From booking until departure the host was extremely helpful and friendly. A detailed invoice of payment and an accurate description of how to get there is sent out after booking. Upon arrival Francesco provided us with maps, things to do and recommendations of where to eat. The accommodation is independent meaning someone is not there all the time but they... More

Il Ghiro is a budget accommodation but does provide all one needs. We asked for a twin room as i was travelling with a friend. The kitchen area is a bonus but it would be great if there was a table to sit at. There are bar stools and a small bench around the edges if the room that work... More

My husband and I really loved Il Ghiro. The descriptions we read online were spot on. This is a clean and friendly place to stay in a great location in the center of Florence. Il Ghiro provided us with great directions to get to the B&B from the Santa Maria Novella train station. It was a short walk (about 5... More

We arrived around 20:00, but had to be sent numerous emails to how to find out how to enter our room. The owner was very nice, but only there from 9:00 - 18:00. Our last night was horrid because others were loud until 1:45. The heat had no control, burning us up. The Wi-Fi didn't always reach our room.

I stayed here for two nights with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed it. the location is great, a short walk from the train station on a quiet street. it is only a 5 minute walk to the central market as well, which should be your first stop once you check in to stock up on delicious local foods. we...

We stayed here for two nights in October. The service was fantastic. They were very helpful with all of our questions and even let us print out some tour vouchers that we needed. The bed was super comfortable, though the pillows were extremely hard. The location was perfect. It is centrally located to the main tourist attractions.
