A cosy B&B in Florence
It was an amazing stay. The hotel was near attractions and the train station plus plenty of food options nearby.
The room was huge with a lovely view of the Cathedral, clean and equipped with the necessary amenities.
Stefano & Madelina were wonderful hosts. Stefano was really helpful checking on updates when there was a train strike the day we were leaving Florence. We will be returning to Relais Luce when we visit Florence again in the future.

A fairly easy walk from the Firenze SMN train station, and in good proximity to many dining options. The property is very modern and the staff is very attentive. Reception is two floors above ground level, accessible mostly by a small lift. Depending on the room assignment there may be an additional flight of stairs to climb. Their optional breakfast was awesome!

The location was super convenient. It was close to the S.N.M main train station, and had supermarkets nearby and many restaurant. The room was clean and the staff was very nice. Not sure if I asked too much, but it would be nice to provide also body lotion in the amenities.
