My fiancee and I spent a few days here based on previous reviews during our short trip to Florence and we were not disappointed. We met Martina on arrival and she was both friendly and helpful with regards to attractions within the area. The location of the B&B is just perfect, an easy walk to everything we wanted to see...

Food in florence is quite cheap too anyway, compared to rome and venice. Room and bathroom were very spacious (I requested for modern room cos I do not like... More

Lovely B&B with comfortable, clean & quiet rooms. Location was perfect for us - short walk from the main train station and close enough to city center, yet away from all the crowds. Martina was very helpful with dining recommendations & other info. We would definitely return!

We stayed at Locanda dei Poeti for five nights the week before Easter 2013. We chose it based on price, location and TA reviews. Everything was very clean and nicely decorated; I understand the house was built in the 14th century but it’s completely renovated with modern bathrooms. We had the double and single rooms on the first floor (same... More

This would have got an excellent review except for a couple of things. The neighbourhood can feel a little sketchy late in the evening, and the first night there was no hot water and no one around to address it until the morning. Otherwise the place was great.

Stayed in the Locanda dei Poeti in April, Twin room. That's the only room left when I made the enquiry. So, do book the room as early as possible. The room is very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable bed, quiet and well maintained. The location is great. Near train station, market and walking distance to major attractions. Thanks Martina for the... More

A wonderful little place that is a really easy (maybe 10 minute?) walk to the main (Santa Maria Novella) train station in Florence. Charming place with a kitchen and guest living area where you can help yourself to tea, coffee, and relax. Martina was very helpful in giving us tips on how to get around and made our reservations for... More

Location was great as it was mostly near everywhere. Walkable even to Uffizi museum. Breakfast was a voucher for 2 cafes nearby but with very limited choices and is not fantastic. Service was great as Irene and Martina gave much valuable advice on the attractions in Firenze. Mosquitoes was a real problem as we got a lot of bites and... More

I stayed in this charming B&B for 4 nites, owned by Martina' family. She and her husband Lucca were very nice and friendly and recommended me where to dine and the best place I liked was "All Antico Ristoro Di Cambi". The B&B is small, the room and bathroom as well but comfortable enough for a single person. I had... More

We have been planning a rail trip through Europe for over a year, and we contacted Martina about Locanda dei Poeti, as it is close to the Florence SMN train station. Directions were very easy to follow. We contacted Martina by email two days prior to our arrival to set up a time to meet at the B&B. We booked... More
