Great B&B in a beautiful area of Florence, close to downtown and at a walkable distance from a Mall and the University. Lara and Lorenzo go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Lara even prepared us takeout breakfast when we had to leave before breakfast time! It was my first time staying at a B&B and I was not disappointed. Thanks guys for your hospitality!

A convenient place to stay!
Lara, the owner greeted us on our arrival with a big smile that radiated warmth. The breakfast was a continental style with a ham and cheese panini. We enjoyed her company and that she was always there to answer questions and make suggestions. We stayed 12 great days.

My stay at Il Grillo was superb all around. The host, Lara, made checking in very quick and easy, reaching out prior to my arrival so that she would be available to meet me. She was extremely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating to my every need. I very much hope to have more hosts like her in the future as her demeanor alone made the stay worthwhile. Aside from that, the rooms were also very nice and as clean as can be. All of the amenities, i.e. the air conditioner, TV, and shower were quite modern and the breakfast was exemplary. The metro was only a brief 2 minute walk away and led directly to the city center in under 10 minutes, making the lack of restaurants and tourist attractions in the immediate surrounding area irrelevant. That being said, the neighborhood in which this property is located still had plenty of little stores and markets for a variety of needs. Overall, I can not recommend Il Grillo enough, it left absolutely nothing more to be desired for the price and I very much look forward to staying again on my next visit to Florence.

The host was extremely helpful. They accommodated my dietary needs for breakfast. It is very easy to get to by local train from the airport and also just a quit train ride to the historic areas of Florence. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay.

Warm welcome!
We were warmly greeted and were told about how to navigate around Florence as well as a restaurant around the corner. We picked this for its proximity to the airport. Taxi fare to and from about 21 EUs.
