B&B Alla Corte dei Medici

Loved that it had an outside terrace, we used it every day for evening drinks. The breakfast was sensational and the staff absolutely wonderful

Nothing. Note we had carry on bags only, so those with large suitcases may struggle on the stairs…but the stairs were part of the charm of this place.

The room and B&B is charming. A taste of 19th century Florence. Our room had lovely big windows opening into the outside street. Hosts are incredibly helpful and the breakfast was great. Access was very easy and it is a short walk to the train station.

As everyone has mentioned, you need to be aware of the steep stairs, so heavy luggage could be an issue.

Sweet hosts and lovely, romantic setting! Near train station and neighborhood was quiet at night when we were there. Breakfast was wonderful and they prepped it early so we could catch our train!

Only thing, the entry is a tall, narrow stairwell to the 2rd floor.

The breakfast was accessed just a few doors down the street. It was up many steep stone stairs (maybe 24?) and might not suit an older person. The hosts were nice, and the coffee was good. Scrambled eggs were made to order and there was a selection of fruit and pastries. The strawberries were the best I had ever tasted. Breakfast was the best bit. There was also a hob in your room, and a few appliances; kettle etc.

The apartment was very old (authentic?). Possibly traditional, but definitely not modernised. It was a bit like an Air B&B. You got a code to access the keys and didn't deal with a real person on check-in. They asked you to send photos of your passports and leave the 'tourist tax' on the table when you left. The TV didn't switch on (remote control possibly needing batteries) and the lighting needed repaired. There was a bit of a smell of drains from the bathroom. It was ok for an odd night, but probably not for the faint-hearted.
