My mother (83 yrs young) and I just returned from a week in Italy. We stayed at residenza casanuova while in Florence and it was perfect for us. Beatrice was welcoming and accommodating and the rooms are spotless. The location makes it easy to walk to all the main sights and museums but is quiet in the evenings. There is an elevator available so my mother did not have to climb stairs to reach the residenza.

My husband and I stayed at the Residenza last year and have decided that this is where we will stay on all our trips to Florence.

If you want a good hotel standard, with a personal touch, this is the place for you. About 10 minutes walk from the Duomo through interesting streets and squares, this hotel is situated in a quiet residential area.
Beatrice and Max, the owners, were very attentive and helpful. The rooms are light and airy and stocked with complimentary tea, coffee, soft drinks and beers, very welcome after a day sight seeing! There is a terrace overlooking the area which is a perfect location for winding down. The hotel itself is full of family history and artifacts stretching over several generations.

My wife and I chose the Residenza Casnuova after considerable research and we were not disappointed with our choice. While a little tricky to find at first owing to some re-construction going on in the area, it turned out to be much closer to the downtown area than we thought and the walk was through some great areas that we otherwise might have missed. The breakfast was excellent and our hosts could not be more helpful. We took their excellent advice and got a private tour through the Uffizi with an art historian and that was probably the highlight of our visit. You will probably find a few places nicer and much for expensive and a lot of places worse for the same price or more. We also really appreciated the refrigerator in room and their policy of NOT charging you for drinking the items from it. A first on any of our trips anywhere. I hope it catches on.
The only down side was a funky smell that we believe was coming from the outside work on the facade of the building, but we can hardly blame them for that.
All in all a great choice while in Florence.

Returned as promised for the 4th time, remains excellent even better than last time if that can be possible.

This is the perfect B and B for couples, would be perfect for the honeymoon

Please read our previous reviews.

Thanks again Bea and Max we will return
