5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2012

We stayed for two nights from the 15th to 17th April 2012 and I can't speak more highly of the hotel. It is in a great location, we had a spacious and very clean room which was full of character, and the hotel staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. I would recommend it to anyone.

Very convenient (on the south bank of the Arno, west of the Carraia bridge, a 10-15 minute walk to the central tourist area). Clean, quiet room. Modernized bathroom with plenty of hot water. Internet access. Nice breakfast. Helpful staff. Don't be put off by the inconspicuous door - the hotel is upstairs. Press the button and say your name and... More

The hotel is really nice and the rooms are clean. The view is superb and the location is perfect for visiting Florence. The owner is very friendly and kind and the breakfast is good.

We booked without knowing what to expect, we got lucky the extremely friendly owner Marco acted more like a friend than the relais manager/owner, the building is nice the room nice and on the top the rate was excellent we recommend the "inn" for a pleasent stay

Travelling with a female companion, we rented a room each for 6 nights, but only stayed for 2. A complaint was made in a pleasant manner as to the cleanliness of my friends room but the man who we took to be the proprietor, over reacted in quite an extreme way. Although my friend had accepted the room quite happily... More

A friend and I were in Florence for a week for language school, so we speak reasonable Italian. We booked 2 single rooms in this hotel on the strength of the photos and reviews in laterooms.com and were pleased with the rate. However, the photos are NOT accurate: There is no entrance area off the street - you have to... More

This hotel is more like an upscale inn. The owner Marco is extremely helpful and clearly cares a ton about the reputation of his business. He was very accommodating, helped us find our way around town, and even worked to resolve a complicated issue with our credit card company. The building is very safe as the attendant on duty has...

A delightful little hotel, very clean and friendly and beautifully understated. Rooms are spacious and the owners are really helpful. It's close to all the major sites but just far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle on a riverfront boulevard on the south side of the city. I'd hearlily recommend the Antico Rustico restaurant just round the... More

Overview: This is a great little hotel. It is a 15 minute walk from the SMN train station (1.3km). The city seemed quite safe even in the dark, and the hotel is right on the river and has a well lit parking area in front. This was a great hotel for the money, and the staff was very friendly and...
