Yes, it is up 4 flights of stairs, but it is worth it! And those stairs will help put you in shape for climbing up the Duomo bell tower to see the view of Florence from above. Gabriella at the Il Bargello couldn't be a better hostess. She was always there to help with touring, finding restaurants and helping with... More

Not only is Il Bargello B&B a fantastic location, but it was surprisingly one of the quietest rooms of our stay in Italy! This was definitely not what we expected, but we were very pleased. Lynn and Gabriella were fantastic hosts and very hospitable. Both are originally from North America so they understand what you are looking for and are... More

Good points - location - price - rooftop terrace - clean - good size room - common lounge area (with computer available) - staff made future reservations for sites - comfortable mattress + good sheets Bad points - limited breakfast offerings when compared to our other 4 B&B's we stayed at during trip (one also in Florence) - had to...

We have just spent 2 days and nights at Il Bargello and it came as billed. The 77 steps with suitcases are somewhat of a challenge....the additional 18 steps to rooftop patio and view of the Duomo, makes it all worthwhile. The accommodations are spartan and the rooms are pretty tight. Breakfast is simple and basic. But what can you... More

We stayed here for five nights in April, and we enjoyed it very much. O.K., first the stipulations. It is a bit of a hike up the stairs, but we only did it once a day on most days. I understand that the street facing rooms are a bit noisy on some evenings (weekend revelers), although our room wasn't. The... More

Fantastic location and a wonderful oasis from Firenze's tourist hordes. Gabriella makes you feel right at home; comfy communal areas--kitchen, sitting room and marvelous rooftop terrace--are for guests to enjoy. You can make yourself a cup of tea at any hour and relax with a glass of wine on the roof, literally a stone's throw from the amazing Bargello museum.... More

We spent three night at Il Bargello last week. Where to start?! The location is FABULOUS- a short walk to the Uffizi, Piazza Della Signoria and the Ponte Vecchio bridge to name a few. Gabriella was fantastic about making recommendations for dinner- we had the best food of our trip in Florence. She even helped us book our online train... More

My only complaint is the hike up to your room. We had seven flights of stairs.. and I was not prepared. Next time, I will remember to wear a backpack and not carry luggage. The room served it's purpose. The terrace was a great place to relax and take in the ambiance of the city. The breakfast was very good.... More

We were in Italy for Thanksgiving 2012. We stayed in Venice, Florence and Rome. This was the best place we stayed at by far. Super clean. FAST and FREE wireless Internet!! Yeah, I know. Leave the work at home but it was great because I was able to upload our photos to DropBox for safety while in Florence. Internet sucked... More
