My fiancée and I discovered Althea rooms from a review here on T.A. So glad we decided to stay here - the owner was so helpful, giving us helpful tips and restaurants in the area upon our arrival. It's in a great neighbourhood away from most of the touristy stuff on a quiet side-street. It was only a 10 minute... More

He recomended a lot of nice places to see, shared books/guides for Florence, recomended very good restaurants nearby, shared his mobile phone in case we need his assistance.... More

Santo Spirito is a great neighborhood, and this location is perfect. We saw more locals than turists. Clean and comfortable... A great value. Very close to pitti palace, boboli gardens, and the specola museum- all must sees.

Off the beaten path, but perfectly located, Althea Rooms offers the old world charm and quaint atmosphere I search for when traveling. The modern sounds in this ancient city lull me to sleep as the cool breezes flow through the window, which also offers an excellent view of the neighborhood streets. Were I to come o Florence again, this is... More

After a pleasant 20 minute walk from the train station we were greeted by out host Antonio, who lives in the apartment opposite, calling to us through the window that he would be right with us. This immediately pleased me, as it conjured memories of Italians in films. He showed us to our room, gave us ten minutes to settle,... More

Traditional Santo Spiritu neighbourhood south of the river, near Pitti Palace, in a quieter, residential area. Host Antonio most accommodating. Reasonably priced (for Florence), close to cafes, restaurants, grocery stores. 25-30 steps up inner staircase and tight squeeze into apartment, but a comfortable space with in-room internet & frig. Not B&B... would have appreciated a kettle for tea. Good location... More
