La Locandiera is my small jem, it is a charming and welcoming B&B in Florence city of art, a place rich in archaeological sites UNESCO world heritage, located in the heart of the city near Santa Maria Novella Station, just 10 minutes walking from the Duomo, an historic building where past and present blend into a unique mix to ensure maximum comfort. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the colors and lights of the shopping streets to appreciate and buy the products of local artisans, to build delicious food and wine routes through which to discover traditions and cultures, to follow cultural events and exhibitions, immerse yourself in the quiet of lush gardens and beautiful landscapes.

A short distance from the property you will find examples of our Florentine heritage and various tourist attractions. In particular, the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella is only 370 mt away.

La Locandiera is the ideal location for all traveling families who will feel at home here, but also for those traveling for business or for a dream holiday in a romantic and discreet environment.

The 5 rooms at your disposal are all very welcoming, tastefully furnished and without excess, a warm parquet overhangs the entire room and the large windows provide a beautiful natural light. In every room you will find a breakfast table where to eat meals in the privacy of your room. Each room is equipped with a mini fridge with a complimentary bottle of water, electric kettle and tray with wide choice of Twinings Tea, Twinings Infusions and Nescafé Coffee. Each room has a private marble or gray marble bathroom with shower, complete with everything you might need.

Every morning I will give you the good morning with a delicious breakfast I bring in your room at a time of your choice between 8 am to 10 am offering croissants of pastry and a wide variety of sweet and salty.

During your stay I will always be at your disposal to advise you on the monuments to visit, the parks where you can relax and where to surprise you with a wonderful view of the city. I can advise you where to eat a good Florentine or an excellent ice cream, I can book tours and guided tours, and especially book tickets for museums to avoid being queued hours and hours. In short, if you let me drive you, I can help you spend fantastic days in Florence.. !!

I only rated the property lower than 10 because the area isn't the best. But that's Florence by the train station. I took a chance because it's a fairly short walk to the rental car location, and we only there 1 night. Our host, Silvia, was 1 of the most pleasant people I've ever met. The room was spotless and breakfast in the room was nice. There is laundry right next door. 5e to wash and 5e to dry. Bottom line, if we come back to Florence, we will stay here without hesitation. And hopefully Silvia will still be here.

The structure 'La Locandiera' is very close to the train station and within walking distance to major tourist attractions. Breakfasts are very good, with delicious warm croissants, meats, cheeses, yogurts, and fruits. The shower stall was small. Our host Silvia arranged for the car transfer from the airport and allowed us to leave our luggage after check-out a few hours before we needed to catch the train.

We highly recommend La Locandiera! The room was spacious for 3 people, we were given a menu for breakfast and given the option to choose the time we would like it served, it was very fresh, it was excellent! Very close to the train station and a nice walk to everything. A huge thank you to Silvia, she was so helpful, spoke very good English. A very kind person! She will go the extra mile to help you as much as she can. We will definitely go back!

We had a wonderful vacation. I highly recommend La Locandiera for the availability and kindness of Silvia, the owner, always ready to fulfill customers' requests, even with food intolerances, and especially for the strategic location a few steps from the central station and the city center. Excellent and healthy breakfast in the room.

I felt at home. Silvia welcomed me with care and attention. I recommend it because she is uniquely helpful and kind, and also for the very central location of her B&B; in fact, I could easily reach every place on foot without difficulty. I will definitely go back ❤️.

I spent a weekend of work and pleasure with my daughter, I recommend this Bed-And-Breakfast for several reasons: 1) the structure is in a strategic position, very close to the station, close to the Fortezza, close to the center. 2) new structure with simple and refined furniture. 3) excellent quality-price ratio. 4) Kindness, friendliness, and availability of Silvia, the hostess. Oh, I was about to forget, clean.

Everything very clean and fragrant, La Locandiera is managed by a very kind lady. The rooms are spacious, with high ceilings and well-structured. Breakfast served in the room with Teutonic punctuality and a wide selection. We had a great time and definitely recommend it.

Delightful Bed and Breakfast, located just a few meters from the Florence Station and the city center.\n\nThe owner will make you feel immediately at ease, she is very kind and helpful. The breakfast is good and plentiful, served in the room at the time you indicate on the menu (a great convenience).\n\nI highly recommend it, as if I were to return to Florence, I would undoubtedly choose to stay again in this structure!

Arriving at the station alone and reaching La Locandiera in a few minutes, immediately finding someone waiting for me who welcomed me showing the room, equipped with all the comforts that had been described to me, was reassuring. The room with bathroom, sky, wifi, kettle was so comfortable that it was a pleasure to come back in the evening after a long day of walking. Even the breakfast and the time that I was given the opportunity to choose the night before, was brought to my room very kindly and always punctually. The owner was available for anything, provided me with a map also indicating the streets to take to reach the tourist attractions; I always moved on foot without needing to use public transport because La Locandiera is just a few steps from the church "Santa Maria Novella".
stayed from 02/01/2018 to 02/04/2018
The answer from the host:
Gentile Marie Elisa, è stato un vero piacere ospitarti e sono contenta che ti sia sentita a tuo agio e abbia passato un ottimo soggiorno nel mio piccolo bed and breakfast, ce la metto tutta per far sentire i miei ospiti un po' come a casa propria. Spero di ospitarti nuovamente se deciderai di tornare a Firenze! Ciao e a presto. Silvia.

The Duomo is within walking distance from the station in 10 minutes as well as the Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery. In the Santa Maria Novella area are also situated some kind of the best restaurant in town for pizza or for the TBone stick, (I will be very pleased to help to discover all of them) and also many pubs and clubs which especially in summer are full of young people from all over the world. Just outside the station, past the McDonald's you will find Piazza dell’Unità Italiana and continuing crossing it diagonally across you will arrive easily in San Lorenzo, famous for the beautiful church of San Lorenzo and also for the market of the same name where you can find objects of any kind made of how this area craftsmanship and you can also visit the central market, where besides buying vegetables and fresh fruit, on the first floor you can also enjoy a lunch and a dinner out of the ordinary!
