This is a bit of delayed review - I stayed at Casa di Barbano in December 2011. Moraq, the owner, was a great hostess, friendly but unobtrusive. The lodging is in the ground floor of a residential building. The room we stayed in had a private bathroom in the bedroom (much like a regular hotel room). Overall a great stay... More

We spent two nights in Florence in early Feb. The price was a great value. The B&B is located a short walk from the train station (Santa Maria Novello) and bus depot, less than 10 min. Moraq gave us excellent directions. Moraq was there to greet us and get us settled, and gave us a map and marked out the... More

I think this is probably one of the best deals you can get in Florence for such a price. The location is perfect, very close to the train station, the Academy, and at a walking distance from the rest of the city. If this is your first time in Europe, do not be deceived by the entrance, which communicates with... More

This is our second stay at the Casa Di Barbano B&B. Two years ago my wife and I had such a wonderful experience that we decided to stay here again when bringing our two college age boys to Florence. Moraq is such a wonderful host. You won't find a better or more helpful B&B owner anywhere. She goes out of... More

Moraq was a great host who helped as much as she could while we were there. She booked our visit to the Uffizi and also recommended a few sights while we were in Florence. This accommodation provided good service, however there was a few things out of her control, which I would take into consideration before staying again. Pros: Breakfast... More

Great little place to stay in Florence. The host was so lovely and gave us a map when we arrived and showed us where to go and what to do. Nice traditional Italian rooms which were clean and comfortable. Good Italian breakfast brought to your room in the morning. Walking distance to all the main sights. Really good value place... More

When I arrived Florence with huge luggage and find the hotel, the host told me there is no room for me anymore. But I booked the room at least 3 month ago!! And no SMS, no calls before to inform me. Then she took me to a "3 star" hotel to let me stay there. The hotel is not cheap,... More

We stayed at Casa di Barbano as part of our honeymoon and we had two wonderful days. The owner was very friendly and always happy to share her knowledge of the area. Nothing was too much trouble and her recommendations always turned out to be great. The location in the heart of the city allowed us to walk everywhere. Unfortunately... More

Location is within a short walking distance of the Santa Maria Novella train station ( connection from Milan Central ) and the SITA bus depot (day trips to other Tuscan cities). Florence is not that large therefore most places of interest to a tourist are nearby. Our room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delivered to our room... More
