I travel and work in Italy and stay at this hotel every time I am in Florence. The location is excellent, a 5 minute walk to the Duomo. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the terrace is amazing. If I ever need anything like a charger for my phone or a hair dryer, the husband and wife owners are... More

Perfect hotel just minutes from the train station. Carmel was very generous and after requesting a terrace gave us a beautiful room with a double door off the room to a huge common terrace. We were only there for a couple nights but it was a perfect spot to see Florence. She provided us with reservations for the Uffizi Gallery... More

I never write reviews, good or bad, but this place was so bad I had to. My husband and I just came back from a 10 day vacation in London and Italy. We spent 2 nights in Florence which I would consider 2 of the worst nights I have ever had on vacation. We were given room #6 (which seems... More

We only spent a day and half in Florence so we needed something close to the train station where we came and left from. Carmel was great, booked us reservations at Academia and Ufizzi which was extremely helpful especially given our tight... More

I stayed at Il Bargellino for four nights in late March/early April 2012. I had such a wonderful stay, where should I begin?!? I had a single room with shared bathroom down the hall. When I booked the room I thought the shared bathroom would be a problem, but it wasn't at all! I never, repeat NEVER had to wait... More

Our room had lots of character and great decor, along with being very clean. The shower was spacious with warm with and great water pressure! The owners are incredibly attentive, friendly, inviting, and accommodating. On... More
