We loved our stay at Hotel Il Bargellino. The place is wonderfully situated, immaculately clean, and incredibly charming. (The outside terrace complete with parrot is an added bonus.) Carmel and her husband are superb hosts--from booking museum reservations to providing directions and even mosquito protection, they made everything about our stay in Florence wonderful. We stayed in the quadruple and found it plenty of space for the four of us with gorgeous furnishings to boot.
