Guest houses in Florence

This hotel is a charming conversion of an old building, located just a 5-minute walk from the train station. It only has a few rooms, which are all very quiet, safe, and well-equipped. There's a supermarket downstairs, making it super convenient for any supplies you might need. The owner is incredibly kind and helpful. They recommended a restaurant for T-bone steak and even taught us how to use a local booking app to reserve a table in advance, which saved us nearly 30 Euros thanks to a 30% discount! We actually used this app throughout our trip in Italy afterwards, as most restaurants offered great discounts through it. The owner also pointed us to a unique local perfume shop, which I highly recommend checking out – it’s a beautiful store and exceeded my expectations. Given that hotels in this area tend to be quite expensive, I highly recommend this place if you don't require extensive hotel services.

A Hidden Gem in Tuscany – Truly Special We absolutely loved our stay at I Parigi Corbinelli Residenze. This place is truly something special. The residence itself is a charming historic property that has been passed down through generations since the 1500s, and you can feel that beautiful sense of heritage the moment you arrive. The entire compound is incredibly gorgeous, peaceful, and full of character — it feels like a private Tuscan retreat. We arrived later than the official check-in time, but the owner was extremely kind and welcoming. He even called his son to come and help check us in despite the late hour. That level of hospitality really touched us. Our room was very spacious, comfortable, and well equipped. The hot water was excellent, the heating system worked perfectly, and we had a beautiful terrace to enjoy the surroundings. Everything felt cozy yet elegant. One of the highlights is the garden and breakfast area. Breakfast is simple but perfect — everything you need for a wonderful start to the day, and enjoying it while looking out over the peaceful garden made the morning feel magical. Another big plus is the very safe parking inside the property, which gave us great peace of mind while traveling. Honestly, the value for money here is incredible. The price they charge is almost underrated for such a beautiful place — it truly deserves more recognition. We also loved that there is a resident dog who played with our dog, which made the stay even more special for us. If our itinerary hadn’t been so packed, we would absolutely have stayed another night. This place is the perfect Tuscan getaway, and we will definitely return next time we are in the area. Highly recommended. ❤️

Let's start with the positives: The room was absolutely impeccable – from its design and decor to the overall experience, size, and amenities. It was so good, I'd honestly give it a 6 out of 5! Even the owner's photos don't do it justice; it's incredibly beautiful, spacious, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. Plus, it was spotless. I would definitely return to Florence just for this stunning room. It featured a double jacuzzi tub, a lovely terrace perfect for drinks and snacks, and even a sauna room – the first time I've ever seen one in a hotel room, though I didn't get a chance to use it. In short, everything about the room was perfect. The building itself has a charmingly old, manual elevator, which added a unique touch. Now for the downsides: Firstly, it's not in the absolute city center, located about 2 kilometers from the main attractions. While you can walk there, exploring the sights once you arrive still requires a lot of walking, which can be challenging in hot weather or if you're not up for extensive walking (like me). There's also a C1 bus nearby that goes to the sights, but if you don't want to wait an hour, don't even bother! Its schedule is a complete joke; you never know if or when it will show up. That said, I found staying a bit further out totally worth it for such a gorgeous room. My second issue was quite frustrating. Although it's listed as a 'hotel,' it's essentially a guesthouse or Airbnb, meaning there's no front desk. Any problems must be communicated via email with the host. Despite stating he's available 24/7, he wasn't responsive at all. On my first night, there was no hot water for the shower. I emailed the host the next day to report it, but he never replied – not even when he sent a reminder email for check-out! He completely failed to address the hot water issue. Luckily, I returned during the day and coincidentally met the cleaning lady, who helped me fix it. Otherwise, I would have gone a second day without hot water. So, be aware that without a proper front desk, problems might go unresolved... Aside from that, everything else was perfect. The nearby cafe recommended by the host also served a delicious breakfast. Oh, and the Chinese embassy is close by, which added an extra layer of safety and peace of mind.

The guest house location is so convenient, near the train station and only a few minutes' walk from most of the famous sightseeing points and shops. . We received detailed and clear instructions for entering the house, so the check-in procedure is completely self-service, offering the highest flexibility and autonomy that we wanted. The host also generously offered us luggage storage before check-in and after check-out, which is perfect for visitors planning a multi-city trip. We must also add our recommendations for the restaurants along Via Venezia—so close to the guesthouse and so tempting that we wanted to try them all (a pity we didn't stay longer and sample more).

This place is a 12-minute walk from the train station. The room was pretty basic, like a guesthouse in China. The shower area was tiny, and the air conditioning kept dripping water. It was too late to contact anyone, so I just went to sleep. The video shows the dripping AC unit.

We had a very good stay, the room was spacious and very comfortable. The only thing is that it’s not specify on trip.com that the room in not directly a part of the hotel but a room in a building at 4 minutes. The address for the checking is Via delle Ruote, 52, 50129 Firenze FI, Italy (Hotel royal). We could still enjoy all the services as breakfast, pool and luggage storage. I recommend

Very nice family hotel, the rooms are spacious and clean, and wine, cakes, etc. are also delivered. The transportation is very convenient. The train station is a 5-minute walk. The bus stop to the mall is between the hotel and the train station. There are also many places to eat around. Go out and walk on the right for 10 minutes to the commercial center...

The apartment is clean and equipped with everything you need. The bed is comfortable, the room is spacious. The check-in instructions were clear. The noise from the street was disturbing. Even with the window closed, you can hear the sound of every passing tram. It is no coincidence that earplugs were prepared, although they cannot improve the vibration caused by the passing tram much. And a personal note. In my previous booking, at other accommodations, the host's communication - despite the fact that there is no personal meeting - usually includes some kindness and personal attention. This was not the case here, although it would have been nice.

Really Nice Accommodation! The room was extremely spacious, and they gave us the room type we requested — a double bed and two single beds, perfect for our family of four. The washroom was very clean, and the room had everything we needed, including a coffee machine and hair dryer. The check-in instructions were super clear, which made the process easy. The location is excellent, very close to the main attractions, just a 10-minute walk away, and there’s a convenient pay-and-park nearby.

It is on 3rd floor, do not book if you have health or heart issues. The front building entrance look very unappealing and sometimes smells but onxe you are inside the house is fine. It appears to be a flat or apartment conversion with separate rooms with automated locks so you are sharing 1 floor common area with other guests but it is safe and you have privacy. There was no water till 5PM on checkin day due to council work. Room itself was big and ok for 1 night, cleaner was helpful and friendly, and owner or manager tried to help best they could. They would get a lot better review with a lift. Leaving early morning or coming in the dark trying to carry 2 luggages with lights that dont work in some floor with sone uneven steps can cause accidents or worse, so make sure you hv insurance when you are here.
