- Florence, Italy
Staying at Tre Gigli feels less like checking into a B&B and more like being welcomed into a Florentine home, where host Fernanda sits you down at the kitchen table with a map, marks out her favourite hidden corners of the city, makes you coffee on arrival, and has stocked the lavishly decorated, vintage-furnished rooms, including the much-loved Sun Room, with thoughtful touches from snack bowls to filtered drinking water, all just five minutes' walk from Santa Maria Novella station.
- Florence, Italy
Tucked away on a quiet side street yet steps from the Duomo, this family-run boutique hotel wins hearts through the warmth of its named staff, Gian Luca, Nenad, Viridiana and others, emerald-green décor, beautifully appointed suites, fluffy towels, and breakfasts served at a Michelin-starred restaurant, all combining to create a stay that feels, as multiple guests put it, less like a hotel and more like a home.
- Florence, Italy
Tucked into the Tuscan hills just fifteen minutes from Florence, this intimate 14th-century villa, with only seven rooms, tastefully furnished with antique pieces, immaculate bathrooms, and a serene saltwater pool, wins repeated devotion through its attentive staff, notably Francesca, Emiliano, and Carolina, who anticipate guests' needs with quiet efficiency, and a breakfast that, though modest in scale, leaves little wanting.
- Florence, Italy
Hotel Kraft achieves a warm, intimate atmosphere through exceptionally attentive staff who know guests by name and remember their preferences, combined with a characterful rooftop breakfast terrace overlooking Florence and comfortable rooms with high ceilings and balconies, though smaller room sizes and occasional maintenance issues prevent it from reaching the highest cosiness tier.
- Florence, Italy
Guests are won over by the warmth of hosts Florence and Olivier, the garden terrace breakfasts made with locally grown produce, the restful pool and well-appointed rooms, and the easy five-minute stroll into the heart of Mont-de-Marsan, all presided over by the much-petted house dog, Griotte.
- Florence, Italy
Housed in a repurposed Florentine palazzo, Hotel Paris charms with its antique frescoes, vaulted and painted ceilings, and spaciously comfortable rooms, some with direct views of the Duomo, while staff who clearly love their city offer warm, knowledgeable recommendations, and the breakfast room, beautiful enough to linger in, keeps hot drinks and pastries on hand throughout the day.
- Florence, Italy
Presided over by the warmly attentive Silvia and Leonardo, this family-owned Florentine villa charms with spacious, light-filled rooms boasting wooden floors and shutters, a cosy breakfast room where fresh-baked buns, real coffee, and a generous spread await each morning, and a peaceful walled courtyard perched above the city, all just a short walk or bus ride from Porta Romana.
- Florence, Italy
Clean, comfortable rooms overlooking a quiet courtyard, a breakfast worth lingering over, a small pool for afternoon respite, and staff whose warmth and attentiveness made even weary families with young children feel perfectly looked after, though early risers should note the breakfast service starts no sooner than seven o'clock.
- Florence, Italy
Presided over by the warm-hearted Marco, Manuela, and Roberto, this family-run Florentine hotel charms with its soaring-ceilinged rooms, step-out balconies, and a reception-bar where barista-made cappuccinos and a generous spread of fresh fruit, pastries, and prosciutto set guests up each morning before the short stroll to the Duomo.
- Florence, Italy
Rossella's spotless, spacious rooms, including a comfortable blue room with an en-suite, are matched by her warmly hospitable welcome and a breakfast table laden with homemade cakes, fresh brioches, and fruit salad, all in a quiet neighbourhood just minutes from a tram into the heart of Florence.
- Florence, Italy
A welcoming, family-run Florentine bolthole where the warm-hearted hosts greet arrivals with coffee, carry luggage up the stairs, and remain just a WhatsApp message away, all within easy walking distance of the Duomo, though travellers should know the building's character is decidedly rustic rather than polished, and the rooms vary considerably in size and comfort.
- Florence, Italy
Warmly staffed and well-placed a short stroll from Santa Maria Novella station, Domus Florentia wins repeat visitors with its elegant, historically flavoured rooms, a breakfast that guests single out as a highlight, and a front-desk team, Enzo among them, whose friendliness makes solo and family travellers alike feel immediately at ease.
- Florence, Italy
A warmly run historical hotel where staff foster a familial atmosphere and attentive service, though the small bathrooms and compact rooms prevent it from achieving the intimate, unhurried comfort of truly cosy quarters.
- Florence, Italy
Hosted with disarming warmth by Marco, who greets every arrival with a hand-marked city map, restaurant tips, and unhurried local knowledge, this unpretentious Florentine B&B in the peaceful San Frediano neighbourhood offers clean, simply furnished rooms, a shared kitchen, and breakfast of coffee and croissants at the café across the road, all within a pleasant twenty-minute walk of the Ponte Vecchio.
- Florence, Italy
A working Tuscan farm where an evening tour takes you through gardens alive with fireflies before settling down to wine, bread, and olive oil pressed on the estate, all framed by sweeping countryside views and a pool that makes the prospect of leaving feel rather unlikely.
- Florence, Italy
Hotel Rapallo offers welcoming personal service, spotless comfortable rooms, and a proper breakfast experience in a quiet park-adjacent setting, but lacks the intimate character details, fireplaces, distinctive décor, warm lighting, natural materials, that would elevate it beyond a well-run, pleasant boutique hotel.
- Florence, Italy
A well-located apartment in a historic Florentine building, praised by most guests for its cleanliness, spacious two-level rooms, and easy self-check-in by code, though at least one visitor encountered serious management missteps, including a late-night hallway dispute and a fridge left with someone else's leftovers, that rather undercut the charm of the setting.
- Florence, Italy
Hotel Roma trades on its prime piazza location and friendly service rather than intimate warmth, with guests praising the convenient position and helpful staff, though mentions of noisy plumbing, weak hairdryers, and street-level views of rough sleepers suggest a functional rather than characterful stay.
