See more B&B. See best of Florence in Italy.


A friendly, cosy, mid-budget B&B, which feels more like home than hotel, in Florence’s colourful Santa Croce quarter

Owner Mariangela Catalani bills her Florence house as a ‘home away from home’ and, clichéd though it might be, it certainly rings true for her guests. From the first page, her guest book is full of thanks for the “wonderful hospitality”, “endless help and advice”, “exquisite sense of design and attention to detail”, “tasty breakfast and cooking classes”, and invitations to “come and see us any time”. It’s the true spirit of bed and breakfast.

But this is definitely a cut above most B&B’s. The 4 rooms – double or twin bedded, with ensuite bathroom – are small but cleanly and cleverly decorated. On the first floor is a covered terrace where Mariangela serves a fresh and varied breakfast. She also dishes out valuable advice on what to see and do in Florence, and will happily cook dinner for you, with or without a culinary commentary (in perfect English). If you want to get under the skin of this rich and fascinating city, to discover the most typical trattorie and the most genuine gelati, to shop in street markets and cook cucina casalinga, then - benvenuti - you’re in the right place!
