San Pier Novello in Oltrarno

The frescoes in our room were unbelievably beautiful. Waking up to them every morning was a special experience, and my husband and I slept incredibly well. I’m very picky about beds in hotels and B&Bs, but these mattresses were so comfortable, and the pillows were great too. This family-run place has a lovely atmosphere. The hosts were warm and friendly, and made us feel so welcome in Florence. Breakfast was different each day and delicious. The neighborhood is incredibly quiet, yet it’s quick and easy to walk into the center and reach all sorts of things to do. I’ve already recommended the B&B to family visiting Florence later this year. We loved staying here and absolutely recommend it.

The rooms were easily the prettiest we’ve ever stayed in. It was such a lovely visit in a peaceful part of Florence, and Martina was a brilliant host. Her family made a breakfast full of treats. We’d recommend staying here to anyone visiting.

We were so lucky to meet the grandfather who grew up in this beautiful, rustic house. Hearing about its history gave the place a wonderful sense of the past, and the frescoes made it feel like sleeping in our own little Florence chapel. James and I couldn’t believe how lovely they were. Martina looked after us from the moment we arrived, with outstanding hospitality. The amenities were lovely too. The house is in a great area, away from the tourist bustle but still within about a 15-minute walk of anywhere we wanted to explore. We’d definitely recommend it for the service, location, and magical feel.

We loved how quiet the house was, just off the street, and the frescoes were wonderful to lie back and admire. We were also lucky to meet Martina’s grandparents and hear about the old building. It was magical. It’s easy to walk to all the main sights from here, and the less touristy part of town was great for finding restaurants on the square. Martina was incredibly hospitable. An unforgettable stay.
