Ahmed United States of America

Our room was very large and had white linens. The bathroom was modern and large as well. We enjoyed this property very much. We walked to all locations in Florence easily with little time involved.

Thomas United States of America

Located steps from Santa Croce, easy walk to Piazza Signoria. Staff was excellent and helpful, especially the breakfast staff. Great breakfast. Good room size and bathroom.

Gigi United States of America

Our stay at La Maison du Sage exceeded out expectations in every way. The location was superb - just off of the Basilica of Santa Croce and only a ten minute walk from the Cathedral. The room was beautifully furnished, spacious, spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was extensive and fresh every morning with delicious options made to order. The property was exceptionally well presented and intimate in a way that only boutique guesthouses such as this can be. It was the perfect respite after the excitement and bustle of the city centre and we were grateful to be able to come and go as we pleased. Most important to our enjoyment of this trip, however, were the delightful staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and catered too. This was by far the best place we stayed on our trip around Italy and we hope to return soon.

Host Info

9.7
Host Review Score
Conveniently located in front of the Pazzi Chapel in Santa Croce’s square, La Maison du Sage enjoys the view of one of the most evocative glimpses of the facade and the sides of the magnificent basilica. The 1,000 square meters facilities are divided between the first and second floor of a Liberty Building, completely restored in 2016 and equipped with a modern glass elevator. The age of the building determined the choice of the property to give a sign of continuity between inside and outside electing the Art Déco the dominant style of its interior design. The spacious and elegant bedrooms are in fact decorated with Art Déco furnitures, like the King-size beds designed by Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann. Each bedroom is equipped with air conditioning, minibar, flat-screen satellite TV, Nespresso coffee machine and water kettle for tea. In the common areas there are two computers, books, magazines, Italian and foreign newspapers and the entire structure is covered by free WIFI. In one of the living room our guests can also take an afternoon break with tea and biscuits and every day is offered a small aperitif.
