Oltrarno Splendid

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.....

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.

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.

What a lovely hotel and truly splendid staff. We had such a wonderful 4 night family stay here. All of the staff were friendly, helpful, warm, and welcoming. The rooms are HUGE and the AC is super high functioning. No weird sewer smells covered by incense and full cable TV (which we didn’t watch much of but was nice to have). Perfect assortment at breakfast and pastries available all day long. There is an elevator which was a relief. Also fantastic neighborhood - away from the center but close enough to walk everywhere. We would def stay again!!!

Great place to stay: amazing rooms, cool (and very helpful) staff. Well positioned. |Special thanks to Alberto, Davide and Laura who all went the extra mile.|Do check out their other properties in Florence (we only discovered them on departure): Ad Astra and SoprArno.

Love this place. It's an absolutely brilliant B&B. Enter through the huge doors and iron gates to a quiet sanctuary inside. The Splendid occupies the top two floors and there is an elevator. The reception and breakfast room are so interesting and full of artwork. Our room was huge with the biggest bed I've ever seen. It's beautifully decorated and the Aircon kept me nice and comfortable. Continental breakfast was a real treat, with delicious coffee, pastries and cake. Plenty of seats so no rush. We sat out the heat of the afternoon in the large lounge downstairs with it's vaulted ceiling and comfy sofas it was cool and quiet, there also an honesty bar if you want a drink. The B&B is well located for all the attractions and there are plenty of cafes, trattoria and restaurants nearby. We absolutely loved this hotel and are already planning our next visit.

Absolutely loved this gorgeous place! Find your massive secret door off the main street, into a gated courtyard and take a lift up to the gods! We stayed in the top room for our 25th Wedding Anniversary, with full views over the rooftops of Florence. Breakfast was lovely, attentive and everything you could need. Snacks and drinks available all day if needed after scouting around Florence. Alberto was fabulous and recommended great restaurants and suggestions. We will be returning as soon as.............XX

We loved our stay at Oltrarno Splendid in Florence! It’s in a great location in the Oltrarno neighborhood—across the river in a less touristy area, yet only a quick 10–15 minute walk to the Uffizi and other sites. The hotel is in a beautiful old palazzo from the 1500s but has a fresh, fun design that feels both stylish and welcoming. Breakfast each morning was delicious, with fresh pastries, yogurt and granola, and hard-boiled eggs. Our room was spacious with a very comfortable mattress, and we absolutely loved the giant claw-foot tub in the middle of the room—a perfect place to relax after exploring Florence. The in-room Nespresso machine was great for an espresso at our leisure, and cappuccinos are available at breakfast. They also offer wine, prosecco, juices, and soft drinks for purchase, which was a nice touch. We can’t wait to come back on our next visit to Florence!
