“The rooftop terrace gave us amazing views over Florence — perfect for an evening glass of wine.”

“Rooms are small but absolutely fine, with two single beds and an external bathroom.”

“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.”
