8Verified guest“The rooftop terrace gave us amazing views over Florence — perfect for an evening glass of wine.”
8Verified guest“Rooms are small but absolutely fine, with two single beds and an external bathroom.”
8Verified guest“It's really a set of rooms on the second floor (no lift) of a residential block, with no staff in the evening or at night. Very basic but excellent value given the superb location. Breakfast at the nearby cafe is just one coffee and one croissant — don't ask for another cappuccino, it cost me €4.50! The rooftop terrace has great views and is rare for Florence. Order a takeaway pizza and you have your own private restaurant.”
8Verified guest“Extremely close to the train station and city centre, and very good value.”
8Verified guest“The rooftop terrace has fine views of Florence, ideal for wine at sunset.”
8Verified guest“Location right next to all the sights and the train station.”
