La Residenza del Proconsolo must be the best bed and breakfast I have ever had the good fortune of visiting. The only negative is the flight of stairs necessary to climb once entering the building. Otherwise, it was fantastic. Mariano not only helped us carry our bags upstairs, but he was a great help coordinating our stay. When my wife... more

We stayed here in August 2009 and were very happy with our stay. Our room had a wrought-iron balcony with a million-dollar view of the Duomo. The room was quite large, with high ceilings, and was very charming. They bring breakfast to your room at the time you request. The owner was very nice and helpful -- he even made... more

We booked into this pensione after reading reviews here. We are very disappointed and would never return to this place again. On the 18th July we arrived at La Residenza Del Proconsolo and were given a room on the first floor with balcony. It was the not the room we were promised with a view of the main cathedral. On... more

We had one night in Florence, and were given an excellent room overlooking the Cathedral. Everything from the welcome to the standard of the room was perfect. Be aware that this is more of a Guest House than a hotel - no evening staff or bar for example, and that the breakfast is a continental breakfast served in the room... more

My husband and I traveled for 3 weeks throughout Europe, and this was by far our favorite hotel. We arrived very late (11pm), but they made arrangements to check us in. The room was lovely. Large. Very romantic. Very Italy. Each morning, a wonderful breakfast was served in the room. Best location in Florence. I have nothing but great things... more

We stayed at La Residenza in March 2008. Words cannot describe how much I adored this hotel!! After our tiny room in Rome, I felt like I could run laps in this giant suite. I think I actually gasped when we walked in!! The room was HUGE with a sitting area, closet for clothes, and big king sized bed. The... more

My husband and I stayed here in Sept 07. The central location was fantastic. We walked from the train station, which took about 30 mins - but don't be put off, I was dawdling as I admired the amazing shops, architecture, pizza etc. We could walk everywhere from here, come back for a short rest before heading out again. Robert... more

I booked this hotel for our Honeymoon and we had a 2 night stay. The location is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. We paid for a deluxe room which is well worth the money as the room we had ovelooked the Duomo. Breakfast is served in you room which is fine. It is not the finest hotel but... more

I booked directly with the property and Roberto (the owner) was always available beforehand for my questions and advice on Florence. Before arriving, we changed dates and then later changed rooms when we learned that the Brunelleschi room has a small balcony. Both times, they were very accommodating, quick to respond, and friendly in doing so. Upon arrival, Roberto greeted... more
