I liked that I had a key to the front door, so I could come and go whenever I pleased. I had access to the kitchen so I could make myself tea or have a tiny snack at 8pm. I have never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before so it was lovely to wake up to a breakfast spread and have my coffee made for me. As a solo traveler, I was able to walk everywhere from this location. I even walked to and from Piazzale Michelangelo to watch the sunset. Overall, the property was wonderful and so were the owners/hosts. Great location and great service.

The B&B is quaint and charming, with a beautiful garden. It's around 17-20 minutes walk to/from Ponte Vecchio, alongside the Arno River, a peaceful stroll which I enjoyed. I arrived after their reception hours (until 4pm) and they gave great instructions how to check in and find the room. The bed was comfortable. Joan, who was the staff when I visited, was extremely kind and helped me learn more about the city. I got free bottles of water plus snacks. I really enjoyed my time here.

The solo room had a sloping ceiling that meant you could only effectively stand around half of the time. The room was in the 2nd floor (3rd floor if you count the ground floor as the 1st floor) and the stairs heading up to it was a steep spiral staircase, so it became quite hard to bring a suitcase up. The B&B in general is very beautiful, but this solo room was pretty barren—although it did have a mini fridge. It didn't really detract from my enjoyment of the stay, but you should be mindful of these if you're booking the 2nd floor solo room.

Great apartment in a good location for walking to everything. It has all you need, good breakfast and private parking. Joan our host was amazing. We will definitely return next time we stop in Florence. The room was exceptionally clean .

Enjoyed my stay at La Fonderia very much. It's in a quiet area of Florence but not too far from any sights, especially as buses are so easy now that you can use contactless credit cards. The room was comfortable and tastefully decorated with a high corniced ceiling and a balcony. I particularly liked the brass bathroom fittings. The host Joan was lovely, cheerful and helpful in equal measure. One of the highlights of my stay was a quiet cup of tea in the delightful garden which was filled with the scent of wisteria.

It's a quiet little oasis outside of the main tourist area but still easy walking distance to all the main attractions and train station. Clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. There are lots of little unexpected extras to make the stay comfortable. The common areas and outdoor garden gave it a lovely relaxing vibe. It was great value for money. I would highly recommend and stay there again if I ever get the chance to return to Florence. The hostess was lovely.

Nothing really. I did bump my head on the low roof of my room which was upstairs in a loft do one side was low....but that was my own fault. The room only had a skylight rather than a window as such. But it was comfortable clean and fine for a short stay. I was out and about all day so only really needed the room to sleep.

This is a wonderful b&b that is located in a quiet position on the other side of the river but within easy walking distance of all main Florence attractions. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Good variety of food offered at breakfast. Room was comfortable. Luggage storage was provided for my final day. Highly recommended.

The room is at the top of a spiral staircase - take care with your luggage. Also, the room has a lower ceiling on one side. None of this bothered me or affected my stay.

Excellent location a mere 5 minutes away from downtown Florence - just across the river from the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore)! Very luxury driven facility, yet very affordable - the hosts were also very accommodating and helpful. The "en-suite" bathroom, and the amenities provided in the space, were also a very welcome surprise - which I thorougly enjoyed. I would strongly recommend this accommodation facility to solo travellers.

When someone books the single economy room perhaps just advise (or warn) them about the spiral staircase they and their luggage will have to go up and down with during their stay at the facility. It was incredibly difficult to lug a large suitcase up to the first floor (and then down again) with no assistance. Nearly took me 20 minutes as it was a very small and narrow staircase.

We loved everything about the property - the design, comfortable bed, good breakfast, friendly personal. A special thanks to the hotel manager Alessandro - he helped us with useful advices as we had force majeure circumstances with Lufthansa and he was always here for us. This was priceless! The atmosphere in the hotel is very calming and friendly.

Nothing.

This is a quiet location across the river, but with neighbourhood shops and many places to eat with the locals. Walking along the street one would not guess that there is a garden in the back where you can have breakfast with the birds. Very relaxing but also close to sights on that side of the river. The multilingual., upbeat staff were helpful in all aspects and made you feel at home. It is only a 15 min. walk to the rail station and the airport tram. On a return I would look here first to avoid the crowds.

Lovely little B&B tucked away from the busy streets of Florence, approx 15-20min easy walk to the centre. We stayed in the room which had a double bed downstairs and bathroom and our friends were on the x2 single beds upstairs also with an additional toilet. The room opened out onto the garden. It was very spacious, had all the facilities we needed. If we wanted tea/coffee/snacks, we could just nip into the kitchen and grab it- it felt very homely! Beds all really comfy, love the toiletries and slippers. It’s the little things! Excellent communication from the host, although we didn’t meet them in person- the lady who looked after us at breakfast was very friendly and approachable if we had an questions. Breakfast also plentiful and varied. Overall, very nice little find and we would definitely recommend it!
