This was my first visit to Florence and I am thankful to have chosen Abatjour.
The building itself is located just a short walk or bus ride from the central train station but away from the crowds of the central city. There are local restos and caffe bars minutes from here. Though the train runs behind the building, the windows are doubled up so you barely hear them. For those who enjoy the fresh air overnight instead of turning on the air, just bring earplugs.
The rooms are all individually laid out with their own personality but all have a desk on which you will find your breakfast tray filled with water, a choice of teas and coffee, and packaged italian pastry and biscuits to begin your day. The private bath has a small shower and all your basic necessities.
You'll find some bicycles inside the entrance which you can rent from them. The 'front desk' is located in the salon area up a flight of stairs, with a backdrop of books, a large comfortable couch, and the most helpful of staff.
Paolo, the Owner, is the perfect 'guide' - he asked my interests and pointed me in the directions he thought I would enjoy most, and he was spot-on. He is very knowledgeable about the city and surrounding area(s), and treats his guests with individual care.
This eco-friendly B & B is the perfect location for those looking for a comfortable, homey place to lay their head.
