We stayed there one night in January, and it was nothing short of perfect. The room was charming, located in a typical old florentine building where they have kept the charm of the past times, yet modernised all the facilities, which are top standard.
Rooms exquisitely furnished.

The location could not be better, as you are in the very middle of Florence as soon as you go out the door.
The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and all contributed to making our stay in Florence fabulous.

Stayed 5 nights in early December and the suite (Lorenzo with kitchenette and overlooking the Piazza della Signoria and the Palazzo Vecchio) was fabulous and excellent value with a separate room for our son who was travelling with us and a separate kitchen/dining area for the breakfast served in the room and to prepare snacks sourced from nearby markets. The location is unbeatable and the service warm and personal. You will need to ask Marcello about some of the fruits of his other love from the farm in the hills surrounding Florence where he keeps the traditions of his family alive growing and processing olives to make an array of pure and simple products. Florence was a delight and the Casa Del Garbo a truly wonderful part of the experience.

We spent a week in the Gemma which is a double deluxe room, directly overlooking the square. It is a large, well appointed room with free wi-fi and an equally large bathroom. This was our first trip to Florence and we could not have chosen a better place, or location to stay, being right in the heart of the historic centre. There is far too much to see and do in one week, so we chose carefully and will hopefully go back again. Being out of season we did not have to book prior to going anywhere, nor did we queue. There was a public holiday while we were there and we got a taste of what the queues might be like in season. If you are a pensioner be sure to ask if there are entrance discounts, some are completely free, except that is, for the churches and the Duomo! We could not fault the staff at La Casa, they were all very friendly and breakfast was excellent. Although firm, we did not find the bed uncomfortable. Our only concern was that some nights when the Pub next door turned out at two and three in the morning, the patrons were very noisy, choosing to loiter while laughing and shouting. It was the only down side of this lovely location. You could of course opt for a room off the square, but then you will forgo the interesting daytime vista. The police could have done more by moving them on, but they didn't seem to be much in evidence, or even concerned. It was not a show stopper for us, just an annoyance. We ate a lot on the south side of the river, we found it cheaper, better quality and less crowded than the main centre. One such is Trattoria da Ginone (they are reviewed here), great food, great value, nice people, but be sure to book in advance.

My husband and I were on our Eurotrip for the summer. We had already been to Barcelona and Venice, so this would be our third destination. I had done some research on tripadvisor on which places to stay and I was intent on staying at a B&B, but only at a reasonable price. It was a pleasant surprise when I found this place but I was still skeptical since it seemed too good to be true. Once we got there, I was pleased to see the nice space for our B&B. The room was much bigger than I expected, there was a nice dining area and kitchen, and it was just what we had asked for. The windows are so big and it overlooks the Palazzo Vecchio. One night, my husband and I were even able to enjoy an outdoor concert!! It was just so beautiful-the music, the large windows that allow so much light and air, and the large space. If we ever go back to Firenze, we will definitely be staying here again!
