My wife and I booked a four night stay in July. We booked a room with access to the terrace. The terrace was definitely the highlight of this hotel. This was a beautiful area to spend time in. Unfortunately the air conditioner in our room did not work, and it was over 90° this day. My wife and I could not sleep the entire evening because it was so hot in our room. Knowing that there are limited rooms in the hotel, and some do not have air conditioning, we were forced to book elsewhere for the remaining three nights. Hotel staff seemed accommodating at the time, and even offered that we would not have to pay for the one evening we did stay. Unfortunately two days later, I realized that this hotel charged me for all four nights. Management was accommodating, and refunded a portion of the money through PayPal. This whole situation seemed very fishy though. I did still get charge for that one night. Overall, it seems like a cute place in the right time of year, but be careful if coming during hot weather. Also, rooms are small, especially the bathroom. I am over 6 feet tall, so this was an issue for me.

Really nicely decorated with lovely furnishings, and the outside terrace was nice too. Very clean and the owners were very friendly. Noisy street but earplugs were provided and it didn’t really bother me. Location was also great-really close to the train station.

First time in Florence

Overall the stay was great. The couple who owns the place are very nice and approachable. The rooms were clean and there was a nice, large open terrace that people could go onto. The room my friend I stayed in opened directly onto the terrace, but unfortunately it was raining when we were there so we couldn't really go out on it. The area is also pretty good. It's the near the train station and the center of the city.

Good location and great host

Fantastic host, charming hotel with 10 rooms or so, rooftop terrace a bonus. Would have been better had I selected a different room, mine was the single room on the first floor under the stairs and with a window on the street. Rooms upstairs had windows to the terrace which might have been quieter. Earplugs were provided, which usually is a sign that there will be noise. However, the location near Santa Maria Novella train station cannot be beat, and everything was clean and comfortable, and the host was so nice.

An oasis in Florence

Fabulous family run boutique hotel. Beautiful elegant room. We had one that opened onto the terrace. What an oasis! Enjoyed my morning coffee there and a great place to relax after a day of sight seeing. Perfect location. Walkable to everywhere! Close to the train station so convenient for day trips. Great restaurants a few doors away. Staff were very helpful. Just loved our 7 day stay and would recommend to anyone visiting florence!

Great hotel, wonderful host.

Amazing host. Lovely hotel. My new favorite hotel in Italy. The hotel itself is located a few minutes from the center (two streets down), it's a pretty hotel that reflects the love that was put in to it. There is a sitting area with a garden above for the guests, it's so peaceful while being away from the noise of the city. What makes this place so great are the hosts, Carmen is a wonderful host and a great person. I arrived early and was checked in instantly. I spent the evening on the patio talking to carmen and other guests. The weather was great, the company was pleasant. It was a memorable night. I would always recommend this place to any guest considering florence, don't hesitate just book. My only advice would be to check the room you get has a private bathroom, there's a couple of rooms with shared bathroom and a couple with private. While I had no issue with the shared bathroom, it was always empty and private but it might be an issue for some. Depending on the time, you might get one or the other.

A nice place for a short stay. Nice decor. Would have been nicer to have had AC in the room. As a lone traveller, I had my concerns about safety before arriving but I felt totally safe there. Unfortunately, the wi-fi happened to not be working for the majority of my stay.

Nice quiet hotel

Nice little hotel off a side street a few blocks north of the SMN train station, close to the Mercato Centrale. Owned by a couple; the wife is American. Rooms are quite spacious, although the bathroom is quite small,no tub, just a shower. The room also had a mini fridge. King bed was actually two twins slapped together, but that was fine. The hotel has a nice patio on the 2nd floor. Immediately after dropping our bags we walked over to the market and bought some bread, wine, cheese, salami, and olive oil, and had ourselves a lovely picnic lunch on the terrace. They offer wine glasses in the rooms and bottle openers on the patio. Hot water in bathroom is anemic at best, and variable. For your shower you'll wait a long time for it to warm up, and during your shower you'll be adjusting it constantly. Eco-conscious, they ask you to set aside glass and plastic for recycling, hang your towels for reuse, and have liquid hand soap so you don't waste bars of hand soap. They have wifi but it's also a little anemic and a bit flakey. A/C available, but €10 extra per night, cash. Free earplugs, but it's a pretty quiet area so you may not need them. Needs another small trash bin in the room, not just the bathroom. No elevator, so if you have heavy bags, consider this. Don’t forget the sneaky city tourist tax must be paid in cash.

Great "home" base

What a great place to stay! Carmel and Pino were so helpful with all the questions, requests, etc that I had. It was close to walk to everything I wanted to see in Florence - and to the train station for everything outside the city - and yet felt like a neighborhood - safe and friendly. As a single traveler it was nice to be able to meet and talk to others on the hotel's terrace at the end of the day and compare experiences; being able to pick up bread, wine, cheese, etc at the grocery store and keep them in the fridge there allowed the opportunity to feel like it was my "home away from home". I would highly recommend staying here...

Cute, home-like hotel

My husband and I liked this hotel, but some things about our experience could have been better. We were on our honeymoon and we got the room right in the lobby and against the street. Noisy, and little privacy. So we weren't always totally comfortable. But the bed was comfortable, and we had everything we needed.

Truly A Gem

Great walkable location - 5 mins. from the train station, 10 min. to Duomo, 15 mins. to Ponte Vecchio. Right in the heart of everything, but on a fairly quiet street a little removed from the constant hustle and bustle of ever more crowded Firenze. The owners and operators are two of the nicest people you will ever meet in the hotel business -- friendly, helpful, and with just the right amount of professionalism mixed in. They went waaaaaay out of the way to help me out in a difficult situation while I was in Firenze, and I'll never forget it. The hotel is completely charming, and Oh! The Terrace is a lovely oasis in the middle of the city. It's sunny and bright up there with lemon and orange trees, a fabulous 20 year old cat, and a long table to have your breakfast/lunch/snack on under an awning. Couldn't be nice. I write very few STRONG recommendations, but I have no qualms in giving Il Bargellino a total two thumbs up Hip Hip Hooray.

Good place for the money

Owners Carmel and her husband were very accommodating, helped us up and down the stairs with our luggage, and even chilled some bubbly for us in their refrigerator. (A refrigerator is provided in the room, but there's a note that lets you know it's to keep already chilled items cold and thus will not chill things down for you). The room was spacious but the bathroom was tiny, as is common with these older buildings. Also common in this area (but unusual for us) is that the toilet is in the same space as the shower, which takes some getting used to. There was some dust in the closet area near the baseboards, but Carmel was quick to take care of it when we brought it to her attention. There were some questionable marks on the wall near the headboard, but the sheets seemed clean. They provided an extra towel and pillow upon request, and those seemed clean as well. The bed was a little hard for me, but it wasn't terrible (I'm just accustomed to my Tempur-pedic). The place is conveniently located with the train station nearby (but not too close), several great restaurants on the same street, and the city center only 10-15 minutes away. There is also a lovely terrace that all guests are welcome to use, but you'll need to book directly with them if you want to request a room that opens onto the terrace. Overall, a decent place to stay for the money. If you need more amenities or luxury, expect to pay quite a bit more somewhere else.

Overall Good Experience

My daughter and I stayed for 2 nights. The owner was very hospitable, as his wife was traveling in the US. He made sure we had everything we needed. The hotel is older in a classic Italian style with high ceilings and marble floors and steps. I enjoyed the upper terrace for relaxing and having wine one evening. The hotel itself was very quiet , but a lot of street noise coming in during the night through our bedroom window. Enjoyed the fact that I could make coffee in the room each morning. We felt very safe there..

Return to Florence and the Il Bargellino

We love Pino but were sorry to miss Carmelo who was back in the states. We were close to the market, restaurants, train, and bus. It's a good place to establish a base of operations. We stayed here 7 years ago and ended up in the same room. We shared a toilet and shower, but that was not a problem...specially at the price per night! They now have espresso machines in the rooms and light pastries for breakfast snack.

Fantastic Hotel for a City Break in Florence

The hotel was fantastic, located within easy walking distance (10-15 mins) of most major sights in Florence. I chose this hotel for my first solo trip and first time in Florence and was not disappointed. I stayed in a single room and from previous reviews I was aware it was shared bathrooms so it was a huge bonus when i found that my room had a private shower. The room was much more spacious than I was expecting and the owners were really friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The decor is really nice and gives a unique feel to this lovely hotel. I will definitely choose here next time I'm in Florence! Thankyou for a fantastic stay!
