“This family-run B&B, tucked away in a quiet residential corner of Florence, feels like discovering a local secret; plus, that Italian buffet breakfast on the terrace, with views over the city, is a genuinely great way to start the day. Its proximity to public transport makes it easy to get into the city center, but the real advantage is the personalized service, which elevates the stay. A solid choice if you want to feel like a Florentine.”
