Black Sheep B&B was one of the top highlights of my recent trip! First of all, the location canNOT be beat--an easy 5 minute stroll from the train station, then 5-10 minutes from downtown, close to restaurants, piazzas, a post office, and a small grocery store. Everything you need is close and convenient! Our room was great--we had 2 single... More

I found the Black Sheep on the internet and booked a room with them. It was located at an excellent area just minutes walk (literally minutes because you can probably see it from the Florence train station!) from the train station after I arrived with my wife. We lugged our stuffs over and were greeted with a very interesting room.... More

We were a group of three travelers and we stayed in the red room. Like others have commented, the pictures look exactly like the B&B, very modern and very clean! We enjoyed Donatello so much, he was super friendly and just a cool guy. He made a wonderful breakfast with fresh pastries/jam/yogurt/fruit and excellent coffee. The room has a double... More

My wife and I stayed here in May 2011 and loved it!! Definitely one of the coolest places we stayed on our trip to Italy/Greece. Donatello is a super cool dude! Extremely dedicated and helpful in making your stay in Florence the best it can be. Would stay here again and recommend this place to anyone. Thanks again for everything,... More

Conveniently located and easy to find, The Black Sheep surpassed our expectations in comfort, facilities and generous hospitality. Donnatello is friendly, welcoming and gracious host, who makes the best espresso. We found this one of the highlights of our wonderful Italian trip, so full marks to my daughters choice. More

The place looked exactly like in the pictures. We enjoyed our stay, it was very near SMN train station and the city center of Florence. It was practically walking distance to everywhere. It felt like home away from home. The place was well decorated and well kept. Donatello was a nice and friendly host who patiently answered all our questions.... More

Gracious host. Donatello buys fresh pastries and makes a wonderful cappuccino for his guests every morning. He has a desktop for his guests' use which is handy for booking tours and train tickets. There is even Skype if you need to talk to anybody from home. The Gold room is very pretty and there is a bar fridge in the... More

Top notch; for location, cleaniness, decor & service. Absolutely gracious host going way out to make our time enjoyable & worthwhile by offering much advice. Wins hands down when compared to other B&Bs & 4-star hotels. Only advice: Downsize the luggages as the 4 storey-climb is steep.-Tracy More

Stayed 2 nights at Black Sheep. The best part about Black Sheep is.... everything. Located very near to Santa Maria Novella Station and bus station just a steps away, made access to all places very easy. The B&B located at high floor, very quiet eventhough located at the centre. Everything is within reach. B&B newly operated. The owner, Donatello took... More

I was intrigued by the pictures, then amazed by the thought and detail put into the decor on seeing the accomodations in person. So chic, yet also so warm and welcoming! The Silver Suite is very spacious... and provides all the privacy you need. Open the mini bar and find complimentary Prosecco, pour yourself and your partner each a glass,... More
