We had the most AMAZING stay at Fior de Gelsomino! I am an Inflight Service Manager in an International Airline and have travelled extensively around the globe and stayed in over a 1000 hotels in the past 25 years, yet can honestly say that this was by far one of my best experiences! My two girls aged 19 & 14 and I, spent 3 nights at this bed and brekky and simply loved Florence and our host Alessandra. The warm welcome, the genuine attention and care to all our needs (my girls wanted fast wifi, an iron & board, hairdryer, International adaptors) the aroma of freshly baked cake and a beautifully laid out breakfast in the garden with turtles and orange trees, an immaculately clean ensuite with little cuisinette, we loved this little place and definitely will return someday. Alessandra treats all her guests like family members and my girls loved sharing their Artwork with her (she and her daughter Beatrice are Graphic Artists) From the railway station, bus no. 11 drops you right outside the gate to Fior de Gelsomino. Very convenient! Very worth the price as a motel in the city centre will not give you the same ambience and feel of a 'home away from home'. From perusing Alessandra's guest book, I could see that most guests left with the same feeling and will return or recommend to others. Thank you Alessandra, we love you and will always have beautiful memories of our trip to Florence:)
