Karen's Review Of This Property:
Antica Dimora Firenze

The latest arrival in the group of independent city bed & breakfast properties, managed by Lea, is the very charming Antica Dimora Firenze. Located in part of an ancient palazzo owned by the Pandolfini family, just 5 blocks north of the Duomo Cathedral, it has similar characteristics to the other bed & breakfasts found in the same area (Johanna I & II, Johlea) owned by the same cordial owner, but offers a great deal more. Six smartly decorated rooms are located on the second floor of the ancient, residential building. Each room is individually and tastefully appointed as in a true home, with great attention to detail and guest comfort. A cozy living/reception room with inviting sofas plus breakfast room awaits guests. Breakfast is served in this same reception room or privately in the bedrooms. It is difficult to choose a preference among the six romantic rooms, each completely different in soft pastel color schemes and a unique, additional feature. There are two lovely corner rooms and two quiet ones with small back terraces. All have antique pieces, silk or hand-woven Busatti fabrics and linens, and canopy beds. The color-coordinated bathrooms have marble or brick floors. All are delightful giving the feeling of having your own private apartment in Florence, including the key to the front door! Guests have free wireless connection, television and DVD, plus other amenities.

Our room was beautifully decorated, looking out on a sunny peaceful courtyard behind the building. It was a quiet retreat to come home to after walking the city each day. We also enjoyed taking a bottle of wine to the terrace at the sister property, Antica Johlea, just down the street. The service was excellent and attentive. They made dinner reservations for us (and checked to see whether we had enjoyed the meal) and suggested places to see. Hotel is a 20 minute brisk walk from the Uffizi, so close enough to everything but economically priced.

We had a wonderful stay at Antica Dimora during the first week of August. Of course, the city is quite hot at that time of year, but the air conditioned rooms were a blessing! The B&B is conveniently located a short walk from all the major attractions, just far enough away to be peaceful and quiet, but close enough for easy walks to attractions, meals, etc. Breakfast was simple but very tasty, and the help at the desk was top-notch! They were very willing to give us advise for restaurants and even arranged for a taxi on the morning of our departure. Highly recommend Antica Dimora if your travels bring you to Florence.
