Casa di Annalena

We had 2 different rooms during 2 different short stays and they were both good and clean. The hotel is close to the city centre and nice spots of the city. The rooms are retro style, very nice 👍 Also, you can leave your luggage before checkin or after checkout. Merci Anna! You were such a great host, so friendly and knowledgeable about Firenze. Good experience !

Casa di Annalena is in an absolutely stunning old building with gorgeous details to admire while you walk up to the second floor. The ceilings are maybe 20 feet high, so it’s a bit more steps to get to the second floor than a standard US building, but if you’re able to climb, it’s fun to imagine all that’s happened in that building over the last hundreds of years as you walk up. The woman at the front desk was so kind - walked us to our room & showed us how to use the keys (fun old locks!) and was so quick at unlocking the door whenever she heard us coming up the stairs (I’m both impressed at her peripheral vision and concerned that I’m a stomper haha). We were in room 20 with a terrace, which unfortunately we didn’t really get to use since we had rainy days, but it was still lovely to look out and see all the plants. I’m sure it’s so peaceful when it’s dry out. The only complaint is that the mattress is quite firm, but that’s more of a personal preference than the fault of the hotel. If you prefer softer mattresses with more give, you may not be the most comfortable, but the location, beauty, and historic charm may be enough to make it worth it! My partner slept soundly, so it’s not a terrible mattress, it just isn’t what my body prefers. Overall, worth a stay at a hotel that is clearly cared for by the staff.

Hotel in the second floor with no elevator. Reception is open from around 7am to 9:30pm and you receive the hotel keys so you can enter whenever you want. The building is quite old and not very well maintained so the main entry is a bit creepy. The hotel is nice, well decorated and maintained. Staff is super friendly.

This is a beautiful hotel full of history and it's palace roots came through in the decor. The rooms make you feel like you're royalty. For such an old building, it was immaculately clean. The balcony was my favorite part, and I wish I had spent more time out there during my stay. The staff is also very kind and welcoming. It's in a great location that was very quiet. It was a little spooky, but that added to the memory and the charm of this place!

My friend and I booked this hotel during our stay in Florence, and we were absolutely delighted with our experience. The location is fantastic—within walking distance to all the main attractions and conveniently close to the train station, which made getting around so easy.||The hotel itself is charming, with rooms that beautifully reflect the character and elegance of old Florence. The view from our room was stunning, and we especially appreciated the comfortable beds and excellent water pressure in the shower.||We were warmly welcomed by Anna, who greeted us with a radiant smile and truly exceptional hospitality. She made us feel right at home and was one of the highlights of our stay—her kindness and helpfulness left a lasting impression. ||Overall, this hotel was a perfect choice for our trip, and we would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend!

I would definitely recommend this hotel. It's very close to the city center. It's clean and safe. The staff is friendly and helpful. I'd also like to thank Jolanda for her helpful city recommendations. It's great that the staff speak Turkish. I'll be back on my next trip.

I hate to rate this place poorly but it has to be done. The staff and the location are incredible, nothing they did wrong. We simply were not able to sleep in the room. The AC doesnt work at all. It was 30C in our room both days we stayed. We set it to 16C hoping it might reduce a bit but it never happened. On top of that the room was infested with mosquitos. We were bitten all night and while we were sweating and uncomfortbale from the heat, we were itching every 10 seconds from insect bites. I would never return and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

I was looking for a place to stay that would be near where my daughter’s study abroad apartment was. This was the perfect location! Located in a more residential area, but also within a very short distance of Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens, and Ponte Vecchio and within 15 minutes of the Duomo and Uffizi. My room was spacious and clean with a lovely balcony overlooking a beautiful private garden. The staff was friendly, English speaking, and very helpful in finding restaurants, hailing me a taxi, and helping me with my luggage up and down the stairs. I will be sure to stay here again the next time I’m in Florence!
