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.

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.
