Boutique B&B Torre De' Conti

Francesca & Frederico have created a truly lovely B&B. If you like to be incredibly close to all the best that Florence has to offer yet beautifully cosy in a gorgeous Italian period property then this is for you. Take the 20min T2 tram from airport to Unita (the end of the line) for just €1.70 pp and walk about 5mins up the road toward the Duomo and it’s just on the LHS behind Starbucks. It’s beautiful. There’s a very tiny lift that takes you to the 2nd floor. You can see and walk to the Duomo in about 2 mins, the Uffizi in about 15 and amble across the Ponte Vecchio for great sunsets and the Pitti Palace. I rate this property at least 7 stars out of 5. We stayed in ‘Simonetta’ room. It was very generous size for 2 with tall ceilings, en suite, AC and great ceiling fan. We stayed 3 nights and popped back in afternoons post city exploration and pre dinner. We could’ve stayed a month. Thank you F&F for a great long weekend

Wonderful property with amazing staff. Great location. Would stay here again for sure

Beautiful boutique hotel very close to Duomo and train station. It is exceptionally clean. It is a very busy area till 11pm at night. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights. The b and b is located on the 3rd floor with an elevator that barely fits 1 person plus luggage. Just know if you can’t climb steps the lift is very very small. You need to use what’s app to communicate to owners for breakfast options. First night we returned to no large bath towels for the morning and owners are not there past the afternoon. We told the owner that hand towels were left but no bath towels. He said they did not have clean ones but tomorrow we will have bath towels. Breakfast is okay! It is served within 8-10am and the first day we explained we had a tour we had to leave for 8am and he agreed to serve at 7:45am but it seemed as if it was a bother. We have stayed at many many air bnbs and it seems as if you are bother more than they want to help you! Yes it’s clean and close to things but we didn’t feel as comfortable as we should have in staying at their place! It’s a beautiful view but you are a business make people feel welcome and relaxed!

Federico and Francesca were the most amazing hosts! They allowed us to check in early and checkout late. They gave lots of recommendations and were very attentive. The shower in the room was wonderful. We would love to stay here again!

If you want a US style hotel, with a giant lobby, extensive breakfast buffett, a big elevator, etc. this is not for you. It does have a Starbucks below it if that helps you though. If you are looking for a quaint, well appointed, perfectly located (and I mean perfectly located), family run, quiet, bed and breakfast definitely give it a reservation. Location is close to Duomo, station, shopping, tonnes of restaurants, and museums. Room has everything you need, good space, comfortable bed, and despite being on a busy road almost no noise. We stayed in the "Berta" room had a nice view. Hosts are not there all the time, but communications are fine, just think ahead and they'll sort out everything. We (wife, nine year old and I) really enjoyed our stay.

It is good to see family owned businesses, as they went out of their way to ensure you were satisfied. They even put together their own booklet pointing out attractions and eateries they recommended.

Highly recommend this place. Convenient location to everything. The owners are very accommodating as well.

Staff were wonderful. Hotel was nice and clean. Very small elevator :-) In the heart of Florence. Great breakfast . I recommend that hotel

We feel lucky to have picked such a great place for our amazing stay in Florence. We stayed here for nine nights. The location is absolutely perfect. It's about a 3 minute walk to the Duomo and 10 minutes to the train station. San Lorenzo is about 5 minutes away and the river is about a 10 minute walk. We walked everywhere in Florence and took a cab only once. The B&B is on the second (third to Americans) floor of an old but restored building. It has a small elevator. The B&B is only about six rooms, and one of your hosts, Federico and Francesca, is there every day, and are always available via phone or text. Rooms are tidied, trash is emptied, and beds are made by a housekeeper daily. The rooms are all different and each is named after a notable Florentine woman. We stayed in Simonetta, which is a large double in the corner of the building. We deliberately chose the larger room due to the length of our stay and the larger bathroom -- but for a night or two, one of the smaller rooms would have been fine. Fortunately, photos of each room and square footage information is clearly included on the website, so you can make an informed choice. The bed in our room was huge -- it was two twins together made up as a king, which was as large or larger than an American king. The bed was made up American-style with a top sheet (at least for us). The bed was very comfortable and not mushy like a lot of hotel beds. We also had a large walk in area with a two drawer dresser and a closet with a shelf above next to the large bathroom. There was plenty of space, even for a long stay. Breakfast is served to you in the breakfast room based on choices you send in the afternoon prior by dropping off a form (see photo) or sending a text. The breakfast is not an American-style breakfast with eggs and bacon, but an Italian style breakfast, and everything was fresh and well-prepared. In addition to coffees and drinks, there are croissants and breads, cereals, fruit, yogurt, meats like ham and salami, and cheeses. It's plenty of food of high quality. It took us a couple of days to figure out how not to order too much. Try the daily cake! Although the B&B is adjacent to a major street, they have done some terrific soundproofing, because the room was very quiet with the windows closed. In addition to being available for questions, Federico and Francesca also provide a useful book of places to see and eat. We had an amazing dinner of Florentine steak at one of the recommended restaurants. Federico also went out of his way to answer any questions and resolve any small issues we encountered. If you want an impersonal, large, full-service hotel, that's where you should go, but we didn't go to Italy to stay in a Marriott! We couldn't have asked for a better location, a more comfortable room with lots of local character, or kinder hosts. When we are in Florence again, we'll be back.
