orenzo, the owner, is extremely helpful and friendly and always available to answer any questions! The rooms are spacious and clean with a very modern interior, and the location of the B&B is ideal - you can walk everywhere. The only small thing is that there is some traffic noise from the street, but not so much as to be... More

We had a fantastic time here. Lara and Lorenzo are really great hosts. They made us wonderful coffee in the morning and set out a very nice breakfast buffet. Lara also told us about good places to go and about the shopping in the local area. We went during the off season. Bathrooms are shared. Most of the time we... More

I stayed here over New Years period with my 2 adult sons. We had a large room with 3 comfortable beds. Place was spotless. Shared toilet/bathroom was also spotlessly clean. Breakfast was typical breads, cakes, cereal yogurts etc. fresh ground coffee was great. Lorenzo and Lara could not have been more helpful. They even got us parking tickets for car... More

We stayed for three nights in September and really appreciated the AC.

They provided lots of maps with suggestions, even printing out a schedule of hours for all the museums in Florence! They also make lovely cappuccinos... More

My daughter and I stayed at Il Grillo for 4 nights in late July/early August 2012. I cannot say enough to endorse the hospitality of the hosts and the comfort of the facilities. The crowds in Firenze cultural sites were heavy and at times trying, but it was easy to remain centered because we knew we would be returning at... More

Lara, the owner, was a really great hostess who provided us with directions and a vast knowledge of Florence which was far superior to our guidebooks we packed! The B & B... More
