Althea Rooms is a 20 minute walk from the train station. Antonio is a great host. He provided us great dinner recommendations and gave us a bottle of wine upon arrival. The AC does not work well. The room was clean but average. The closet had been converted into a shower. Given the chance to return to Florence, we would... More

We stayed here only for 1 night. The location is excellent, it is the best part of the city and still a short walk to the historic center. The pension is in a typical palazzo building, which can make space arrangement a little bit tight, yet our room was spacious enough. Bathroom was ok, shower though was separate in a... More

Antonio was very helpful and made a superb dinner recommendation ... something Luna I think... anyway the room was adorable, the private bath small but clean. Loved the computer and free internet access in the room. The only complaint - I was expecting a B&B and it was only a bed, no breakfast....no coffee (eek)...still a good value and finding... More

This place is so much better than other hotels/B&B's I've experienced in Italy and Florence in particular. It's located on the other side of the Arno, about two blocks from Santo Spirito, and a 10-15 min walk to Pza Signoria. We had a car to park, and we were able to do so about 2 blocks away for 18 EUR/day.... More

This is a great little hotel/pensione. Antonio, the owner, was very responsive and helpful during our entire 5-day stay. We arrived early in the morning, and he moved us into an empty room that was more expensive than the one we had reserved, yet he didn't charge us the extra rate. He mapped out all the places to see and... More

It was a great stay at the althea rooms. Very clean and well organized room. A PC with free internet access was a surprise! The best part of the stay was Antonio ( the person who manages the rooms). He was extremely helpfull and gave us lot of tips , which helped us a lot.

After much research for our Florence vacation, and having been there once before, with budget a concern, we decided on Althea Rooms for our 4 night stay on November 24 -28. Took taxi from train station, 9 euro and 5 minute drive. We liked staying on the other side of the river Arno. Location was quiet, 5 minute walk to... More

The rooms are really cosy and it feels just like visiting a friend! Nice nad clean, and with own bathroom, pc, fridge and A/C. The host is very nice, and very helpfull! He has pre-coded the most important telephone numbers in the phone for reservations at restaurants etc. Thank you very much for a good night and for helping with... More

We stayed at Althea Rooms for 3 nights and loved our stay. It's on a quiet side street on the other side of the river from the Duomo so we really felt like part of the neighborhood. Our hotel was only a few blocks from the Pitti Palace and then another block or 2 to get across the river. Florence... More
