes with all that water around. Repellant was available if required.

We stayed in the charming tower room. We had a view of the gushing river as it had been raining a lot. The room was very private. The bathroom was big and outside the room down 3 spiral stairs, but it wasn't a shared bathroom. Parking was outside the properties gate but secure. We enjoyed our stay.

The stairs going up to our room were steep spiral stairs. So probably not good for people that have trouble with stairs and large suitcases.

This B&B is enchanting, the room we had was beautiful. It was clean & towels were provided. We had a great view of the river & could hear the water rushing by. There are sockets by the bed. There were enough clothes hangers & hooks for clothes & coats. Bathroom was large enough & shower had good water pressure. Breakfast consisted of sweet pastries, bread & various jams, cereal, eggs, meats & cheese etc. There is a bus stop about 6 mins walk from the B&B that takes you to the centre of Florence in 30 mins. It's a little out of the way, but the experience of this B&B is worth it. Claudio was responsive over text & welcoming in-person. We enjoyed our time there & wish we could've stayed for longer.

Wifi was patchy & reception wasn't much better. It made planning our day a little difficult.

The B&B is a stunning building right on the river, the room we stayed in was comfortable and quiet, the bathroom had a nice shower. It was wonderful to come back to after a day of sightseeing. Claudio is friendly and helpful and the breakfast each morning was great with lots of choice. There is a bus stop at the top of the road making getting around easy.

Nothing, everything was perfect

Amazing breakfast and great location out of town but near bus stop. Host has lots of great info on local attractions

Some confusion with time of check in. Fortunate to make it but emails didn't come through booking to let me know of information which was a shame.

Claudio was a wonderful host! He invited us to a festival in town and was very accommodating. The B&B is very stunning, we loved the very special room in the tower that we stayed in. We could use the bikes to ride to the city. Also the breakfast was very delicious and had a great variety. Would definitely recommend staying there!

This is amazing place! You are really need to come here. The host is best one we met in our long jorney. The room is like from fairytale and very romantic, but with all modern facilities: for ex. airconditioning. To spend sometime with your partner there is the best idea. The bathroom is very clean and you will find all, that you need. The breakfast is amazing and every time is different. To go to Flirence will take 15 minutes with bus. To go to bus 3 min. It is really the best place to stay in Florence!:)

Very unique and quite special. Great breakfast. A kind host. Easy access to Florence by car or bus.

First off, the location is wonderful. Situated at the end of a one-way street, La Martellina has a kind of quiet oasis vibe. It's right next to the river, which is lovely (although that means it naturally comes with mosquitoes). And in that garden you'll find Daisy, the dog of the house, who we also loved. Our room was clean, and uniquely set in the tower of the house with a magnificent large window overviewing the river Arno. We really enjoyed the breakfast! There was too much to even begin to try everything, and there were different homemade pies and quiches, all wonderful. It was served by Olivia, who was very friendly, and a perfect host. The pool in the garden was not the largest, but perfect to cool down during a hot day. Another feature we enjoyed was the bikes that are available there. That way, we could cycle to the centre of Florence (8km, 30 minutes), which we much preferred to taking the bus. Taking your car into Florence is a virtual impossibility, so don't try that.

We really enjoyed our stay, but felt there were a few shortcomings, most of them easily fixable. The bath room was private, but didn't have an outside window, and felt pretty hot/damp. Also, the water in the pool was a bit mirky, so perhaps refresh that? The bikes were very handy, but most of them really could do with some maintenance.

It was unique, full of character, inviting and there was the beautiful sound of birds and water in the morning to accompany the pink sky at sunrise. Breakfast was amazing, presented like artwork.
