Absolutely loved our stay at Residenza de Madiba in Florence! The beds were super comfy, perfect after a day of exploring the city, the location is absolutely perfect with a host of restaurants, cafes, bars and supermarkets in your doorstep. The decor is stunning and has such a unique, stylish vibe, honestly, it’s even better than it looks online. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience feel extra special. We also really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the free drinks in the mini fridge and great coffee. It felt like a true home away from home. Highly recommend staying here, you won’t be disappointed!

대성당 돔이 보일 정도로 피렌체 중심가에 있습니다. 룸 컨디션은 욕실이 조금 작지만 시설이 양호하며, 친절한 사장님께서 직접 만들어 주시는 따뜻한 아침 조식 서비스가 매우 인상적입니다. 상시 공용 공간에는 커피 및 간식이 준비 되어 있어서 아침 마다 대성당 돔을 보면서 커피를 마셔서 너무 행복했습니다 ~
