This is a residence, not a full-service hotel — reception runs roughly 8am–1pm, and a smart check-in code lets you come and go after hours. No restaurant, no spa, no pool, no lift; expect stairs and a building that wears its 500 years honestly. Breakfast is in the garden or living room, with an honesty bar the rest of the time. Rooms vary wildly — street-facing ones catch some traffic noise, garden-facing ones are serene. It sits in a ZTL restricted-traffic zone, so no car access to the door.

Nearest international airport
Florence Airport, Amerigo Vespucci / Peretola (FLR) — small and central; Pisa (PSA) is the budget-flight alternative about 1.5 hours away.
Distance from airport
~6 km / 4 miles (FLR) | 85 km / 50 miles (PSA / Pisa)
Journey time
15–20 minutes by taxi from FLR Airport. The hotel sits in a ZTL restricted-traffic zone, so there’s no car access to the door — the taxi drops nearby, then a short walk with bags.

Let’s be clear up front: there’s no restaurant here, and that’s by design. What you get is a generous homemade breakfast — pastries, eggs, bread, fresh fruit — served 8–10:30am in the fire-lit living room or out in the garden under the aged medlar tree. The rest of the day, the living room’s honesty bar runs on trust: pour your own wine, spirits, tea or coffee. For dinner you step outside, which is the whole point — this is the Oltrarno, where the locals actually eat. Santo Spirito’s trattorias and wine bars are minutes away, and a couple of rooms even have a kitchenette if you’d rather stay in.
