I almost don't want to share this review in fear that if I try and book this hotel again it will be full! This place was awesome. Each room is different, and has it's own flair, but the hotel was so eclectic and beautiful! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, every morning you get breakfast delivered to your room,...

We stayed in the camel room for 2 nights during our visit to a rainy florence in March. The place is very close to the main railway station and the close to the main bus stand as well. The major attractions (David, Duomo, Ponte Vecchio) are also 20-30 mins walk away.. ( Max). In fact we explored most of florence... More

We spent three nights at Casa Howard staying in the Hidden room. It's a quirky place that's a great retreat at the end of a day sightseeing round Florence. It's also greatly located for getting to all the major sights as well as the train and bus station...but given its location, it was really quiet for us at night. We... More

this is my second time at Casa Howard in Florence. what i love the most is that each room has different decorations and a different name in line with the "theme" of room... is a perfect place to stay for families, couples or with friends. if you are planning to go to Florence this is an excellent choice!

We stayed here for 3 nights while exploring Florence and the surrounding Tuscan area. We stayed in four different hotels during our Italian journey and this was by far the best hotel. When we asked for recommendations for dining, the staff came through every time. The staff genuinely cared about our experience in their hotel and city....

We had stayed at Rome and had a wonderful time. Florence was as good as Rome! Cool small rooms great location no sense to pay more for a hotel in the city!

Our stay at this "guest house" was the most unpleasant part of our family two week vacation in Italy. Our family of three booked the "Library" for a four night stay. The room was not large enough for three for an extended stay. It should never had been promoted as one. Further the staff was not accommodating. We did request... More

I would definitely recommend Casa Howard in Florance to anyone looking for a city break. The guest house only has 13 or 14 rooms I think, each individually themed. Very clean and very pleasant staff who leave you to enjoy your stay. Highly recommendable.

This Guest House has an excellent location, especially if you come by train only 7 minutes walking. It's very impressive when we saw the apartment downstairs. The young lady came and brought us on the first floor, it's more beautiful the house, especially we have the Hidden room which is a surprise for us the decoration very romantic and quite... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
CASA HOWARD Guest Houses – Rome and Florence The Art of Hospitality. Casa Howard Guest Houses are not hotels. Each Casa Howard is a beautiful private house, in an outstanding location whether an apartment, palazzo or farmhouse, which gives personal service, and where some typically "hotel" ideas, methods and services have been borrowed. With uniquely designed, cosy rooms it’s like staying in a very relaxed, stylish friend’s home – as guests you get the keys of the house, you enjoy the original furniture and objects, you feel the atmosphere of the house. A mix of quality-to-price ratio, uniqueness of location, private home heritage and introduced guests approach deserved Casa Howard many featuring on the international press. Last but not least, CH are now in the bestselling 1000 Places to See before You die !!• A SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE : how different is the feeling of spending some days in a real private house rather than in a public grand hotel, in the top art city of the world! LUXE: we may not define CH a luxury place, rather a true exclusive place (nonetheless we are featured on most of the luxury guidebooks in the world, like the LUXE city book of Grant Thatcher or the LOUIS VUITTON guidebook). Casa Howard (Florence) is located close to Santa Maria Novella, Casa Howard (Rome) close to the Spanish Steps – the ideal spots for accessing the city’s profusion of architectural treasures and shopping! Urban chic close to the action. Suave and surprising, the Casa Howard is located close to the Santa Maria Novella – an ideal spot for accessing the city’s profusion of architectural treasures. This is a Guest House, it is not in the hotel category (e.g. they do not have a concierge, nor do they provide porters etc); it is a private family’s houses partially opened to introduced paying guests. Former guests have a priority booking channel. A mix of quality-to-price ratio, uniqueness of location, private home heritage, and introduced guests approach deserved Casa Howard some awards and many many featuring on international press. It is an intriguing mix of private mansion and hip hotel, providing guest accommodation in stylish apartments. Eco attitude : see down *All the original floors and ceilings have been maintained, there are flourishes of pure silk taffeta at the windows, and many love the chic designer touches such as the occasional black silk sofa, sunken marble bath, full-wall padded bed head, mosaic inlay or 18th century French writing desk. For relaxation after a day’s exploration along the Via Tornabuoni, unwind in the hammam. ... more   less
