Fantastic B&B! Very nice owners and in a great location. Very affordable as well. Breakfast included from 7:30-9:30 which is a great deal but would wish for it to be extended a bit longer.

Amazing B&B in Florence
Our stay was amazing! We felt well taken care of and the property was very flexible with our check in time. The location is very central allowing us to easily walk everywhere in Florence. Our room was very spacious and comfortable and exactly what we needed for our 3 night stay. Breakfast was good too!

The owner of the B&B was extremely helpful with directions. Breakfast was a buffet of delicious treats. The hotel was centrally located near all museums and walkable to the train station or the bus stop to the train station. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here!

This B&B is in a perfect location for walking around Florence. You are near enough to most of the famous sights and there are many good eating places nearby. Luciano, the proprietor, had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.

The hotel is at the center of everything, extremely convenient. Room is spacious and exactly like the pictures. It is amazing to know the building is 800 years old, which makes us feel so special about our experience.
The breakfast is awesome. We loved the place and will come back again.

My husband and I had a delightful stay at Locanda Orchidea. Luciano runs a great B&B. The rooms were spotless and we enjoyed the daily breakfasts. Luciano was flexible in check-in since we arrived late and he was very helpful in providing logistical information. The B&B was in a very convenient location. I would recommend this B&B to anyone visiting Florence.

At first, we had a hard time finding it because it is in the pedestrian zone, so we go stopped off by a cab a short distance away.
Once inside, everything was wonderful. Rooms were nice sized, beds comfortable, the host helpful. Breakfast was excellent!
It is easily walkable to every thing we wanted.
The only bit of trouble was not finding a taxi on the day we left, a Sunday, so we had to bump our suitcases along to a piazza with a taxi stand in order to make our way to the train station, but we can’t fault our host for that!

There was no breakfast offered there although advertised as Bed &breakfast - Expedia you are breaking the rules as stating B&B when there is none.
That said there was a kitchen with a microwave you can use so I just bought stuff from the shop a few doors down - and a kettle with teas coffee in my room.
Owners are lovely - only around in the morning to clean.
Great location - 10 minute walk from station - follow the map they send you rather than google map it. All other main attraction 5-10 minute walk.
There was a noisy bar outside my room and noise went on till around 2am - they do provide earplugs in the room.
An excellent place - I marked it down as clearly state’s breakfast when there was none and the noise from the bar - I would however definitely stay there again

The location is perfect, and the tiny hotel is perfect too, lovely spacious rooms, well-appointed and with excellent bathrooms. All the charms of an old historic building but every modern convenience as well. And the staff could not be more helpful and kind. My family stayed here in 1996, and we loved it then, but it has been very much upgraded since then. I would never think of staying anywhere else in Florence.
