    Easy walk from SMN station. Very good welcome and advice on where to go and what to see. Tickets offered to go to a nearby 'cafe' to have breakfast. Had resevations on as first time we have experienced such a method. However, when we went to the cafe the breakfast provided and hospitality of staff was excellent. The suite is in a pefect location to visit many of Florence's treasures and churches etc. We had the Golden Suite that was just like the photos and more. The jacuzzi room with some limited 'keep fit' equipment was very relaxing. Don't be put off by the musty smell, as the brick room does absorb the jacuzzi vapour and can't be smelt upstairs in the main room. We would certaintly want go there again as there is so much to see. Beware of the mad drivers of cars, motor bikes and bicycles. If you have daughters in their late teens plus don't let the near Mui Mui (higher grade than Prada) unless you have the money!!

    For someone who does not want hotel-type amenities, this is a perfect place to stay in Florence. It was on a busy street, but very quiet. The location is convenient to all the sights in Florence.

    We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in April 2006. The Mirrors Suite was very nice. Some of the others (we peeked in when they were empty) looked even nicer. The common semi-outdoor (covered by skylight-type overhang) patio was a very nice place to enjoy a lunch fresh from the central market. The location was very good. We found Florence to be very walkable. The breakfast comes with an option of pastries in the room or a credit at the local coffee shop. We chose the latter, and it was very good.

    It was pleasant to stay in this little B&B. Furnished with antiques and appears to be special. Could be too quite at night to even talk with your companion. Suite will be next to try.

    The Grand Tour is a truly amazing experience. I was in the Golden Suite for just one night...it's beautiful! And there's also a real little kitchen, where you can cook by yourself and have a romantic dinner with your girlfriend (and you can save money, too!). Cristina, the owner, is such a kind person... Actually we arrived on saturday and had to check out the day after, on Sunday...but, since there were no clients on schedule for the next day, Cristina told us we could use the suite the whole day long...and so we did: we checked out on sunday at 8 Pm! The Jacuzzi is wonderful. Also, I've checked the double rooms upstairs. Quite nice. If you're going for a double, I suggest the violet one: it is bright, with a lovely view over roofs and little gardens. For the price you pay this B&B, I bet you won't find anything better in Florence.
