The 6 room property has been renovated beautifully and offers a standard of comfort way above its rating. I had a single room, but even this was quite spacious by Italian standards, with a king single bed, a good sized wardrobe with a mini safe, a desk and a flat screen TV. The bathroom was small but had modern fittings and was spotlessly clean and included a reasonable range of toiletries. The air-conditioning worked perfectly.
My only slight gripe would be that the bed was a little springy though that didn't stop me getting a good night's sleep.
Breakfast was included and was taken in the charming breakfast room. The continental breakfast selection was excellent - juice, fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, bread, cold meats, cheese. There was a machine which made excellent coffee. One other thing I liked was that you could help yourself to tea and coffee at any time during the day.
The WiFi internet was free and the service was good and reliable.
The B&B is a 5 minute walk from Santa Maria Novella train station and also within walking distance of the centre of Florence where all the attractions are. There are also many restaurants within walking distance of the B&B.
I felt very comfortable here and Matteo does a great job in running the B&B. It's a shame that the stairwell is a little dark and dingy and that the lift small, but otherwise this is a 2 star property that offers a 5 star service.
