We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sani Tourist House. The rooms were perfect, location excellent, and the owner very kind and helpful. We would definitely be back to this b&b, more so because it is in such a lovely city.

We stayed at the Sani Tourist House at the end of June. Remo (the owner) offered us an apartment just across the hallway from the B&B for our family of four. It was a great space for us! It had two bedrooms (one with queen bed and one with two twins), two bathrooms, small kitchen area and an eating/living area. It was wonderful to be able to spread out in a large space. The windows in the eating/living space looked out on the duomo and I enjoyed listening to the bells chiming.

The B&B is located right next to Dante's House on a little side street but very close to the main square of Florence so it was easily within walking distance of all the major attractions. The place is a little hard to find because there is just a small sign by a nondescript door, but if you call Remo he'll help.

When you check in Remo will walk through the apartment explaining where everything is and how everything works. I had not read my information very well and was surprised when he said we needed to give him a cash deposit of 150 euros. That was my fault though because it was stated on the form. It was returned when we checked out (after a very quick room check).

All in all, this is a great place but I would give you two warnings. First, we didn't pay the extra 10 euros/night for airconditioning and we really wish we had. Even in June it was hot but we couldn't leave the windows open due to street noise. Even with the windows closed we slept with earplugs though I suspect that thin windows and lots of street noise are a problem anywhere near central Florence.

No breakfast was provided in the apartment but we went to a close by market and picked up things for the meal. That was actually nice because then we could eat whenever it worked for us.

While in Florence be sure to walk to Piazzale Michelangelo for beautiful views of the city! Well worth the trek.

would go back in a heartbeat, very easy to find. go down the side of lush, its the little square on the left, easy, we went strait to it no problem. our romm was lovley with nice comfy beds. mr sani couldnt do enough for us, he is a gentelman. the breakfast was served just down the road, and was lovley. we will be going back to florence in october and will stay here again.

Can't understand negative reviews. We stayed one night (2 couples) May 2 and although had a hard time finding the place the owner was very helpful when we called him. Unit located right above Dante's residence square and we could look out of window as walking tours passed the site. Beautiful giant private door to historical building and both our units were very clean and well cared for, with amazing views. Voucher provided for an amazing breakfast. If you want to be right in the middle of Florence, close to Piazza della Repubblica, this is the place. Wished we could have stayed longer.
