What can’t we say about this place. Michel and cinzia are just the perfect hosts.
Nothing is too much trouble and they keep at a discreet distance - there just when you need them.
This was by far our favorite stay in Italy. A gorgeous room and lovely breakfast each morning were appreciated. Cappuccino machine with round the clock access! Super location. Michel, his son Matthew and Leo were warm and charming and insured the service was stellar. Loved our stay!
This boutique B&B is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, with a great bed, air con and modern bathroom. Michel was a lovely host, offering a map on arrival, useful information and great restaurant recommendations. Lovely breakfast with quality produce and excellent coffee. The availability of drinks in the communal area at all times was a real bonus. Ideally located in a quiet part of Florence but easy walking distance to all main sites.
My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The hotel is beautiful and very well situated - slightly away from the hustle and bustle of tourist areas but also easily within reach of them. We were made to feel extremely welcome (by 'Matthew') and the fantastic advice about places to go and things to see, and the overall service was second to none. Staying here feels like a truly unique experience and one that will stand out from many others for years to come!
We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was so perfect! The location is incredible, on a quiet street and walking distance to everything we wanted to do while in Florence. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the room was so comfortable!
Struttura elegante e dalle stanze affrescate. Cortesia massima alla ricezione degli ospiti colazione buona e ottima pulizia delle stanze. CONSIGLIATO!!!
Our room was disappointing. The impression was all the rooms have murals on the ceiling. Ours did not. The pics also show light airy rooms, ours was dark brown and a little depressing and cramped. The lighting inside was terrible. You couldn't see to unpack and the lighting in the bathroom was even worse. It had heat lamps only which when putting on makeup made you swear and had a horrible glare. I told my husband i hoped it looked good because I had no way of knowing for sure. With no other mirrors in the room. The worst hotel lighting ever experienced. Pillows were so,bad we had to ask for extra for any support and there wasnt a top sheet on the bed only a comforter. This made for a very hot night as the air conditioner did not work or was preset that we couldn't lower at all. Breakfast
Selections were minimal and due to the same options every day we chose to eat elsewhere on day 3. I was beyond disappointed. The reviews were so good but this stay fell way short. I would not return or recommend.
Completely unique property but homely hotel with red crushed velvet walls, antique mirror and fresco ceiling in living/breakfast room. Access to tea, coffee and fruit whenever. Bedroom was large, clean and ensuite was a glorious marble affair. Breakfast was made freshly by the owner Michel and was divine
Charming historic family apartment in Florence within walking distance of all the major sites and an excellent restaurant. The hosts are welcoming and very helpful. Beautiful fresh fruit, coffee and tea are available at any time. Rooms are enormous with great frescoes on the ceilings.
This is amazing place to stay only a 5 minute walk from all the best tourist sites! It’s family owned and they are all so welcoming and helpful! We got lots of great tips on things to do and places to eat from them! I would come back to stay here in a heartbeat... the place is spotless and like a home away from home!
A beautiful place to stay in a quiet part of town, but just a few blocks from the city attractions. Owners were very inviting and helpful with the parking of our car for a few days. We would definitely recommend 1865 Residenza D'epoca to anyone visiting Florence!
This 5 room boutique hotel is located a short distance (5 minute walk) outside the manic Florence 'tourist zone'. Filling the entire 4th floor of a historic building, every area has been redone and decorated by one of Florence's finest architects. Rooms are large, both modern and historic ( wake up to a ceiling fresco), and artfully decorated. The breakfast room/common area is also impeccable, with 24 hour Illy espresso and wonderful dessert wine plus biscotti. The breakfast is prepared fresh each morning by the fantastic family who runs the hotel. They were great hosts and helped immensely with recommendations on what to see, where to eat, side trips, and any arrangements we needed. If you want an impersonal, tourist hotel experience then please look elsewhere. But if you value true hospitality and design this is a great little spot.
We stayed for two nights and really enjoyed the room, which was tastefully decorated and the bathroom was elegantly luxurious! We were welcomed very warmly at check-in and Michel and his son were keen to share local tips and recommendations with us. It really felt like we were given privileged access to Florence outside of the tourist attractions, so we had a chance at tasting a sample of authentic Florence.
After a long flight and taxi ride to 1865 Residenza, we were warmly greeted by Michel, who was so accommodating and gracious. The room was perfect; overlooking the garden, in a beautiful setting. The breakfast/common area was beautiful as well, with everything a visitor could want. The facility was quiet, very clean, beautifully decorated, extremely modern, and ideally located in Florence. Cinzia was marvelous in her hospitality; make sure to ask her the history of the B&B, it is fascinating!
It was even better than I had
expected after reading revues and the article in "Guardian". I would anvise this place who is looking for a special place to stay in Florence.
Stayed for two night in Feb and got lucky with not just the weather but also our hotel choice.
On arrival we were given a great welcome and some ideas on both where to eat and also some ideas for our visit.
The hotel is around 10 minute walk from most major attractions, so really well located, breakfast is good with all fresh food from the local markets.
Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back.
