8.4Verified guest“The accommodation was just right and quite clean, with pleasant rooms. I even appreciated that the Wi-Fi didn't reach my room.”
8.4Verified guest“The property is clean, with clean and fairly quiet rooms and a comfortable bed. The location is good—a short walk to the tram and Rifredi train station, which is 5 minutes from Florence by train and Santa Maria Novella.”
8.4Verified guest“Spacious room with a cozy bed and pillows, equipped with central heating, an LCD TV, and a refrigerator.”
8.4Verified guest“The lady who owns the place is really helpful and friendly. If you email before your flight, her husband will meet you at Florence airport and take you straight to the hotel.”
8.4Verified guest“This is a small family-run hotel where everyone genuinely cares about your stay. Owner Violeta speaks five languages and is very energetic despite her long hours and years in the industry. She's available from about 7 am to 11 pm to go out of her way for you. The hotel is one train stop from SMN—about 10 minutes and around 1 Euro each way, with trains every 20 minutes. We booked last-minute and got a spacious room with a ceiling fan, private bathroom, and a lovely balcony. Prices were very affordable, and there's a supermarket and delicious pizza place nearby. We'll be back next time we're in Florence!”
8.4Verified guest“The room was enjoyable, and the breakfast was simple but satisfying.”
