B&B de Biffi

My mother and I stayed for a 3-night city trip in April. And we return home with nothing but good memories. First off, the location is ideal. The B&B is located at only one street from the Duomo, only two blocks from the San Lorenzo, and as Florence is not a large city, it takes you less than 15 minutes to reach the Ponte Vecchio. The reception was very friendly, and the host took his time in showing us on a map where the main attractions, as well as good places to eat were. To return to the airport, it was no problem to ask to arrange a taxi. The room (and, indeed, the entire B&B) was very quiet (which is nice after a long day of sightseeing in busy Florence), and the windows can be blinded to make the room perfectly dark at night. Combined with the nice and firm mattresses, we arose every morning well refreshed. The showers had no shortage of warm water, making sure we were ready to tackle each new day. There is airconditioning, but in April we did not need it. But in summer it sure is useful. Breakfast is ordered from the breakfast lady and served in the room (and if you need to have breakfast outside breakfast hours, the host can direct you to the bar next door). Of special note are the Italian pastries such as chocolate-stuffed croissants and torta della nonna. Last but very much not least, the room had an electric kettle, and a mini fridge. Especially nice if you want to buy some perishable food items to take home and store them in your room. So whether you are in Florence for only a few days or a bit longer, do consider De'Biffi as your place to stay!
