Toscanelli Residenza d'Epoca

Pretty much everything! The welcome from Paola and Andrew (and the communication from them before we arrived) was excellent and warm. The room itself was beautifully decorated and very comfortable - and with a pretty view over the rooftops. We also liked the location - in a quieter part of Florence. Paola and Andrew also gave us some excellent recommendations for restaurants within a few minutes walking distance - always a bonus when you’ve spent the day walking the city.

The bedroom was very cozy despite its size, and the beds (especially the pillows) were really comfortable. Andrew and Paola were friendly and gave us a very informative guide of the room and the quirky elevator. The place is very close to the city center and its points of interest (it's right across the river Arno, next of the Pitti Palace). Overall a great experience that I would repeat if I were to stay in Venice again.

The location was in the restricted zone so car without permitted is not able to enter. The host (Andrew) was very helpful and guided me to book a spot in nearby garage with permission to enter the zone. We were quite lost in driving and the host came down to find us and we went to park the car together. The host also helped us to carry the luggages to the apartment. The apartment is very spacious and nice. The view is very romantic. There is also a lift.

I've stayed here a couple times now, I love the location, perfectly situated. The building inside and out is authentic, bedrooms are really spacious and bright. The free map and information pack left for you is a nice touch, they even list the best times to visit or the kind of vibe the place offers. There's so many places to eat but if you love Hot Chocolate, Gino's Bakery offers one of the best I've tried. Just turn left from the hotel, walk towards Ponte Vecchio and you'll see it on the right side. If you're staying at the hotel you're also offered a discount at one of the cafes near by. See you on my next visit!

This residence was one of the best events of our 10 days in Italy. The hosts. Paula and Andrew made our stay in Florence truly amazing . They messaged us before our stay, and made sure they were available when we arrived. They assisted us with baggage and explained all of the B&B nuances. A list of local attractions and eating spots was provided. The care and grace of this couple was well above any expectations. We felt as if we were staying with friends in their home. The rooms are very comfortable from bed to bath. Paula showed us two other rooms that weren't available when we booked,. Bot of those rooms were very nice ! The suite upstairs in unbelievably nice with postcard views from the windows! I will definitely make this suite a priority on our next visit. Location is superb. A few minute walk from Ponte Vechio and very close to all of the other main attractions. Pitti palace is directly out the front door. A bus stop is also directly out the front door. Taxi stop once again right out the front door! Plenty of top notch restaurants and shopping all within a short walk. ABSOLUTEY WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!
