Locanda Dei Guelfi

We had a wonderful stay at Locanda dei Guelfi this week. Clean, spacious, characterful room with en suite in a beautiful old building, just a few minutes’ walk from the main sights and easy to get to. We received a very warm welcome and the staff could not have been more helpful. Lovely continental breakfast with a view of the Duomo over the rooftops. Would definitely recommend and will return when we next visit Florence.

The perfect B&B for a quick visit to Florence. The rooms, reception & breakfast room were all very clean and comfortable with good beds & bedding which made for a good nights sleep. There was decent air conditioning throughout the B&B, including the bedroom, & a good power shower that holds its temperature and pressure. The roof terrace is up a tight winding stair case but it’s 100% worth it for the views across the city. It’s peaceful & away from the hustle and bustle of the centre but not too far that you feel out of the way. Its location is perfect, being 10 minutes walk from the tram stops & train station and 10 minutes walk from the Duomo and other popular attractions. The staff (maybe owners?) were friendly and helpful which topped the experience off. We’d highly recommend providing you’re relatively fit to hike the 70 steps at the start.

The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is ok. Very weak insulation and simple glazing allowing to hear the passages in the street and the annex room. the bedding is not top. The only existing view is on the balcony located on the roof which is beautiful. The welcome is warm and the breakfast is very good.
