Before agreeing with the many excellent reviews of B&B Monte Oliveto, I will emphasize that in choosing a place to stay, know what you are wanting. My wife and I both visited Florence before, and had the hotel experience close to the center of town. However, for our honeymoon, we wanted more of an authentic experience, instead of a tourist...

We stayed 5 nights in the wisteria room. Fantastic room with private balcony. The B&B is in a nice, quiet area of Florence and yet it is very easy to get to everything form here. Breakfast was fantastic....crepes, fruit, cake and much more. Marta and Paulo were our hosts for the first couple of days and were absolutely lovely. Very... More

We stayed four nights in the Sage Room. This B & B is a classy yet unpretentious place to stay in Florence. Donatella is a gracious host and I really loved staying here. She was very welcoming and helped us get a good start in Florence. She served a really good breakfast in the morning - loved the coffee, tea... More

We (2 couples) had a fabulous stay here with Donatella and Nicolo. This B&B was a little ways from The Arno river in a quiet residential area of Florence. It was about a 20 minute walk to the Duomo area. Donatella was a super friendly host and provided us lots of information and suggestions on attractions, restaurants etc. in the... More

Monte Oliveto was an amazing spot, just out of the hustle & bustle of the tourist areas, but so close to everything that you would go to Florence to see. Donatella was a very pleasant & helpful hostess. She suggested places to see, restaurants and helped us with reservations for the museum. Breakfast was always a special treat, the herbal... More

Donatella was a great host and we enjoyed staying with her. She was very helpful in recommendations and a wonderful cook. My husband and I stayed in the “La Mansarda” loft, it was very spacious and clean. Sitting down in the huge tug to shower was a new experience, but "when in Rome..." My only tiny complaint was at night... More

After the wedding, my wife and I traveled through Italy. In Florence, we found this wonderful quiet B&B. We stayed in the room, "Wisteria". It is quiet, beautiful and cozy. Donatella, the hostess the house, is pleasant woman with a smile. I still remember with pleasure her awesome breakfasts with herbal tea in the garden.

Monte Oliveto is a bit distance from the city center. However a few bus lines are just one step away, with which i can almost reach all the attractions including train station with one reach. Donatella is a fantastic hostess. Breakfast is always served with big variety. I did not have the feeling of staying in a hotel but rather... More

Good food, great hospitality, and artistic room. The B&B is not at the historical center of Florence, but could reach the major attractions by foot within 20min to half an hour. Yet it's nearer to those fantastic restaurants the locals frequent. Donatella is both a great host and cook, very helpful with all the tourist informations. The room is very... More
