The best part about the B&B was Joan! She was very pleasant and available. My room had 2 long doors with windows with a nice view of the outdoors, however there are mosquitos. The room & bathroom were small (normal for Europe) but nice. Location close to the Arno was a plus.

Very friendly hosts, breakfast was delicious! We loved looking out at the garden and we had a little terrace off our room, but it was just so hot when we were there we didn’t really get to enjoy it. We found the air conditioning in our room had a hard time keeping up, so they gave us a fan and that helped a lot. Bed was comfortable and there were always snacks in the main area. An important note, there are a lot of stairs, so if you need a handicapped accessible property this is not it, but it was very charming.

This is a great place to stay to explore Florence. Clean, quiet, and just a 15 minute walk from the centre. Special mention to Joan who put on a great breakfast every morning to set you up for the day. Highly recommend.
