Well equipped room, great location, helpful nice hosts

Márton Switzerland

The hosts, Franco and Steffania were very warm, caring, respectful and responsive. They treated me like family so I felt at home in their property. There were lots of snacks, fruits, coffee, milk, yoghurt, etc. that they replenished regularly. The room is big, clean and smells fresh. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Location is very central, near the train station, a few meters from Duomo, Piazza Republica and other beautiful spots. I highly recommend Lucretia House and will definitely stay here again when I go back to Florence.

Cosy room with excellent location of walking distance to attractions. Comfortable bed. Host is very friendly and kind to provide bread/biscuits, fruits and coffee/tea in the room.

Bee Singapore

Clean and spacious room with a very convenient at just 5 minutes away from the train station. Stefanie (the host) was very friendly and accommodating to our requests. The room also came stocked with some simple packaged pastries, jam and coffee for a quick breakfast, though there are several phenomenal restaurants located nearby as well.

Location Location Location. We only stayed for a night. The owner allowed us to stay until 10.45. Breakfast was not included in the price but to our surprise she had left fruit, coffee, danishes, butter. We were stuffed and ready to hit the pavement. The room was in a quite street really close to the station, the Duomo and cool restaurants

Sumara Spain

Host is really nice , she gave a warm and nice welcome. I felt like this is the best welcoming place that I had in Italy. The room is really clean and tidy. She also had a snack , coffee and small breakfast for the guest. Definitely would recommend for the other guests !!

Tanyathorn United Kingdom

The host was friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean and the location, near the train station, was handy. We had to change some of our plans as the last minute and Stephanie helped us work out the issue. We will try to stay here again the next time we are in the area.

Mary United States of America

The location, the attentive host (Stefania), the fact that the room has a kitchenette and a sitting area. It’s a nice space.

Beate United States of America

Perfect location close to the center. Restaurants and cafes around but still it's a quiet place. The landlord was very nice

Veronique Israel

The room was quite big with a high seeling, with iron,kettle,tea and all facilities. Amazing and friendly host. The room and the bathroom were very clean. Great location, city center but quite street, 7 min to Ufizzi. Good restorant over the corner. Perfect choice.

Lucretia House is located between Piazza Santa Maria Novella and Piazza Duomo. Two rooms (1 double/twin and 1 triple) , available for our guests, are located on the first floor of a 14th century classic Florentine private residential small building.
This strategic location makes it an extraordinary apartment that is easily accessible from the Santa Maria Novella train station. It is a great base to visit all the main attractions of the city by foot. Via Tornabuoni, the most fashionable, luxurious and popular shopping street of Florence is located only 250 meters from the apartment. You are also within a short walk to the Arno River and Ponte Vecchio where you can see some of the most beautiful views over the river. Piazza Santa Maria Novella has been renewed and is within walking distance. This area of town is also known for its vast array of Florentine restaurants, you will be spoiled with all the choices!
