This was a wonderful location - very close to a meeting that I was attending in Fiesole. My room was clean and spacious and the bathroom was updated and modern. There is a nice kitchen/dining area for common use and a wonderful outdoor deck. The hosts were very communicative before my trip and sent excellent instructions (along with video) on how to access the facility. It is located in a suburban neighborhood about 20 minutes by taxi from central Florence. It is also on the #7 bus line and there is a stop very nearby. There is a wonderful little coffeeshop about ten minutes down the hill. It is on a Main Street so the car traffic can be a bit noisy.

We had a lovely stay at the B&B Albero Mago. Sara, the host, has been very kind and helpful and has done everything she could, despite the language barrier, to accommodate us, respond to all our questions and even booked a restaurant for us in the evening. The flat is in an old building, very clean and comfortable and beautifully decorated. We loved the terrace at the back of the property, with wonderful views of the back garden and beyond. The location is away from the town center but easy to reach by bus and the bus stop is just 2' away from the property. We rated it lower not because of the distance, as we loved seeing other parts of Florence, but due to the level of noise from the road, which was quite high and made it difficult to sleep. We didn't realize there would be so much traffic on the road at night. Breakfast is plentiful but rather basic. Overall, a nice place to spend a few days in Florence.

The owner not living on site, tenants must prepare their own breakfasts. The products provided are of mediocre quality, industrial products except for fresh fruits.\n\nNo shops nearby.\n\nPositive point: bus stop nearby.

Very charming and soul in this ancient building, very well appointed with great taste, very clean, full of small attentions, and abundant food for a hearty breakfast before starting the day of visits and walks. It overlooks one side onto the street and the other onto a beautiful garden. The hostess is very friendly and gave us many practical tips, very wise ideas for visits, and information on transportation. The room on the street side is however very very noisy, as there is a lot of traffic, no question of sleeping without earplugs... the other side is perfectly quiet. Last advantage: a place to park the car and leave it during the stay. Excellent address!

The B&B was not our first choice but we were not disappointed at all. Less than 100 meters away is a bus stop with direct connection to the center of Florence. The courtyard has a beautiful terrace, not visible from the street. The large kitchen invites to sit together. All inquiries were promptly answered by Sara. Thank you very much.

The property is very simple and in some respects a bit old-fashioned. The rooms, however, are comfortable, the bathrooms are new and clean and the linens are very white and fragrant. The shared kitchen area is tidy and equipped with everything you might need, but it might benefit from a refresh. Overall, it is definitely a place to consider for its excellent value for money and for its location outside the center but not so far as to feel isolated.

I liked the structure not for the voices reported, but because, even though it is not located in the center of Florence, it is well connected to the center and S. Maria Novella station by a quite convenient bus. Also, the room where I stayed is clean and pleasant, the bathroom is new and very functional, with a nice shower, and finally, a very important aspect, the owner is kind and very helpful.

martina

Albero Mago is a very welcoming place that immediately gives the feeling of "home". Sara, who manages it, was very kind to me and waited for me until late to welcome me without making it a burden. You can feel the human interaction with the person being welcomed, but especially her personal touch also in the rooms. I rated slightly lower only for breakfast because I would have preferred more fresh items, but still having the whole kitchen available was convenient. The place is not very close to the center, but you can take beautiful walks or it is well served by the bus. The room where I slept was clean, tidy, full of books, and the brand new bathroom very comfortable. I will definitely come back.

Well-organized, welcoming and very clean structure. Mrs. Sara, kind and very helpful. We stayed there because of the proximity to the Artemio Franchi stadium (10 minutes on foot) to attend Ligabue's concert.

The B&B Albero Mago is located on the first floor of a period building. The interiors are renovated and welcoming. The kitchen, where guests help themselves at the time they prefer, is small but equipped and functional. While this represents a great advantage, on the other hand, the breakfast offer is rather limited: biscuits, snacks, jams, and packaged bread. The balcony is a true corner of Paradise, at sunset, before going out for dinner, it is simply soothing. The bedroom (we got the Red one) is surprising, better than it looks in the photos on the website: spacious, quiet, very comfortable bed, new and large bathroom, spotlessly clean shower. Strengths of the structure: value for money, cleanliness, tranquility. Mrs. Sara is very kind, but we only saw her for five minutes just upon arrival. However, this is precisely the B&B's policy: autonomy! We will definitely come back next year for the Mugello weekend.

Beautiful apartment immersed in the greenery, equipped with a very well-equipped kitchen. Well-kept place in detail and spacious. The only flaw is the quite busy road leading to Fiesole, for the rest everything was magnificent. I hope to return if I have the opportunity!

The Albero Mago was an optimal choice for our short stay. The location allows you to stay outside the center of Florence, which is however reachable in 10 minutes by bus from the center (the bus stop is right below the house). Magnificent balcony overlooking the greenery, to be enjoyed for breakfast. Sara was very helpful and upon our arrival she showed us both the main places in the center of Florence on a map and some restaurants and bars in the vicinity of the B&B. For sure if we were to return to Florence we will come back. Highly recommended.

The structure is beautiful, very welcoming and well-kept in detail. Our room was very spacious and quiet with a large window overlooking a splendid garden where you can also have breakfast on the little terrace. Mrs. Sara was very kind and very helpful in giving us all the directions to visit Florence. The structure is about 10 minutes from the center by bus and the stop is just a stone's throw away. Highly recommended.

B&B very nice, cozy and familiar. Suitable for couples and for those who stop only to sleep. The house is immersed in its garden with a splendid terrace. The rooms are colorful and full of books, they are very clean and there is everything necessary to wash. The shared kitchen is very practical, the only flaw is breakfast, it is abundant but lacks attention in the products, however for the rest it is a B&B that I recommend to everyone, of any age, also because the location is excellent, the stop for the circular is a few steps from the house and runs until midnight/one at night. I would like to thank the owner for her availability and welcome.

The little terrace at the back is spectacular, surrounded by greenery, it doesn't even feel like being in Florence. The owner is nice and helpful. Rating 10.

elena

Very nice B&B, large, cozy and clean room. Excellent opportunity to use the kitchen and we appreciated being able to have breakfast on the terrace. Breakfast is self-service, Sara leaves everything you need in the kitchen and in the fridge (both sweet and savory breakfast). There was no TV in the room but we were so tired after a day out in Florence that we didn't miss it. Excellent Wi-Fi reception. The only downside is the window of the room facing the main street. We slept well anyway but someone more sensitive to noise might have difficulty. Strength: bus stop 3 minutes away, in 10 minutes by bus you are already in the center.
