This is a lovely B and B within walking distance of Florence city centre. It is quiet and there is a lovely peaceful terrace. Angelica was particularly kind when I became ill during the last day of my stay there. Thank you!

The shower was tiny and a little difficult to move in but the bathroom was big. The fridge was also very tiny and on the floor so not as accessible as other accommodation we stayed in.

Great location, easy to find from the Santa Maria Novella station, just a 15 mins walk. Huge room with high ceilings and big beautiful windows with a view to the stunning Orthodox church next door. The terrace was massive and a great place to sit as the sun is setting with a drink and watch the bats take flight.

There isn't much of anything to be negative about in this urban niche.

The host was amazing and so helpful. Having had breakfast there was a pleasant experience since there is a very large terrace that accommodates a dozen tables (with plenty of sun). The room was beautifully clean. Very, very recommended. The bed there was so comfy, and I had a great sleep.

Angelica was helpful and accommodated an early check in. Nice balcony and view of orthodox church. Great location. It was a few minutes walk from the the crowded tourist areas. They were easy to get to but it was relaxing to get away from the crowd.

The view from the breakfast tes=rrace was very much to my wife's liking with the onion-spired church opposite. Public transport was local cheap and quick, taxis were friendly and cheap.

We enjoyed our visit to Il Sorriso. The location for us was ideal, staff was lovely and we enjoyed the quiet terrace with a view of the gorgeous chuch.

Fantastic host, great communication, spacious room with lovely terrace to have breakfast/relax on after enjoying the sights Florence has to offer!

The road was very noisy, it was difficult to sleep, and when opening the windows, the noise was overwhelming. Check in procedure a bit tricky since this has to be done remotely, but with instructions from the host on What's app, this was ok.

Location a little apart from the touristed city centre. Felt safe to walk around. Room was very nice and big with everything needed. Cleaning was excellent, the room was cleaned every day. Nice and big terrace. I didn't have time to have breakfast but this was offered as room service, very nice. The host Angelica responded very fast on What's app.

No tea/coffee facilities or even a communal machine. A vending machine could also be useful.

Clean, comfy beds, lovely staff

Breakfast is quite poor for this price.

Big and nicely decorated room, comfortable bed. It was also quiet during the night because our room was facing the inner block. Lovely terrace with a view to an Orthodox church. Easy 15-minute walk to the city center.

It would have been nice if we'd had glasses in our room for water and drinks. We were supplied with disposable cups, however they were very flimsy and the one I had leaked.

Good location for transport to city centre. Nice cafes and restaurants nearby. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The breakfast that was an additional service was quite poor, although the location where you have it is very nice. But there are plenty of places in Florence were you can have a full breakfast, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me.

The location was excellent, very close to the cultural center but relatively far from the touristic frenzy of Florence. The room was quite spacious and clean with a big balcony and bright.

It could not directly related with the building itself maybe, but the bathroom smells.

Apartment was clean and houseowner had helpful, welcoming attitude. Room was clean. It's close to the tram and you can take the tram to go train station.

The ability to get a cup of coffee or tea would have been nice

Loved the terrace, being able to sit and take in the view. Property was very clean with very friendly staff. We paid for the optional breakfast served on the terrace which was lovely

The noise, garbage collection early early morning hours maybe it was during the night!

Nothing.

Angelica was so friendly and helpful and breakfast on the terrace is not to be missed.

We were probably a bit further out than I expected, but actually, the walk to and from the places we wanted to visit was fine. I was a bit concerned about Angelica not being on site all the time, but she was always reachable by phone/text, so it wasn't an issue. I would say to anyone, though - watch those paving stones! That's how I injured my ankle

The room with its terrace was lovely and Angelica was very kind and helpful. Whatever questions we asked, Angelica answered and she made our stay stress-free. While there I twisted my ankle quite badly and had to leave early because walking was so difficult. Angelica could not have been kinder. Because of my ankle we visited some places closer to the B&B than we had planned and I am really glad we did - fewer crowds.

Big room! Staff was amazing and so kind. They made us a cappuccino when we got there and let us sit on the terrace to enjoy it... it was also one of the best we had in Italy. They make a sweet little breakfast for €10, very worth it

The rooms are facing towards quite a big street with traffic, so you just need to be prepared that it won’t be quiet even with closed windows. We indicated during booking that we need 2 separate beds, but additional bad at the room wasn’t prepared. Since we arrived very late, there already was no possibility to ask about it. It didn’t spoil anything, but still.

Clean room, short distance (around 15 minutes) from railway station. Good host who explained all details for our late arrival

The only thing we would have liked would have been the option to make a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon so we could relax on the terrace after a long day out. Even if it was in a communal area.

The apartment was beautiful, as was the terrace area. It was great to have an elevator for the luggage, though we had to get it up some stairs initially. We found a fabulous pizzeria where I had the best pizza ever - Penta Bistrot. It was a bit of a walk but well worth it. We walked to the old part of town early in the morning, which was lovely. By the end of the day we were worn out and found a bus from the old part of town that stopped right in front of the door. Perfect (though the bus ride was pretty wild - you had to hang on tight). So the location was good, and the bed was comfortable.
