What a perfect getaway in Florence, Cristina and Marco welcomed us with open arms and gave us a complete run down of the must do and see in Florence. A wealth of information that we used as our itinerary throughout our stay. Our room was spacious and so beautifully appointed in keeping with the age, showing incredible artwork on the ceiling and walls. The dining area that was used for the breakfasts was incredible, Rooms were cleaned daily and replenished amenities . The proximity to both the bus and tramline is Bus about 8 mins, tram no more than 10 mins. We were also provided with a transport ticket that was such a great idea to make it possible to start our adventure straight away, which we did, The area was quiet and we felt very safe. Eating places close by, from Home Made Italian cuisine, to Chinese and Pizza. Would highly recommend Dimora Bandinelli as a perfect place to stay whilst in Florence

"The weather was not very friendly, but there were umbrellas there for your use if needed. There are stairs leading up to the entry of the residence, not suitcase friendly for us, but necessary, and thankfully Marco came to our assistance.

The stay at Dimora was really great. They were flexible till the evening for check-ins. The moment we entered Marco sat us down and pulled out a map with recommendations of things to see and places to eat while giving us historical tid bits about the major city attractions. It was very informative and it was great chatting with him. In the mornings it was great to have a conversation with him during breakfast. And also have homemade cakes made by his wife, Sofia ('The Boss' as he fondly called her) that were simply divine. It never felt intrusive. They gave us space after giving us the information but were there if we needed to ask them anything. A really memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Nothing as such.

This hotel surprised us with its atmosphere. We felt like we were transferred to the Middle Ages. It’s so old-aged and at the same time quite modern. The room was very comfortable and pleasant to live. Nice bathroom. The hosts were both very responsive and helpful. It was great to have opportunity to buy parking ticket from them. The hotel is located in a beautiful place, close to the river Arno. And in a walk’s distance from the old city centre. The breakfast was very tasty and nutritious. We definitely would like to stay here for longer. My recommendations for this nice hotel.

There were no notable minuses.

Our first visit to Florence from Nashville TN! Marco and Christina were amazing hosts! At arrival Marco met us at the door to help carry our luggage. He sat us down with a map and many recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to enjoy. Our room was beautiful! The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioner was a welcome relief in hot July! Breakfast was great in a beautiful room with frescos in the wall and ceiling. We did visit the top floor terrace and wow! You can see the Dumo and the city. It was beautiful. We will definitely stay here again if we can return to Florence. We loved that it was away from the crowds but walking distance to town.

Breakfast was varied…plenty of choice, both savoury and sweet. Everything you needed. The bedroom was spacious , simple and stylish. Beautiful frescoes on ceiling and also in the calm breakfast room. In fact there is much attention to detail everywhere. The location is ideal; one is at a distance from the noise of the centre, but it is lovely to walk the 10-15 minutes along the Arno to reach attractions and Dimora is well served by buses and trams if one wishes. Particularly useful is to take the number 12 bus to San Miniato. But, of course, the best things in Dimora are the attentiveness, kindness and helpfulness of Cristina and Marco. Excellent , charming hosts who are happy to do anything to facilitate your stay, from giving plenty of useful information ranging from transport options, to key tourist points, to restaurants and in terms of reserving tickets and taxis. Grazie! And in the nearby district there are plenty of dining options if you do not wish to return to the centre.

A minor point…but really more a suggestion…..perhaps with the toiletries in the bathroom, , there also could be conditioner and body cream.

The hotel is located in an old building with high ceilings and paintings on the walls and ceiling. Looks very authentic. The owner was very hospitable and gave a lot of good advice. Breakfast was quite good, perhaps not too varied, but we had everything we needed. The room was magnificent: spacious, furnished with antique furniture. From the hotel we usually walked to the city center along the picturesque river bank, it didn't take much time. So the stay at this hotel was truly unforgettable.

In the evening, you may have problems finding a parking space, since the hotel is located in the CPZ area and parking is only possible next to the hotel (specially marked tickets are provided by the owner and cost 8 eur per day).

Marco and Cristina are amazing hosts. They will make you feel welcome loved and at home. It was a treat to stay here.

We had zero problems but please do be aware this beautiful place deserves more respect than your average hostel or hotel, so things like eating in your room on the expensive linen should be run past the owners first. A receipt for the city tax we paid in cash was also helpful in clearing up whether it had been paid. Breakfast was superb! Location excellent. Room beautiful. Thank you! Recommended with love.

The breakfasts were incredible. We enjoyed the cappuccinos, especially. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, also. The location was near enough to many things and we were happy to be able to walk everywhere. We also enjoyed the detailed information about Florence from Marco.

The only thing that we didn't like as much was the busier round about near the property, but we got used to crossing it and it wasn't too big of a deal.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile. The room was beautifully decorated and had a very comfortable bed. The hotel itself was very quiet and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

Nothing

It’s beautiful, well kept and restored house with authentic frescoes through the breakfast dining room, corridor and room . it was decorated with antique wooden furniture, tapestry curtains and crystal chandeliers . Immaculately clean , very warm in winter with very comfortable shower and bathroom.

My wife & I stayed there and there was nothing that we Australian’s didn’t like. in fact we are going to stay in the same hotel for our next visit and highly recommend it for our family and friends.
