Wonderful location with beautiful yard, complete with a “living gazebo” under an expansive tree! We were lucky to have secured the only garage space because the neighborhood is quite crowded with small cars, motorcycles and motor scooters. Very clean premises and responsive staff including a very engaging woman who gave us an incredible introduction to the property and neighborhood resources as we checked in.

We called their attention to just a couple of minor maintenance uses of which they likely were not aware (toilet unbolted to floor). They were appreciative and were sure to address promptly - another good sign!

Neighborhood was super quiet. Host was super good and service was excellent. We were on a very long trip and they also provide with an additional charge laundry service which was God sent because we needed to do laundry and we didn’t have much time to spare. I highly recommend this place. Have several really good bars/restaurants near house.

We personally didn’t like maybe the distance from the main attractions but just because we are not use to using public transportation and our bags were heavier because our longer trip. For people looking for a value, clean and excellent service I recommend this place. If you have extra money to spend then maybe you could stay closer and avoid using public transportation if that’s not your thing. But we are in Europe and that’s normal.

Cristina & Rosie were wonderful hosts from fresh water and flowers, a peaceful garden to relax in and drink wine, excellent showers ( always useful when doing daily tourist walks etc) and it was lovely to live in this beautiful home for a wonderful week in Florence. PS Badiani is a top class coffee, gelato & pastry shop just around the corner.

Rosie and Christina made us feel very welcome and Rosie kept everything spotless, including our room. The garden was wonderful - a place to relax and eat a meal after the heat of the day, and being able to prepare breakfast in the communal kitchen was also practical. We were very sad to leave after a week in this lovely casa.

Nothing

We loved the old style of the property and wonderful garden, it’s a very authentic place. The house itself is beautiful, completely renovated, air conditioned. The house is decorated with nice old furniture and has its own charm. The housekeepers were very friendly und helpful. We could also use the garage, but it’s only for one car, the good thing is if you have bicycles- you can leave them there, if you definitely need a garage then it will be better to reserve it before your trip (10€ for 24h). Parking outside is possible too, during the day you have to pay in the parking machines on the street.

The breakfast was very Italian - just some sweet crackers, bakery and coffee/tee. But it was ok for 5€. Maybe it would be better to have a little bit more variation and some fresh bakery and non-sweetened yogurt too.

The location is quiet, non touristy area of Florence. It is a 2 minute walk from a very good gelato and bakery place that is open early, and a 5 minute walk from 2 different bus stops. It is very easy to get from center florence back to the hotel.

Very cozy and cute. Room was very clean and Christina was so sweet and helpful with our questions! Close to 2 bus stops and a tram that take you to city center or main train station (Santa Maria Novella).

Smaller place so we were able to hear other people staying there when they were going in and out of their rooms.

Very nice old-fashioned interior. All are clean and prepared for our stay. Very good communication with Cristina, the owner.

All recommended restaurants were closed. Generally around the property, there weren't open restaurants. Only one for the breakfast. But it isn't a problem the property.

It’s very quaint and gives you an idea of what a traditional house in Florence looks like

Because it’s so tradicional everything is very old, the bathroom and room are a little tight for 2 adults, and there’s a decent amount of noise from the street

The staff was very friendly and we really appreciate the flexibility, because we were running late due to unexpected circumstances. There were plenty ways to get to the city center including three nearby bus stops (though we also took a walk), and we also loved the cafe nearby that the staff recommended. Overall a very pleasant experience.
