Meet with an Italian kiss on both cheeks by Grazilla started our stay off to a wonderful feel of home. Grazilla went out of her way to make our stay in her home and in Florence a memorable one. Grazilla made our reservations for Uffizi Gallery and Academia in advance of our trip, however due to a delay traveling by... More

Panella's was perfect. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast is delicious and served in the most precious room that used to be the carriage house of this old home built in the 1500s. It is a 5 minute or less walk to many of the biggest sites (Duomo, Accademia) and is also set outside the chaos of the... More

We just spent 5 days at this lovely residence after having spent some time in Rome.....It was small and charming...and located literally 2 blocks from the Duomo and of course all the shopping Florence has to offer....We are traveling thru Italy and this was a very welcome and low key respite from all the touring and travel.It is priced very...

After doing a lot of searching on where to stay in Florence traveling alone to visit my son who was studying abroad, I decided on Panella's residence. I won't reiterate what others have said in their reviews, except to say this exceeded my expectations. From Garziella and Guiseppe's hospitality to their help with museum reservations, it was like being hosted... More

I meant to write this back in September as this place deserves an Excellent review. Graziella is so sweet...she made us feel like we were part of her family for the 3-4 days we stayed with her. She showed us incredible hospitality, her cafe was great and her restaurant recommendations were amazing (one was Zio Gi Gi's (sp??) where the... More

The b&b is a short cab ride from the train station and situated in what was once a nunnery. Upon entering, we were given a... More

Graziella and Panella's made our stay in Florence a memorable and comfortable experience. The location was perfect, close to the Doumo and many historical sites...We recommend Panella's to all who want convenience and incredible hospitality. We will fondly remember our stay at Panella's and Graziella's warmth and graciousness. More

The pictures online don't do this b&b justice. Our room was huge, and lovely with big shuttered windows, a fireplace and decorated with antiques. Our bathroom was huge as well. Everything was immaculately clean. Graziella is very efficient and a good contact online. She always got right back to me and was willing to help with whatever I needed. She... More

We stayed at Panellas for 6 days while visitng our daughter who is studying abroad in Florence. It was located on a quiet street central to our daughter's apt near Santa Croce and close to the Duomo. It was SPOTLESS! Just ask and she'll get you excellent dinner reservations, tickets to museums (so you can bypass all those long lines)... More
