At Il Marzocco, in October 2010, we were well taken care of. The bed was very comfortable and it was quiet. Nice, clean modern bathroom. Breakfast was a buffet of cheese, bread, pastries, yogurt, apparently typical. Bonus--the hostess made us cappuccino every day. Marco made reservations for us at museums and restaurants and advised us about where to go. Most... More

I stayed in il marzocco for a few days and was very impressed by interior design and by hospitality of the hosts: Marco and Federika. Within 10 mintutes they adviced me on the places to see, to eat, routes to go, and I followed their suggestions and was very happy to see not only major places but also hidden city... More

Upon booking confirmation, Marco sent me loAds of information on Florence and also answered to my many questions via email also immediately. Was really impressed by Frederica, the very friendly hostess, who recommended us places to visit and to have our meals. Love the ice cream place which she recommended, vivo li, best gelato tasted so far. The B&B is... More

B&Bs require an entirely different scale when reviewing them. By definition B&Bs do not have all the conveniences, services, and budget of a full-serve hotel. They are small operations, with small budgets. So, from what I experienced, I'm giving the Il Marzocco four stars, which means that as far as B&Bs go they are very good. Florence was our first...

Best value for money and hospitality we had in our entire europe trip. We wanted non-fussy yet helpfulservice, a florentine styled environment, very close to the train station for a lot of travelling in and out of florence, and it ticked all our boxes. Facilities and breakfast was basic but adequate for our "a place to sleep only" expectations. It... More

I think the review by jack94110 is spot on so. Read it. Additional "nagatives", albeit minor, or less than major ones, are: (1) you can likely forget getting wireless internet on the top floor (we did, but our room was above the reception. whereas our friends in a room 2 rooms over could not get wireless. The signal was inadequate);... More

A friend and I stayed at Il Marzocco for 6 nights during a 5 week holiday in Europe as we decided to take a chance on a B&B instead of staying in hotels all of the time. What a mistake!! This was definitely the worst place we stayed. A lot of attention has been given to making the place appear... More

We had a fantastic stay here. The owners went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. Their tips about the the places for ice creams and pizzas and also the places to visit were invaluable.The room was lovely and spacious. Location wise its very close to florence rail way station and all major attractions are within walking distance More

This was my second trip to Florence so I wasn't concerned as much about location as I was about price when booking- everything in Florence is very walkable. However, while the B&B is close to the train station, it is still pretty far from the center of town, and the walk can get a little annoying, especially if you've already... More
