If you want a hotel with an elevator and a concierge don't stay here. If you want an authentic centuries old Florentine experience in the heart of everything yet quiet and peaceful then this is the place for you. We stayed here with another couple from Australia and had the best time - the staff were friendly and genuinely helped... More

This B&B is well-located in the centre of Firenza, in a very old building. You are only minutes away from from lots of very interesting things. But remember, there is no elevator and you have to rise two floors with your luggage before you reach the service-desk and your room. The rooms are clean and comfortable and you can use... More

This is one of the most difficult reviews I have done, especially in light of other reviews of this property. What I think it boils down to is that as long as you understad exactly what you are buying, you will not be as disappointed as we were. First, the hotel is ideally located within walking distance of the Duomo,... More

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Casa Rovai. Elisa and Anna are very kind and nice, and made our stay a friendly one. Their advices on hidden and nice places were amazing, including restaurants for "local" people. We didn't felt being tourists! We loved very much our room (Passione) and its remarkable frescoes: an original of the sixteenth century!! A... More

This is a great place centrally located. I felt like a resident more than a tourist. The rooms are beautiful, and large for Europe. Nice clean bathrooms, lovely breakfast. The water machine was my favorite! Would go back again in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Rovai in Dec/Jan. The location, between the Duomo and Santa Croce is very good --- we could walk everywhere. We had a nice room and bathroom. Elisa, our hostess, was warm and very helpful in recommending and making reservations at restaurants which were generally good and very Italian. She also booked an enjoyable day... More

I thought this was going to be an amazing place to stay. It wasn't. The room and location were OK, however, we were met with a horrible stench as soon as we entered the building. This was not noticeable in the rooms, but smelled it when we went in and out. The bed was not at all comfortable and incredibly... More

Casa Rovai is a very clean and comfortable B&B centrally located in Florence. Anna was wonderful suggesting restaurants and booking reservations for exhibits and tours. She is a delight! We were surprised that it is 38 steps up to the B&B, especially as accessibility had been part of our B&B screening process. First floor in Europe is NOT street level.... More
