Great little hotel find near SMN train station

Old bldg near the Santa Maria novella train station. Very walkable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms inside the old bldg were nice and updated. Bathroom was large , shower water pressure was great. The hotel has tea and biscuits and a bottle of wine as well as a refrigerator. I would definitely stay there again anytime I visit Florence.

Luciano and his wife were amazing. They were very kind. The room was very clean and well kept. The location is perfect, less than a 5 minute walk from the train station, and very close to all other sights. I would love to stay there again.

The best hotel I stayed at in Italy and I stayed in 6. Super nice and friendly owner. And was very helpful. Hotel in an old historic building but it had all the things you need. Clean, hot water, great WiFi, good AC and great staff. Very close to train station. I would highly recommend this place.

Excellent stay. Lucio is really nice and helpful. The room is large, quiet and clean. The guest house is 5 min from the tram to the airport, from the train station in a neighbourhood with restaurant and bars.

The perfect spot for a family in Florence

A remarkable 15th century building remodeled with all the amenities. We had the family apartment and there were frescoes on the ceiling! The decor was lovely, it had excellent air conditioning, unlimited water, and even a deck! Able to walk everywhere from here. And the owners are the most helpful and lovely people. Definitely take their advice for meals...you'll save money and have fantastic food. I wish we could have stayed longer.

We initially chose this property because it was close to the train station, but found it was close to everything we wanted to see. It was a classic old building but the room was huge and the bed and bath were great. How you really judge a place is when you run into trouble as I did when I tested positive for cov-id. Luciano went above and beyond to help us find an official testing site, and he helped us make arrangements to go to a cov-id hotel as required. It would have been overwhelming to figure out since we do not speak Italian, but Luciano took great care of us. When we go back to finish our trip (!) we will definitely stay here again.

15th Century Gem!

This lodging is in a 15th Century building once owned by Napoleon Bonaparte’s relatives. Easy walk from the train station- even with luggage. The proprietors are wonderful and worked with us on a later arrival. Their English is excellent- and they provided good tips for exploring the neighborhood and Florence. The room I got sleeps a family of 6. It had painted ceilings from the 19th century… almost like staying in a museum. My bed was super comfortable. And - while unique among others at the hotel - our room came with a balcony. It really was a perfect place to stay with a family of 6. I give it my highest recommendation! One small warning: this accommodation is shared with two others… so as you search for it on the street, go by street number and don’t look for “Riblet” on a placard.
Painted ceiling in our bedroom.
