My wife and I met Germano at the train station and he gave us a ride to the rooms. He and Cristina were very nice and very helpful. She provided us with a map and showed us how to get to all the interesting places. The room was much bigger than expected and the bathroom was big by U.S. standards.... More

It is cheap to stay here, and the location is ok, everything you want to see in Florence is walkable. The breakfast is ok. But the decent things end there. The main problems we had was the grumpy, mean and unfriendly attitude of Germain. He was ok up until we paid for all the nights we stayed. Christina at least... More

So the key thing is that Cristina and her family live at the hotel--the reception is their living room. You pretty much get your room to stay in.

Cristina House was able to offer us a quadruple family room with an en-suite shower room. The room was large and airy, with a large family sized shower room. the room was very clean, with fresh linen... More

We too met Germano at the train station. Cristina House had a positive review in Lonely Planet, so we decided to go with it. What a mistake!!! He drove us to their house, helping me carry the bags upstairs. Cristina was very nice and the room was great. Then, we paid for four nights. That’s when things changed. The breakfast... More

We arrived in Florence, by train, unable to book accommodation prior due to all the internet cafes being closed in Sorrento. We were approached by a man (Germain) who offered some accommodation at his B&B. We (4 of us) were a bit sceptical but took him up on the offer to have a look. When we arrived we were met... More
