The minuses are that the B&B is at the top of a steep set of stairs and getting into the shower requires some dexterity. The pluses are the great location, the firm bed, and the romantic room. The hosts directions to museums and recommendations for restaurants were reliable. We also enjoyed the breakfasts served at the cafe across the street.... more

My wife and I had a wonderful stay! The bed and breakfast was about 4 long blocks from the central part of Florence. This was both a good thing, in that it was away from the touristy section of town, and a bad thing, in that each night ended with a little longer walk. However, it was in the student... more

Accademia House is a bed and breakfast located a short walk from Piazza San Marco, and the Accademia (which houses the David by Michelangelo) but in a more residential, less touristic area. It consists of three or four large rooms in an old (16th Century) building on the first floor. There is no elevator but Marcos Viti the Innkeeper made... more

Accademia House consists of a first-floor apartment, in an traditional Florence-style street-side block. It is located just 10 minutes walk from the centre of Florence. On arrival via taxi from the station, we found a single ground-floor door with a push-button intercom, with Accademia House labelled against one of the buttons. There was no other distinguishing sign to confirm we... more

We found the location of Accademia House to be great--a short walk to San Marco and the Accademia, and not a long walk to get anywhere else. At the same time, we loved being on a small, quiet street. We enjoyed the simplicity and good taste of the furnishings in our large airy room. And Marco was very helpful in... more

The room was very clean with all the amenities I could need. Marco was the treasure within. I had traveled alone and was somewhat apprehensive about this first time vist. I do not speak Italian and did not know anyone here...I was being a gutsy female. Also, i was staying for a couple of weeks. Marco was very very helpful.... more

LOVED Academic House! It was recommended to my husband and I by a colleague, and it was a true gift! Location is great (withing walking distance to all major sites), rooms are incredible (spacious with air conditioning and own bathroom), and host was full of invaluable recommendations for food and activities. All this at a VERY affordable price! more

Marco, the coolest host in the whole of Italy :-) My wife and I stayed at this place for three nights and it was great. It is more than just a short walk from the main train station and with a heavy suitcase i would recommend hiring a cab from the station. [ 7 Euro ]. The room was spotlessly... more

Imagine that you are planning to spend several days in Florence. You would prefer to stay somewhere that gives you a feel for the city, and where you will feel that you are not just another anonymous tourist passing through a big hotel. If you pay attention to the numerous rave reviews of Accademia House, you will find exactly the... more
