Dimora Bandinelli

We would certainly recommend this...

Liked: We loved staying here. Cristina is a great host, all her recommendations were top! She took time to give us the locals’ suggestions and I am happy we got to experience more than just the touristic Firenze. The place was very clean (in the real sense of the word from the dictionary, not just okay clean). The location was ok for us as it is just next to the touristy center, a 30 minute walk from the dome. The entire building is historical, the design keeps the character alive.

We had a enjoyed a...

Liked: Beautiful old building with ornate interior painted walls and ceilings. The breakfast was delicious and the hosts were very accommodating.

Superb

Very good

Great host and lovely rooms.

Liked: We had a very spacious room with beautiful antique furniture and facilities. Marco, our host, was very welcoming and spent a lot of time on our arrival explaining the local area, restaurants and public transport, which was easily accessible approximately 250 metres walk away. He also gave us a great map of Florence and put all the relevant information on it. The breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented.
Disliked: The residence (B&B) is on the first floor, up a flight of steps, with no lift. Although this was not an issue for us, it should be taken into consideration for guests with mobility problems.

Recommend very much.

Liked: A short walk from the hustle & bustle of central Florence, this B&B just south of the Arno River is a perfect retreat for that afternoon nap or when you need nighttime silence. Inside the unassuming front doors, you’ll find a quaint yet luxurious domicile with high ceilings, chandeliers, and original frescos dating back ~200 years. The rooms are charming, with decadent furniture, ornate window curtains, and traditional Italian shutters. The wallpaper is necessarily Florentine, flowery and thin, and FYI, so are the walls… but hey, we didn’t mind. Ever wondered what it’s like to have an Italian aunt and uncle? You’ll find out here too. The cute couple will welcome you with helpful suggestions and apologies for talking for your ears off. They even sit down with you and mark out (on a map they supply) everything you could want to see or eat. Every morning, they personally cater the most delightful breakfast too and take your coffee or tea orders with relaxed—yet meticulous—attention to detail. Honestly, it was the meal and conversation we looked forward to most every day. You also have access to a lovely rooftop terrace with a view of the city domes. Almost makes you not want to leave each morning and just spend your time lounging around. Recommend very much.
Disliked: Nothing

Beautiful room

Liked: The room was indeed special, it felt like you are sleeping in a royal palace, beautifully painted. The owner was very kind and offered us a lot of tips about the city.
Disliked: The breakfast because it was very light.

Beautiful stay in a beautiful...

Liked: Great location - close to public transport! The room was beautifully decorated and serviced daily - which was just wonderful to come back to after long days of sightseeing! The breakfast was light but exactly what we wanted and needed inbetween meals of pasta and pizza! The hosts were so very helpful and gave us an amazing insight into Florence and “must-do’s”!!!! Would highly recommended!!!!
Disliked: If I had to think of a negative - the only thing is that because the building is so beautiful in its historic attributes - we could hear the keys in the old doors when others came and went! However our room had full blackout curtains so we could easily sleep in if needed!

Nice apartment with great terrace...

Liked: The apartment has everything you need for a short staying. It is 20 minutes walking distance from the city center, 6 minutes to railway station by tram, which is 5 minutes walk from the apartment.There are few nice restaurants nearby, but the most of them are about 15-20 minutes walking distance.The breakfast is fine, the host could provide you with all necessary information about the city.The most enjoyable thing concerning the apartment is an amazing terrace on the roof of the building with stunning view on the Cathedral dome and the city.
Disliked: Slippers in the apartment would be nice.
