Friendly oasis of calm, impeccable hosts

Location
An oasis of calm only three minutes’ walk from the Piazza del Duomo (and ten minutes’ walk or so from the station, Firenze Santa Maria Novella), providing a perfect retreat from the busy excitements of the city.
For hosts, you could not ask for better in Rosanna, Michele and Sabine. Their attentiveness and helpfulness were more than you could hope for and they recommended some great eateries (Il Cantastorie is somewhere we visited twice, completely won over by the charming service, beautifully clean interior, wonderful food and romantic presentation).
Gastronomy
Breakfast was a selection of meats, cheeses, fruit, yoghurts and cereals – and everything you read about the amazing coffee is true! (For those who prefer tea, they have a wide selection available.)
Sport & Entertainment not available
Room
The room was quiet, a good size, very clean, and with a spacious and modern bathroom. The reading area was right next to our room and was a perfect afternoon sun trap. The wi-fi (on which we used Blackberries) worked without a hitch.
