Olga's House was a great. Roberto who runs the B&B is very nice and helpful. We loved the location--Piazza Signoria. It was clean and quiet. Just be know that there is no elevator and there are 80 steps up to Olga's House.....so you can eat gelato everyday! :) This might be cumbersome for some. I would recommend it and definitely... More

Ciao Roberto! This was my second trip to Olga's house and I am so pleased I returned. Roberto was helpful and friendly, welcoming us to this gem of a b&b. Comfact, comfortable and extremely modern, it is the location that makes this hotel an absolutely brilliant place to stay in my favourite city in the world. Literally a stone's throw... More

I spent the last 3 days in April in Florence and stayed at Olga's. Read all the reviews before booking. Yes, the room was small, the curfew is at 11 pm and cable TV was like 7 Italian stations and MTV (so no CNN or BBC). But, the room suited by needs. The location is just off the Piazza della... More

Greeted very badly and rudely for arriving at the wrong time I nearly walked out. On the plus side, the place is very central and it's clean and roomy, very close to the heart of the city and all the attractions. Moreover despite this it is not noisy, it is possible to shut the noise and buzz out and get... More

Dear Miss Helen, we are of the simple opinion that maybe for your young age you still have to read with little more attention before book and confirm a reservation. You made it trought a famous web travel agency and for sure only after a selection you decide to stay with us. Before confirm the reservation you are clearly informed... More

This B&B is in a very central location near the major attractions in Florence, as well as walking distance to/from SMN train station. There is also an active nightlife and great shopping, all within walking distance. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Bathrooms are a big deal for me and the ensuite bathrooms here exceeded my expectations. The owner... More

A localização é perfeita. O quarto é pequeno mas prático, clean e confortável. O único agravante são os lances de escada: embora seja terceito andar equivale ao sexto.. com muitas malas não é mole não... O dono muito simpático e pode confiar nas dicas de restaurante dele. É oferecido um vouchercafé , capuccino e croissant, deliciosos num Café super bacana.... More

My daughters (who are in their twenties) and I stayed in Olga's House on the last night of an 8-day stay in Tuscany. We were delighted with our choice of accommodation. Roberto's friendliness and the crisp clean modern decor more than made up for the flights of stairs! Roberto made sure our taxi was booked for our departure early next... More

We stayed here for 4 nigts over Easter weekend, having found it on the internet. Any concerns we had about booking somewhere unknown were allayed the minute we got to the guest house and were met, promptly, by Roberto, who looked after us very well indeed. Olga's House is the perfect location for walking around Florence, literally 3 minutes walk... More

Almost like living by someone private. 80 steps up from the streets, but ok for not-disabled people. And - yes - the owner lives there himself and prioritize security with advanced keys etc. - but ok - you feel .... safe. No traffic in the streets except from some cleaning-cars. Go 50m. and sit down in a cafe at the... More
