Oltrarno Splendid

Having a key to the front door felt like we had our own 18th century palazzo close to the Arno. ||Sumptuous B&B with stunning furnishings. Our standard suite was huge and beautifully furnished. Lovely to have a claw foot freestanding bath in the bedroom and a dual shower! ||We loved being away from the crowds, but close to all the major sights within easy walking distance. ||Davide was kind and attentive throughout our stay. ||Good continental breakfast. ||A perfect start to our 2 week tour of Tuscany. We loved our stay here and will return when we next visit Florence.

I absolutely adore Oltrarno Splendid! The room was fabulous (and spacious), the buffet breakfast was amazing, and the service was outstanding! Plus they made us espresso and cappuccinos on request! It was so close to the train station and everything we wanted to see, so we were able to walk the entire time. Very accessible! I will be back. I highly recommend staying here! Florence was beautiful! Thanks to the hotel staff for the amazing experience!

We had a lovely welcome at Oltrarno Splendid – the people were warm, friendly, and helpful throughout our stay. The room itself was large, beautifully designed, and the location couldn’t be better for exploring Florence. That said, I want to share an important note for anyone sensitive to mold. Unfortunately, there was noticeable mold in the air conditioning, which made the whole room smell of mold whenever it was on and a persistent sewage smell whenever the bathroom was used. If you don’t have sensitivities, this may not be an issue, but for those who do, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

Davido and Alerberto, thank you, excellent, professional, friendly, no words, this place is about these two individuals, thank you..they assisted in every single way, recommendations, restaurants, places to visit, everything, thank you... Then there are the girls at breakfast, friendly professionals, an entire boutique property of smiles...||This place is 100% a boutique hotel and very much different to many properties i have stayed in the past..It just has that something different, the owner(s) have really looked at the attention to detail in the design from entering to the common areas and the rooms.||Room, we booked a superior double as the only one available, this was a last minute booking. Spacious, funky in design, new with old, so well done. Bathroom, walk-in rain shower, great pressure and temperatures of choice, (little small if on the larger size as a human) but good. Bathroom was overall good. Bed was large, good sheets and pillow options. Small fridge and Television. Overall, very good well designed room.||Breakfast area, quaint, funky and some great servings in the morning, coffee, fresh juices, yogurts, fruits, pastry, toast, good selection and all full of flavor. Excellent service..||Location wise, fine, but if driving, be prepared to use the garage provided by the hotel (third party), maybe a 5-10 minute walk from the property. Well operated though, and they store your vehicle somewhere in the city. Just need an hours notice to get the vehicle returned. Great location in the historic center. Recommend a walk the Monastery for the chants at 1830 in the summer, good 30-minute walk through some excellent streets.||Overall, excellent.....

As guests at the Oltrarno we felt as if we were staying at the home of Italian friends who had unsurpassed attention to detail, an amazing taste in design and an interest in creating an unforgettable experience. |The B&B is intimate, with 14 uniquely styled rooms. Our King room was extremely spacious (much more than we really needed) with beautiful fluffy robes and slippers. The lounge area and availability of beverages (for purchase) was appreciated as was the morning breakfast and availability of pastries & fruit throughout the day. |I highly recommend this boutique B&B to those who want to fully embrace the hospitality and warmth of Italians. Davidae, Alberto and Laura go out of their way to assure an amazing experience in every way.

This was such a cool and trendy hotel, and away from the hustle and bustle that downtown Florence can be. Our room was awesome and filled with so much history and the double shower was a plus. We also really enjoyed the breakfast and lounge area. Would definitely stay there the next time we're in town!

I can’t say anything original in this review that anyone has said in the other reviews but can only confirm that this place was wonderful! Super super quiet at night which is a need for a light sleeper like myself . Bed was comfortable. It is on the other side of the bridge so not as touristy but everything was within walking distance . We got the top floor room with dazzling views and quite roomy. We did hear some activity during breakfast hours but nothing over the top. Leonardo was so kind to help us try to find a specific tour we were looking for and Barbara helped us with some restaurants and helped me navigate the train schedule and protocol. If we come back to Florence, we would definitely stay here again!

From the moment we arrived for our honeymoon, Oltrarno Splendid made us feel celebrated, welcomed, and completely at home. Davide at the front desk was a true gem—coordinating seamlessly with another hotel for us, offering excellent insider tips, and making sure every detail of our stay felt effortless. His warmth and professionalism set the tone for an unforgettable visit.||Each morning, Laura greeted us with a smile and an incredible breakfast—fresh, beautifully prepared, and served with genuine care. It was the perfect start to our days exploring Florence.||Our room was pure romance: a stunning blend of historic charm and modern comfort, with plush bedding, thoughtful touches like soft robes, a freestanding tub framed by windows, and views that swept across terracotta rooftops to Florence’s domes and towers. Watching the city glow under the moonlight from our window was pure magic.||As a gay couple, we felt not just accepted but celebrated—something that made this beautiful hotel feel even more special. Between the spectacular room, the breathtaking views, and the heartfelt service from Davide, Laura, and the team, Oltrarno Splendid gave us a honeymoon we will treasure forever.
