Lovely traditional building, conveniently located, breakfast provided by cafe around the corner which also had gluten free options at an extra cost

The beds were nice also. The only reason why I gave it a four instead of a five is or window leaked from the rain and that there are no amenities other than a room with a private bathroom. You’re not going to get a hotel like feel or pools to swim in. I would definitely stay here again.
The location was conveniently close to the railway station, while remaining outside the busiest part of the centre.
The room was clean, albeit infested by mosquitoes.
The separate bathroom was across a lobby, clean, and crammed.
The included breakfast was a voucher for coffee and croissant at a corner bakery.
Leonardo and his mom were great hosts. The room was quite spacious, very good shower. There's a fridge and a kettle, tea bags and sugar were provided. Breakfast was served in the room. We had a nice time there. Location a bit far from touristy points, but convenient.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Clean but old
It was clean, but a bit old building and lots of stairs
Expedia didn’t give details of checking in. Number on Expedia is previous property owner. Headache to checkin but manager responded quickly once she was notified of my arrival.
A charming little guest house. Nice location just outside of the touristy area so you are away from the crowds, but close enough to walk everywhere.
We had one of the rooms with a separate but private bathroom that was just four or five steps from the room, so not a problem.
You do get some traffic noise from the street but to be honest you’d be hard pressed to find a place in the main area of Florence that isn’t on a busy street! If you want peace and solitude you’ll need to stay further out of the city.
My husband and I had a very nice stay at Ridolphi guest house. It’s very clean and the host made a great breakfast every morning. Most sites are in walking distance and there’s also a bus stop right down the street.
This place has very convenient location, roomy for the price, and people work here are nice.
However, I had issue with hygiene.
I don't think bedding ever cleaned while I'm staying. I did some cooking class and had some chocolate power on my pants and sit on bed and left little stain. Next day, the stain looks like wiped wet towel, but can see the stain- and until the end of trip the bedding was never washed.(It looks like they make bed without washing it) Lots of dead mosquitoes are on wall. Found few ants on breakfast tray. Had very bad allergy while staying the guest house.
(1) Just a B&B home style place. I booked it two months before, and the normal rate when I arrived that day is less than 70 Euro/day, almost half of my booked price. (2) Don't arrive late than 8pm, because the owners aren't there all the time, and they live far, far away. And they ask for late-check-in fee. (3) Too noisy if you open the window.
booking was cancelled and I was transferred to an apartment in another part of town, quite stressful as there is no manned reception so we had to wait around outside the block for several hours until some other guests came along
This BnB is conveniently located for walking to most sites in Florence. The bedroom was large and comfortable. The private washroom is down the hall. Breakfast is served in your room. Overall a pleasant stay. Would stay here again.
Excellent service. Even though we came in early (before check-in time), we were given a room immediately. We deeply appreciate the service and help rendered by the front desk.
It is a very nice choice to stay in this hotel. Every famous place can be reached by walk and breakfast is also included. The only thing is bathroom is not cleaned everyday during our stay. But the hotel is good.
Charming little B&B apartment near the train station. Staff Maria and Fabio were very attentive. Our room had high ceilings and lots of sunlight. Our private bathroom was across the hall, so it wasn't too inconvenient.
I was very happy, and it was very good value - but be aware that the owners are not at the guesthouse all of the time. When you check in they will meet you there. This means it is important to give them a precise arrival time if possible.
We got a great welcome by the owner and it stayed as a wonderful stay from that point on.
Great service, location and good breakfast served in the room.
