Property information

La Residenza dell'Orafo is a newly renovated B&B in the heart of Florence. Our property has fancy and stylish rooms with a particular attention to details: each room has a name dedicated to precious stones (as for example Amber, Quarz, Amethist) and different colors to enjoy the sight and make our guests feel relaxed, after a daily city tour. Our aim is to make travellers to feel like at home so our guests have their own keys and they find a welcome drink and a boiler to prepare their own hot tea or coffee. Our reception is close at night (and we leave an emergency number - just in case) but during the day the staff is at guests' disposal to give as all the information and assistance as needed.
