Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at this B&B with a balcony. The rooms were huge with windows overlooking the street adorned with antique lace, providing a charming atmosphere. The service, thanks to Robert, Paola, and La Residenza del Proconsolo, was exceptional and very helpful in assisting us with any requests. The location is unbeatable, right next to the Santa Maria dei Fiori church and offering a spectacular view of the Duomo from the balcony. The dining experience was delightful, with breakfast being delivered to our room at the requested time. Overall, a great value for money experience.
I simply loved my stay at this hotel! The room was very charming and definitely worth it. The initial traffic noise was no big deal once I used the earplugs provided. The bathroom was spacious and comfortable, just perfect. The service was lovely, and they would do anything to help regardless of the time. The location was a bomb, being right next to the Piazza del Duomo and perfect for exploring Firenze quickly. The dining was a unique experience with a cart of pre-selected food rolled in each morning, though the variety could be improved. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.

The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed, even though the view from the balcony was limited.

This B&B was perfect for my stay. The location was incredible with everything I wanted to see on the doorstep, offering a direct view of the Duomo from the balcony. The rooms were next to the kitchen prep area, which made them quite dark at night, but overall, I had a wonderful experience.
