Florence is a favorite city of our family of six sons, four of whom (plus a friend) joined us this Christmas at Residenza Il Villino, a hotel we are thrilled to have discovered. We have visited Florence many times and have stayed in the same hotel for years, but we knew upon our entry into the elegant hallway leading us... more

We enjoyed Residenza il Villino for the following reasons: 1) Hospitable service 2) decent location 3) good value. We had a huge suite that we enjoyed very much! Quiet place! We stayed for a few nights while in Florence, and it was a wonderful part of our experience. The drawbacks....there wasnt much, but for the sake of being balanced....1) the... more

Not because it was glitzy with perks, but because it was classic Florentine residence with huge rooms decorated in the typical style of the area, with a good breakfast made by the fabulous owners who were helpful and so nice. The location is central to everything - even walked... more

We were welcomed by Lorenzo, the son of owners Sergio and Elisabetta, with a warm and friendly smile. The B&B is very cozy, with only 10... more

My wife and I spent a week in Florence and this was the perfect place for us. We had one of the upper rooms with a duomo view. The room was spacious (and the bathroom was large), very clean and indeed there was a nice view. Sergio and his wife and son were fabulous hosts. Breakfast was always very pleasant,... more
