Why people love it

  • Francesca and the team. Francesca is named in many reviews, along with Valeria, for restaurant tips, train help and meeting guests on the street with baggage.
  • Location. Guests say it is across the street from the Accademia and about 300 meters from the Duomo.
  • Space for families. Guests describe two and three bedroom apartments with kitchens, high ceilings and room for six people.
  • Quiet garden rooms. One guest in March 2025 said the rooms overlooking the internal garden were spacious and surprisingly quiet.

Why they come back

"I always go there with pleasure. A beautiful place."

The worst thing guests say

The lowest ratings are 3 and 4 stars. Two guests, in 2022 and 2023, found the beds uncomfortable, and one in 2022 said blinds would not close. A 2019 guest said the building is old and could use minor renovation, and a 2017 guest found the Wi-Fi weak. Since 2024, the reviews checked contain no complaints.

Insider tips

  • Ask Francesca for restaurant and train advice.
  • Airport pickups were arranged by the team for one guest in December 2023.
  • Request a room on the garden side for quiet.
