Il Grillo di Firenze

From before our arrival, Lara and Lorenzo were on top of things, making sure they knew when to expect us if before their check-in hours as they are not at the property all the time, and providing easy to follow instructions on how to get there. When we did arrive, Lara was very welcoming, offering something to drink and providing us with tips on what to see and do. They were even gracious when I accidentally bolted the door on our first night! Free breakfast included; a note that it is store boughten pastries, some cereal and ham, but it makes do until other meals. Good, reliable wifi. Super close to local bus routes that will get you into city of Florence and Santa Maria Novella Station.

Professionally run by young husband & wife who live off the premises. Only drawback we found was that it was about 15 minutes from the City centre and there were limited restaurants/cafes in the immediate locality.

This was a great place to enjoy the city of Venice. It was right on the bus line Isco the city center and Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station. It is within walking distance of the city c niter if you don't mind a 30 minute walk.

The host family is really sweet and helpful. You won't be disappointed.

Stayed in many places in Europe this summer and it was our favorite. If there's a word stronger than hospitable, that's what our hosts were. They were fabulous and truly made florence special. The room isn't large, but it's clean, comfortable, and had a balcony. The shared kitchen and outdoor balcony overlooking the Tuscan mountains really contributed to a homey stay. Check in was above and beyond and breakfast was great. Nothing was too much trouble for Lara and Lorenzo. They truly wanted us to have an amazing experience and we did. And for the value, there's no way anyone could convince me there was a better place to stay. If you're in Italy looking for value and b&b type experience, which I think is best in this particular area, than look no further than here! You won't be sorry.
