Nice large room in the city centre of Firenze. All good with the exception of bicycle parking. We are probably one of the very few who travel by bicycle, so we need a safe place to park. I didn't mention this upfront to our host, so that is my fault. A solution was found with the nearby parking, which was nice but at a cost of €20 a day. This, and the overload of tourists (to which we are also contributing), made Firenze a bit less attractive.
stayed from 09/22/2025 to 09/25/2025
The answer from the host:
Ciao Leonardus, grazie della recensione. Mi dispiace per le biciclette ma come hai onestamente detto, è importante chiedere tali servizi prima della prenotazione. Per quanto riguarda il grande numero di turisti in città ovviamente non possiamo fare molto. Con questo spero di riavervi presto ospiti magari in un periodo di bassa stagione così da poter godere al meglio di Firenze

We had a really spacious room on the 'piano nobile' first floor of a flat in original conditions of a Palazzo with long corridors, etc. Good bed and mattress. Windows facing the street with good soundproofing, people walking on the street did not disturb us at all. The host is very friendly and helpful, and we appreciated that he rents rooms in a flat of his own. He offered us a late checkout as cleaning was delayed by some hours on the day of our departure. Perfect location. Furniture is a creative mix of old and new, the bathroom was rather small but totally fine for us. We would return to this place and recommend it to others, if they (as we do) prioritize originality and local spirit over newness and perfection.
stayed from 09/23/2022 to 09/25/2022
The answer from the host:
thank you Jan! see you next time I hope!

Charming room in a historical property in the center of Florence and full of local character is an absolute gem. Federico, the host, has been very welcoming and happy to recommend places to visit, eat and shop in Florence so his guests could make the most out of the holiday. I rented it to do the summer painting course and enjoyed my stay very much, bug thanks to Federico. Highly recommended!

Very large room, very comfortable bedding. Very quiet. 5 minutes from the Duomo. Our bathroom is tiny. Little storage possible in the closet (no shelves to put clothes). For 4 days, it's very annoying. Reception from our host very brief. But I recommend for the calm and ideal location !!

We stayed at this B&B and could not have made a better choice: the location is really very central, just a few steps from the Cathedral, ideal for exploring the city comfortably on foot. The room was very well kept, equipped with a private bathroom and a lovely little terrace. Very convenient too is the presence of a supermarket at a very short distance. A special thanks to Federico, the host: from the moment of booking he proved to be extremely kind and attentive, welcoming us with great availability. Highly recommended!

We stayed in room 6 overlooking the main street. The room is very bright and spacious while the bathroom is very small. For a superior room and for the price paid, I would have liked to find at least a small refrigerator since there is surely enough space. It was hot and every time buying a bottle (you pay more for a cold one) and bringing it up was a bit uncomfortable because then it would get warm. There was no television either.
stayed from 10/11/2024 to 10/14/2024
The answer from the host:
Gentile Stefania, grazie della recensione e dei consigli che sono sempre ben accetti se costruttivi. Tutte le dotazioni delle nostre camere (alcune hanno il frigo) son ben indicate nelle descrizioni. Per quanto riguarda il frigo abbiamo comunque in programma di metterlo anche in quella camera, per le tv abbiamo fatto questo tipo di scelta anche perché la nostra clientela è prettamente estera e non ha interesse ad averla. In questo caso i costi di mantenimento annuali, più che di acquisto, non ne giustificano l'installazione. Speriamo comunque vi siate trovati bene e di riavervi ancora ospiti

For breakfast the structure collaborates with a nearby bar that is also a restaurant. Everything very good, quite varied and at a reasonable price. I recommend it to everyone. For the structure everything is perfect and in a quiet area that allows undisturbed sleep at night. The manager is a kind, exquisite person always ready to meet the needs of customers. Everything was perfect. If I return to Florence, I will not fail to contact him again.

The location is perfect for visiting the city. The street where it is located seemed safe even in the evening. The room is very spacious, welcoming, and clean (as well as the en-suite bathroom). The soundproof windows isolate from the passage of tourists. The owner was very helpful and kind for the reservation and check-in. In the room, there are a kettle and tea bags. It was a perfect stay and if I had to return to Florence, I would definitely stay there again.

Relais Accademia is strategically located to fully experience the center of Florence: a few steps away you can admire the David, the Basilica and the Baptistery. Another positive aspect is the very spacious and comfortable rooms. Punctual reception and always available for any request. Overall, I recommend it.

Federico, the manager, was very helpful and friendly. Note that the property is located in the city center, so it is inside the ZTL. If you arrive by car, it can be a bit complicated to reach; you can leave the car outside the ZTL or park it in a paid parking lot in front of the property. It is inside a historic apartment, the room is rather spartan but still functional and welcoming. Very clean. The bathroom in the room is rather small and lacks a bidet. However, the location is very convenient and despite being in the city center, it is also very quiet. Comfortable bed and pillow. There is also a small terrace overlooking a delightful tree-lined courtyard. Reasonable price compared to Florence's standards. I was traveling for work and would definitely return.

An excellent stay! Relais Accademia is located just a 1-minute walk from the Galleria dell'Accademia and very close to other sites such as the Duomo and the Uffizi Gallery. The Firenze SM Novella train station is just a 15-minute walk away, so there is no need for a taxi. The room is incredibly spacious and well furnished with a modern bathroom. Federico, the manager, is very kind and kept in touch from booking to check out. I will recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Florence.

Gent. ma Doris, la ringrazio della recensione. Vorrei puntualizzare che ci sono le finestre insonorizzate oltre ai vecchi infissi (quindi doppie finestre!) Io stesso dormo in quel lato della struttura spesso e volentieri, certo è che si dorme con le finestre aperte, Essendo a due passi dal Duomo qualche rumore è inevitabile sentirlo!per quanto riguarda il rapporto qualità prezzo, una camera singola di 35 metri quadri, nel pieno centro di Firenze in altissima stagione a 70€ non credo sia facile da trovare!Spero comunque che vi siate trovate bene nonostante questo inconveniente!

Strategic location 100 meters from the Duomo of Florence, on a not very busy street. Spacious, clean apartment. Accommodates 6 rooms with private bathroom. Breakfast not included. Excellent value for money. The manager is extraordinarily kind. Comfortable and quiet rooms, equipped with TV, AC, well-functioning wifi. Only advice: if you have special needs for shampoo and shower gel, bring them from home because there you will only find generic hand soap. Excellent. I will definitely come back.
