    Amazing friendly host Marco, present every morning to check on us. Great advice, good level of communication. Lovely breakfasts. Nice little outdoor table in secure courtyard. Close enough to walk everywhere, and far enough away to be quiet.

    Absolutely beautiful! The kitchen was large and had lots of pots, pans, and other cooking equipment so we were able to make dinner & lunch. Breakfast was lovely and filled with lots of options, rooms were big and spacious - perfect for larger groups of friends or family. Little outdoor area was a perfect way to start our mornings. Fantastic location, literally a 3 minute walk from the closest tram stop which takes you to the central part of Florence. Marco was a sensational host, very kind, communicative, and always available to help with any requests we had regarding the accomodation & also made fantastic recommendations for our visit to Florence (e.g., where the closest super market is located). Rooms were also air-conditioned and had a lovely bathroom with lots of room. The cleaning service was also great, shout out to Marco and Bruno leaving our room and the kitchen sparkling clean! Unbeatable price for what you get, I highly recommend this accomodation.

    We really enjoyed the room, all the facilities were great, even had a little terrace to eat outside. Bruno & Marco were super welcoming, giving plenty of recommendations for touristic & local places to visit or eat in. Breakfast was great! Would highly recommend!!

    Everyone at B&B l’Olivo was so sweet and accommodating. Bruno and Marco are very pleasant people! We also enjoyed the location. If you’re coming from the Santa Novella Station, it’s only a 18 minutes walk. The property is next to a park that’s nice to chill at after a long day of exploring Florence. Additionally, the breakfast was great. I love the fruit and food that was provided. There’s also a nice patio space to get fresh air.

    Only thing that I didn’t love was that the mosquitoes formed a sort of mafia in the back yard making it quite dangerous lol. But really it was not a big deal! Plus Marco allowed us to use the washer so it made up for it!

    We loved Marco and Bruno, they were great host. Breakfast was simple and great! The room was spacious and well taken care of! The property was gorgeous and well maintained. We would definitely stay here again! I already miss Florence!

    Very helpful staff, they advised us very clearly how to get the keys when we arrived late to the hotel in the midnight. They also advised us on places to visit with details. Both room and kitchen were very clean. Placed at a very good location close to the city tourist attractions and 10 min walk to the train station.

    We were guests at B&B L'olivo for 7 days at the beginning of this month. From the beginning I want to thank Bruno and Marco for the way they welcomed us and made us feel like family. They take care that everything is clean and orderly. They help you solve any problem and any information you ask for has an answer. The location is in a quiet area, away from the noise of the city and tourists (but still close to the Cathedral - only a 20-minute walk) and there are plenty of restaurants and pizzerias nearby. I must mention the terrace and the little garden. It's a dream. When I was there, the jasmine was blooming. In the cool of the morning, the aroma of coffee mingled with the smell of jasmine, and the coffee served there was a good sign for a new day of visiting Florence. Thank you Bruno, thank you Marco.
