Little Garden Donatello

Nice place at the edge of the centre, about 15 minutes walk to the cathedral. Private cooking and coffee making facilities and a pleasant shared outdoor area (only 2 or 3 other rooms). Next to a road which didn't affect our sleep but may do if you're a light sleeper. Owners were particularly helpful when we struggled to book a taxi.

I can't stress how wonderful our stay was here. We stayed on the lower floor and we were just blown away by how amazing the place was. We felt like we were truly Italian staying in Florence in our own home. Sounds ridiculous I know but we did. The little shared garden is lovely for a glass of wine and a chill before setting off in the evening for a stroll. It was in average a 15 minute walk to the Centre which suited us to be away from a very busy Florence. Please check your emails before arriving. I didn't. It's so the hosts mum or dad can let you in! We hit lucky that we've arrived at the same time as another couple who had replied to the email. That was my fault as I was saving my data while being abroad. The dad was so lovely but limited English but this just added to the feel of being in Italy. When leaving, again let them know by text when u are so it can be arranged to check out. The hosts mum checked us out and she's adorable. It's beyond 5 stars. We had such a wonderful stay. The only thing I'd say is bring some mosquitoes repellant if you are prone to bites as there seemed to be quite a few flying around. We were both badly bitten. It can't be helped I know. Thank you so much for letting us stay. We hope to be back very soon. It's amazing. The photos on the website do not do the rooms justice. It's stunning.
