Bad Hosting
The room was large and comfortable, location good and hosts friendly however there were a few items that we simply can’t look past. We were provided a piece or two of dry toast and some juice for breakfast every morning. This was not what was advertised and really put a dampener on the experience. In addition, even though we were there for 4 nights and 5 days our room wasn’t serviced once. We were left with the same towels for the duration of the stay so by the end they were quite manky even though we dried them every day. There was also a number of signs all over the unit telling you what you can and can’t do. This is very offputting. We also requested tea, the hosts didn’t have so were forced to get our own. We also had to buy our own milk for tea and even had to EY our own cereal for breakfast.

Great place to stay if you’re heading to Florence
Guelfi e Ghibellini was a great place for my boyfriend and I to stay while we were in Florence, especially as we are students and are a bit tight for money. The family run business has recently been managed by the two brothers and they were nothing but friendly, attentive, professional, funny and kind. They made us feel very welcome and ensured a comfortable stay in the city. It is around a 20 minute walk to basically everything, making it relatively more quiet than some central hotels. We were not given breakfast at all but we really didn’t mind and would definitely recommend as well as return if/when we go to Florence again.

Wonderful Italian hospitality
Amazing hospitality... The room was very spacious and the bed was very comfortable.. The shared bathroom was spacious and we never saw the other guests so cues weren't an issue. Although we didn't have the breakfast it looked and smelled amazing... It is a 5-7 minute walk to the town loop buses, which leave every 10 minutes or so. We wished we could have stayed loner than our 2 nights. Highly recommend this gorgeous BnB.

Not a good value for the price. Very ordinary room in old building. No elevators, bathroom is private but separate, too soft mattress, host speaks very little English and is very rigid about rules. I would give it a 2 star rating, acceptable as a plan B but not for the price I paid.

We're melting
The reservation said it had breakfast included, and we woke up to find that we had to pay extra. The reservation also said we had a free bottle of wine- which we never got- and would much rather have had the breakfast than the wine. The heat was absolutely mortifying and there was only a fan and Windows to open, however the open windows let in too much outside noise. The heat made us both sleep terribly causing us to leave a night early, and we didn't get a refund for it.

Avoid this place.
I would avoid this place. 1) We had two nights booked with Expedia, but the hotel only booked us for a night and they needed to relocate us to another hotel which is 30 mins away by walk. No arrangement of transportation to transfer to another hotel, so we walked for the 30mins with our luggage. 2) An attendant/owner of the place were not available at the office until an hour after the check-in time. Even though they asked me what time we will be there and I told them the time, they weren't at the office when we got there. A poor couple who came at the "check-in time" wasted their hour waiting for the owner/attendant. The couple called the place, but nobody picked up the call. In the end, a resident of the same building came out to tell us we are bothering them because we were knocking the door of the building etc. The kind resident told us this issue is happening almost everyday.... When the owner/attendant finally showed up, he told us not to call him because he knows what his business hour is.... oh one more thing...... i sent an email telling another attendant/owner we and other two couples have been waiting for them for a while, but no reply to the message. 3) My bf saw staff leaving the place 30 mins before the expected business hours. One good thing: once you are in the B and B, the owners/attendants are nice and kind.

Give it a Miss - does not feel like home
My partner and I stayed in Florence for three nights and even though there were mixed reviews, decided to give this B&B a go. Wish we had have paid a little extra and stayed somewhere else because it really ruined our time in Florence. When we booked online we were excited to see that it included a free bottle of wine. But when my partner mentioned it while paying the city tax, the owner simply said that they didn't have any. That as it was complimentary, they didn't actually have to provide it. Well I'm sorry, but that is straight up false advertising. The breakfast is really poor considering they call themselves a B&B. They don't replenish anything, so if you don't get in early, you will probably miss out. The juice is like cordial, and if you want an extra coffee they charge you for it. The owner watches everything you take, and is very intimidating. The fact that the owners make people pay 40 euros just for checking in after 7:30pm speaks volumes for how they run their B&B. We felt incredibly unwelcome and awkward during our stay here, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

The best people in all of Florence!!!
We loved our stay at this hotel!! The Fanti family are the best people you will meet in all of Italy! Our room was very comfortable, much more room than most places you'll stay in Italy, and the breakfast each morning is wonderful! Also very quiet neighborhood, but within walking distance to all of Florence. But let me say one more time how much we love Ricardo, Paola and Serena. We left Italy with much more than gifts and souvenirs - we left with lifetime friends!!!

Book at your own risk!!!
A family run business which provides the essentials with a smile. That is as far as it goes! If you are the type of traveller that is willing to pay a little extra for something nicer, this place is not for you. We paid extra for the "terrace room" and had booked it 5 months in advance. This room was given to another couple and we were stuck with a dusty room and shared facilities instead. The excuse we received was - an error in booking on behalf of expedia (who owns wotif). After numerous requests to see the booking from management to confirm that this was truly the case, all we got was excuses of illness and "too busy" to send me an email. We are still waiting for that email. This is a reoccurring thing. For other TESTIMONIES ON THE SAME ISSUE check TRIP ADVISOR for silimar cases. In addition, after the initial complaint, it took 20 hours to speak to someone with the authority to perhaps fix the issue. By this time, we had already booked another place and only regret that we hadn't done it immediately. This experience truly ruined our Florentine trip and would advise to ask questions to management before making the booking.

Serena and her mom made me feel like visiting old friends in Florence! Make sure you get the key to the private bathroom if you booked one. I didn't realize that until I was back in Vancouver archiving my itinerary. I used the shared bathroom, it was empty whenever I needed it anyway. Overall, it's a good B & B to stay in.

It was a little further from the city than expected, but not too far. When we arrived the owner was extremely warm and welcoming. She explained everything and recommended some restaurants.

A fabulous stay in Florence
I had a really wonderful stay here. The location is slightly out of the very centre, but still well within walking distance, and the area feels appreciably less touristy. The room with a terrace was pleasant and warm in the winter, the bed was very comfy. The terrace looked lovely, nice plants and ceramics, with a view of Fiesole. The owners were very friendly - I had some lovely conversations at breakfast in my shocking Italian! They made me feel very welcome, and I've learned a lot about Santa Croce and calcio storico. Breakfast was also great, proper coffee, fresh pastry, salami, cheese, cereal, yoghurt, and even special cakes on festival days. I love Florence, and am looking forward to returning here - and to this B&B in particular - as soon as possible.

Pleasant B&B
We enjoyed our stay and the people were friendly. The B&B is up several flights of stairs and we had four heavy cases so i didn't enjoy that too much, but that was our fault not the B&B's. Travel light and you will have no worries.
