My husband and I stayed in Florence for 3 nights, and the location of this B&B was absolutely the best! 10 minute walk from the train, and close to everything. It was very easy to get to, get in with lots of luggage, and everyone was very helpful. The rooms were large and clean, and the breakfast had lots of choices and options. Alessandro was great and recommended a private wine tour from Chianti Inside Out, and it was indeed one of the highlights of our trip. Florence was beautiful, and we will definitely go back ... and when we do, we will stay here again.

Location (once we actually found the hotel) was excellent. Staff was very helpful and breakfast was good, though a bit later than it was supposed to be. The one drawback was the cleanliness, or lack thereof. We are rather picky about that, but it made it harder to relax in a room that had stains on the bedspread and bathroom floors that weren't clean. If they can get that problem corrected, they will have a perfect set-up for travelers who want to be close to the sights of Florence.

Location is amazing. The frig is always stocked and breakfast is served in beautiful china. The limited check-in hours made things a bit tricky to coordinate but happy with the place overall.

Nos ha encantado. Si las fotos de internet nos gustaron, al llegar alli el hotel todavia nos gustó más. Es un palacio rehabilitado, con mucho encanto y muy buen gusto. La localización es inmejorable, a escasos 20 metros del Baptisterio. Sin duda volveremos.

We stayed in the room "Oduardo Borrani" and a my mother in law stayed in the room "Salvatore Lega". The rooms are definitely very big and spacious and as shown on the website. The location is unbeatable for the price, easy to find right next to the Gucci on Via Roma. The only thing that could be improved upon is that the cleaning lady needs to do a better, more thorough job as there are many nooks and crannies that are untouched and quite dirty (i.e. the toothbrush cup which had a layer of mold and dirt inside). It would also be nice if they didn't lock up the kitchen so that people who decide to bring some food home to eat can have access to some cutlery. All in all, a wonderful stay in Florence.

We stayed at Il Salotto for 3 nights and Alessandro was very helpful and friendly and welcomed us with a much needed cup of tea. It was reassuring to have someone at the reception who had a good grasp of English and was able to answer a lot of our queries. Very convenient location. Our only suggestion would be to provide fresh or tinned fruit at breakfast. We brought our own.

You couldn't ask for a better hotel or guesthouse for this price at such a great location in Florence! The door to the hotel is right by the cathedral square. Our room was spacious, modern and clean with a coded safe, and the bathroom was spotless and had a large powerful shower. The staff were very friendly and knowledgable, spoke good English, and were able to help with all of our enquiries. Would definitely stay there again, and have recommended it to friends.

Bed & Breakfast ottimo. In posizione perfetta per visitare Firenze, vicino alla stazione e a tutti i momumenti e i musei più importanti. Inoltre si trova nella zona "shopping" della città. La nostra camera era curata nei dettagli e pulita, dotata di tv lcd con sky, cassaforte e un piccolo asciugacapelli; era molto silenziosa anche se dobbiamo dire che essendo attaccata al Duomo al mattino si sentivano le campane. La colazione non è particolarmente abbondante ma completa. I gestori gentili e a disposizione per ogni informazione. Assolutamente consigliato.

Il Salotto di Firenze was awesome. It is well located. We were able to walk to the Duomo in 1 minute, Accedemia Museum (David Statue)in about 7 minutes, Train station 7 minutes, Well lets just say all the attractions were under a 15 minutes walk away. The room was the biggest of the 3 rooms we stayed at while in Italy. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. It is priced well, very comfortable and clean, the staff is very friendly, great location, nice breakfast.... what more can you ask for!! I would recommend taking The best of Tuscany tour. It is a day trip to Sienna, San Grig., and Pisa. You eat lunch on a Tuscan farm with the most beautiful views of the countryside...and you can't pass up the photo op with the leaning tower of Pisa. Also, for great view of Florence take bus 21 ($1 EU) or walk to piazza Michelangelo at dusk. It is a huge hill with a great view of the entire city..and its free! Even if your not a huge art buff, you must see the statue of David it was a "Wow" moment! Me an my fiance visited in mid march, it is less populated and the weather was nice...Chilly, but not too much! one other thing, we actually found a Mexican food restaurant there (Tijuanas) ... i know what you are thinking...But after eating Italian for several days straight, it good to be able to throw something else in the mix. Trust me, you will soon find out and be looking for it.

All I have to say is "wow". I encourage absolutely anyone and everyone to try and get a room here if you are staying in Florence. My wife and I stayed in B&Bs of comparable price range throughout our two and a half weeks in Italy, and this B&B was head and shoulders above the (also highly rated) rest. For the price, you will not find better! I wish we would have stayed longer. Although we loved it, we have a couple suggestions to make the B&B even better (I'm guessing the owner, Alessandro, checks user reviews): 1) Provide access to pots, pans, and dishes after reception closes; my wife and I would have cooked more in your impressive kitchen. 2) The toilet could use some minor adjustments to make it flush the first time you pull the lever. Ok, so I guess that is it! Thanks Alessandro for a great stay!

Ich war nun schon das 2. Mal im "salotto di Firenze" und werde beim nächsten Florenz Aufenthalt wieder dort buchen. Der Besitzer Alessandro ist sehr gastfreundlich und zuvorkommend, der Empfang sehr herzlich. Man fühlt sich einfach wohl. Die Lage des B&B ist unschlagbar. Direkt im Zentrum, um die Ecke ist der Dom. Durch die Fußgängerzone, via Roma, kann es lauter werden. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber und in sehr gepflegtem Zustand.

The place is great and new. The location is excellent. The owner is extremely helpful. The location indication could improve a bit for there are two number 6 on the same street! It might be better to indicate that the entrance of the B&B is next to the Gucci shop on Via Roma and it is on the 1st floor. I’d recommend this place for travelers to Florence.

Considering all things, this was my favorite stay during a recent 3 week vacation in various cities in Italy. Traveling as a single woman alone, I felt very safe at this hotel, and stayed a week here. The room (Diego Martelli) was spacious and clean. I also liked that it was a small property (6 rooms), and felt almost family-like. Because of it's size, may not work well for families with children. Most impressive was the management skills of Alessandro Mignolli, the manager of this hotel. He was approachable, accessable, and very helpful - and I had a LOT of questions!. The hotel was in a key location, near shopping and the Duomo. Drawbacks? Since it is a prime location in a busy area, it is a bit noisy. Even rooms off the main street tend to be noisy in the evenings, but earplugs worked well. Also, if you are on a budget, I found Leonardo's Self Service Cafeteria (on Via Pecori 5, right around the corner) to be a great value. Had several meals there, good, fresh, basic food for less than 10 euros/meal, and the people-watching is great! I cannot wait to return to Italy and stay again at Il Salotto di Firenze!

Allesandro was great - really friendly and helpful! Could not have had a nicer stay in Florence. A welcoming host does make a real difference in the overall pleasure of the visit! The rooms were clean and nicely furnished, the bathrooms were spotless and the location was about as central possible and was very safe. Alessando's restaurant recommendation, Coquinarius, was outstanding.

This was the best place we stayed in all of Italy. Alessandro is an excellent host, knowledgeable about the area, and very helpful and available to his guests. He even directed us to a good ol' American laundromat. I would stay here anyday and have already recommended it to my friends. The location was fantastic.

The only negative was that there was construction going on in the apartment above so we were awakened early every morning with tremendous noise. Alessandro explained the situation and apologized for it; still, that did not eliminate the frustration.

Alessandro was great but there isn,t anyone from the hotel working after 1:00P.M. This might not even bother most people. Location was great, very centrally located in the middle of Florence. Would have liked the towels changed after staying for 6 days. All this said, we loved it there and Alessandro is very, very nice and he does work hard at being very accommodating to make your stay a pleasant one. I would stay there again!

The hotel is managed by Alessandro who is both helpful and friendly. I stayed in a single room to the back of the hotel. It was nicely furnished, although the back faced a noisy alley where buses were parked. There was noise in the morning coming from the common dining room where breakfast. The hotel was located in a historical area and within walking distance to the train station.

This was so awesome. Alessandro, the B&B owner, was very friendly and helpful. The B&B is brand new, the rooms were very spacious and clean. So was the bathroom. The location was incredible, on the corner of the Duomo and a block away from Piazza deglia Republica. I would definately return and highly recommend this B&B.

This was our best stay on our entire trip in Italy. The bed and breakast is so close to all the sites, we walked everywhere. Alessandro is so nice and willing to make reservations and recommendations for you. OUr room was beautiful. It was very large compared to other hotels or bed and breakfasts we have stayed at. The bathroom was large for Italy standards as well. I would stay here again and strongly recommend it to anyone. The price is so reasonable as well.

The Bed and Breakfast Il Salotto di Firenze was great. The location was great and security of the place was top notch. I spent many days/hours looking for the best place to stay while keeping in mind price, location, AC, prior guest remarks, and comforts included. Alessandro who owns and runs this great place is wonderful. He will help you with anything and everything. He is young and loves what he does. We were there three days and felt we were leaving a friend behind when we left.His mom makes a great breakfast cake. When I go back to Florence, I will not waste time and book this from the start. Please do yourself a favor and stay here and enjoy Florence. Thank me later.

I can not imagine a better place to stay in Firenze. Alessendro went above and beyond my expectations and this place will no doubt soon become well known as an extremely affordable and enticing place to stay. I have travelled many places and I have never experienced such amazing accommodations for such a low price. The single drawback is that it is right next to the Duomo, and therefore noisy, but that's the price you pay for such impeccable downtown real estate!

The Il Salotto di Firenze was hard to find, but once found, the search was rewarded. The staff walked us from the office to the room and answered all questions. They were very helpful throughout our stay. The room was in a great location, priced well, very clean and comfortable and extremely quiet - after a full day of touring this was important. The highest compliment is the willingness to recommend the property and to stay there again. We loved our stay at Il Salotto di Firenze.

This hotel was cheap and extremely beautiful compared to other places we payed a lot more for. The rooms were gorgeously decorated (traditional Tuscan wall effect) and very clean, not to mention the large clean bathroom! Alessandro, our host was very welcoming even though we arrived late and rather wet from the rain. We did have a bit of drama locating No 6 in the pouring rain with luggage at night and on foot, so it may be a good idea to advise clients exactly where the entrance is. The location was fantastic! Right in the middle of everything and not a problem with noise at night time either. All in all, we loved our stay in Florence and out of 10 other accommodations in Italy during our trip, this was by far the best. We'd have no hesitation in recommending the Bed & Breakfast Il Salotto di Firenze to anyone (although it would be nice to keep it a secret!)

Besonders gefallen hat mir die familiäre Atmosphäre. Die beiden jungen Männer, die das Salotto betreuen, sind sehr hilfsbereit. So durfte ich z.B., da mein Zug erst spät abends ging, mein Gepäck noch unterstellen und sogar die Karte mit dem Eingangscode behalten, so dass ich untertags z.B. die Toilette benutzen konnte. Das Salotto ist sehr zentral gelegen, wirklich angenehm, wenn man sich zwischen zwei Besichtigungspunkten kurz im eigenen Raum ausruhen kann. Auffallend ist die geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Gleich wenn man die Unterkunft mit dem schönen, heimeligen Parkettboden betritt, fühlt man sich wie zu Hause. Mein Einzelzimmer ging auf den Hinterhof hinaus, daher war es auch nicht besonders laut. Geringfügige Störung wegen der im Hof liegenden Garage, außerdem ein etwas eigenartiger, typischer Hinterhofgeruch, dies war jedoch nicht erheblich. Da mein Urlaub Ende Oktober war, hatte ich das Fenster ohnehin meist geschlossen. Ich würde die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

We travelled in Italy for a month and this was the best place we stayed at. We had the room with the terrace overlooking Via Roma for six nights. Alessandro, who runs the B&B is very friendly and helpful in making your stay a pleasant experience. Located in a beautiful green and beige building in the historical centre, the interior of the B&B is nearly new. Our room also had an excellent bathroom - an important feature on any holiday! Outside, the Duomo is literally about 50 metres away! In the morning Alessandro will make you a coffee in the excellent breakfast room and happily engage in conversation with you. If there's a better place to stay in Florence we would be surprised. Highly recommended!

The security system in the B&B is impressive; there is an elevator to the 2nd floor; the decor is elegant and Alessandro is wonderful! He knows all about the city and will help make your stay in Florence truly memorable. We would definitely recommend this B&B and will stay there again when we return to Florence!

This place is a treasure! Alessandro is living proof that Florence's genius doesn't only exist in the past. His hospitality is unmatched! From the moment we arrived we were welcome, we were treated like friends and family, oriented, advised, & offered a refreshment. Every detail was in place. Immaculately clean. The furnishings, bathroom fixtures, lighting,environmental technologies, local magazine and books in the room, books and guides in the breakfast room available to borrow, use of the internet, great conversations, Alessandro's colleague Marco terrific with his advice and great conversations, & location, location, location. There was so much offered, it was such a pleasure and very sad to leave behind.

Absolutamente maravilloso. Es el mejor b&b en el que he estado, y desde luego mucho mejor que bastantes hoteles de 4****.Todo es estupendo, la situación, al lado del Duomo, las habitaciones son preciosas, tal y como aparecen en la web, todo decorado con un gusto exquisito y absolutamente nuevo (está abierto desde enero de este año). Un detalle, la habitación tiene nevera minibar,con precios totalmente normales, una botellas de agua 0,8 €, una coca cola, creo que eran 1,2€, hasta benjamines de spumante que no pasaban de los 2 €. Y es que Alesandro, el dueño, hace lo imposible por que te sientas como en casa. Si vais a florencia, no dudeis en alojaros aqui.

Excellent service, excellent location, excellent room! Alessandro was superb with his english and his hospitality was outstanding. The rooms were decorated with taste and with a lot of care. Nothing was spared to make this B&B the closest to a 5* hotel room. The location - right next to the famous duomo and centre of Florence. Short walking distance to everything. Gorgeous, ancient style wooden doors decorate the entrance. We rode up the lift to the 2nd floor and were greated by Alessandro who was more than welcoming despite our late arrival. The room was a welcome delight after our miserable stay in Rome (3 Coins Trevi Fountain). The room was fragranced with lavendar and decorated very tastefully and I loved what they did with the walls to give this 3D splashing effect. Alessandro's partner was sloppy and not as astute as the young, passionate business man. Make sure not to arrive on a Sunday / Monday when mot galleries / museums in Florence is closed!

The owner Alessandro is extremely helpful and knowlegeble with regard to tourist information. He even helped us to download our photos and to inform our Rome B&B of our arrival time. The Trattorial which he recommended is excellent too. Try it! The room we occupied is spacious although kind of noisy as it face the main traffic. But it cause no disturbance to our sleep. We suggest to include information on how to locate the establishment, i.e it is just above Gucci shop round the corner from Duomo, as we had hard time finding the No. 6 unit. Like to add that the hot croissont and freshly brewed cuppucinno perks up our morning. Of all the Italy B&Bs and hotels which we stayed for our trip, we enjoyed Il Salotto di Firenze the most. Location is wonderful too, imagine Duomo is just at your doorstep. Room is extremely clearn and brand new, as we understand that the establishment is only 8 months old. Strongly recommended. Nowhere beats Il Salloto!

An absolute gem of a place, my advice would be to stop looking and book here now, you will not find anything nearly as good for the price. Amazing location, an easy 10 minute walk from the station and literally on the corner of the Piazza del Duomo. Surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops and central for all sites which are at most a 15 minute walk. The facilities are fantastic, beautifully decorated with everything you would expect from a 4 star - air-con, satellite lcd tv, mini-bar (cheap!), etc. A special mention for the owner Alessandro, I've never had a welcome or been so well treated on any previous stay anywhere and he was a huge help to us when we left our passports in our previous accommodation, translating for us and arranging delivery of them to our next hotel. If I stay in Florence again I won't bother looking anywhere else.

Der Empfang durch den Besitzer, Alessandro, war sehr herzlich, er stand auch jederzeit zur Verfügung. Die Atmosphäre war sehr warmherzig und man fühlte sich willkommen. Die Zimmer sind nicht zu klein und bieten ausreichend Stauraum und Ablageflächen und sogar eine kleine Sitzecke. Angenehm überraschten uns auch die niedrigen Preise der Minibar, die in den meisten Hotels doch recht hoch sind. Die Einrichtung, sowohl das Zimmer als auch der Frückstücksraum, ist sehr charmant. Die Lage war nicht zu überbieten, direkt um die Ecke befand sich der Dom. Durch die zentrale Lage natürlich etwas lauter, aber in einer Fußgängerzone, so kein Verkehrslärm. Wir werden den nächsten Aufenthalt in Florenz bestimmt wieder dort verbringen.

Ok,i will try to keep this short! I want to begin my saying Thank you to the owner and host of Il Salotto di Firenze,Alessandro. He was the nicest person in all of Italy, that we met. He greeted us very warmly and immediately offered us something to drink. He was very helpful as we asked him about places to see,eat and as we are a young married couple we wanted to know where the nightlife is in Florence and he pointed out some great spots. We also were very interested in going to Chianti for the day and taking a wine tour. We asked him if he knew anything about it and he was more then helpful he went and looked up some information and presented us with various Wine Tour selections to choose from. We told him which one we liked and he took care of the booking and talked to them asked them for specifications we had and totally just made our trip very easy. Which was just very much needed. And the wine Tour was amazing. Now about the B & B itself...we loved it! It was so comfortable and just very well decorated and you can tell that every little detail was very well thought of. It was very clean too. The breakfast was very good and very well presented in a very charming breakfast & common room. The location was very nice. The building was next to the Duomo and you know its a beautiful location when your surrounded by Gucci, Tiffany & co. and other beautiful stores. We visited other cities in Italy as well as France and Spain but we had the best time in Florence and mostly had to do with what a pleasant time we had and this B & B and how helpful and nice Alessandro is!We definately and most highly recommend this B & B.The price for what you get is also excellent. Charming place,great service,clean and comfortable...what else can you ask for?!?!

My wife and I arrived seperately and got the same great treatment from Alisandro (sorry if I spelled your name wrong). He was kind and welcoming and immediately offered us a cool drink , which was much appreciated after our long,and hot journey. The location of the B & B, the rooms (they are even better than the pictures suggest)and the service were all fantastic. I would not just recommend Il Salotto di Firenze, but insist on others staying there.

We came by car, and had some difficulties to find the B&B, because there is no signs. But the recepcionist rang us, and met us. It is actually forbidden to drive and park in ths streets around. So its only for a short stop to load and unload. We were recommended a parking company only 5 min to walk, and they came with the car whenever you need your car. It costs Euro 40 pr night, but its safe. Good restaurant nearby, La Grotta. We had a really nice stay, and I will really recommend this B&B.

Our first time in Florence was memorable in part by our stay at Il Salotto. Staff (Alessandro & Guido) was just great in providing us excellent service, referrals to some local spots were certainly credible, Overall, it is a VERY NICE B&B right in the heart of a beautiful city. Working with Alessandro for a surprise wedding anniversary ceremony is greatly appreciated. Highly recommended place to stay!!!*****

This is the best kept secret in Florence! Il Salotto di Firenze is on Via Roma just steps away from the Baptistry and Duomo in a completely renovated building. An absolutely fabulous location! You get a key card to the secured building and the B&B. There is an elevator or stairs. The B&B itself is only a few months old and has amazing finishes and details. I'm an interior designer and I wish I could find someone in the USA to apply the same finish to client's walls that the "Salotto" walls are finished in. New hardwood floors throughout,high ceilings, tasteful furniture and bathrooms and a magnificent Murano glass chandelier in an eggplant color in the breakfast room. FREE internet access in ALL rooms and flat screen TVs! Alessandro is the young, bi-lingual entreprenurial owner who is on the premises from 7AM to 7PM most days of the week. He does everything he can to make you welcome and make your stay in Florence a great one. Besides that he is interesting, intelligent and knowledgeable and just SO nice. It is a little noisy on the street but this is a big city and it's just as noisy at the four star hotel one block away. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone. In fact, I was scheduled to stay three separate times in Florence for a couple of days each over the course of a month in three different places but cancelled the other two to stay at "my home away from home" which is just how I came to feel about Il Salotto and Allesandro.

We really enjoyed the central location. We could reach most locations within 5-10 minute walk. The room and bathroom was more than adequate. Noise only became a factor because of some rowdy and boisterous young folks walking outside at night. Our host was very friendly, helpful and personable. We would definitely stay there again.
