We thorougly enjoyed our stay in the apartments of this family-run establishment. It is lovingly furnished down to every detail. Very neat and clean. Convenient, just a couple of streets from the train station, and walking distance to the touristic sights. The reception was always staffed, even when we left to catch an early morning plane. We felt very well... More

The Hotel Continessa is truly a home away from home. Over the years I have stayed in Florence more than 15 times. When I travel I am on a constant search for the “perfect hotel”, clean, great location, family owned, good beds and a reasonable price. Three years ago after dinner at a charming family restaurant (Enzo and Piero) at... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in late October. The hotel is mini-apartment style, so one bed was in a loft area and on the second floor were the kitchen, and sitting area but the washroom was in the lower area by the front door. The kitchen does cost extra to use, so we did not use it at all.... More

I stayed in Residence La Contessina in May,2011 and had a very nice experience. The location is very convenient, walking distance from the main attractions. The apartment has 3 floors: one with the bathroom, one with a nice living room and another with beds (my room had 1 double bed and 1 single bed). There is also space to park... More

This is a family hotel and it feels it. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. They have apartments so they are great for famlies or a group of friends. Breakfast was everything you needed to start your day and much more than the hotel in Rome. It is close to the train station, walking distance. Hint: taxies are expensive.... More

Their staff are very friendly and helpful. They helped us to make reservations for Uffizi and it makes it super easy to get in. The "apartment" or a room within a 3 bedroom apartment we have for the trip was very clean. The breakfast was ok, we only went down for breakfast the first morning, it wasn't much of our... More

This was a great experience. Spacious clean apartment style hotel, bed and breakfast style. Great location. Good home-made food, as well as bought from the best places in Florence...this is great especially in comparison to other Italian places. They stay very Italian as well as try to accomodate for tourists. Fantastic for families. Sound travels so don't plan to be... More

The responsiveness, friendliness and competance of the owners and staff of La Contessina was exceptional. They went out of their way to help me solve my non-functioning CPAP. The breakfasts were healthy, tasty and beautifully presented. The location is perfect with walking access to all of the sites. We really appreciated the uniqueness of this botique hotel. We will stay... More

This is a very convenient place to stay if you are arriving or departing by train. It is a short couple of blocks from the main train station (Santa Maria Novella) and easy walking distance to anywhere you want to go in Florence. The accommodations have several things going for them. It is very spacious compared to your normal hotel... More
