Antica Dimora Johlea Guesthouse

I enjoyed my 4 night stay there. They contacted me via Whatsapp before my arrival which gave me confidence that the booking was all in order. I was welcomed in and given a tour of the hotel and given some tips on things to do in Firenze. I found the bed comfortable and room had enough room do pack my things away. They don't do breakfast which suites me very well so that I could eat at the coffe shops whithout feeling bad about wasting food. There are cool resaurants and bars nearby. The hotel looks organised and feels clean. The terrace is a great bonus with some good views accros the city. They definitely had a positive contribution to my trip. Thank You

The owner and staff are friendly and kind. They were well accommodating. They have a nice terrace. It’s close to the city centre and can easily be reached from Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station. The stay is comfortable with good amenities. I would recommend them.

A wonderful place in the central part of the city but, nevertheless, very quiet and cozy. The host spent some time to recommend us places to visit and good restaurants which, in fact, were just as great as described by them. We had the pleasure to sit on the terrace upstairs and enjoy the view of the whole city. I’d stay here again whenever I visit Florence. P.S. the bar with spirits is a great idea!

Our experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing due to the unprofessional and rude behavior of the management. When we checked in, the manager explicitly told us that we could use the common space. Taking him at his word, we sat there with our two friends to enjoy a coffee the day after. However, after about 30 minutes, the manager and his wife arrived and shockingly started insulting our friend who happened to be using the bathroom, claiming that the common area was not meant for our friends. Their behavior was aggressive and completely unacceptable. The manager even accused us of "sneaking into his house," which was absurd since we were in a hotel where we had paid to stay. This confrontation left us feeling unwelcome and deeply offended. The day earlier, the manager had offered to book a table for us at a local restaurant he suggested. He explicitly messaged me that the booking was done and we should simply say the hotel's name when we arrive. It turned out that no reservation had been made. While the restaurant did manage to seat us, the food was below average, and the staff was rude and unfriendly—far from the "good recommendation" we were promised. Overall, this experience left a very negative impression and ruined the good vibes of our trip to Florence.

Outstanding guest house in great location. We were made to feel very welcome by Daniele who explained everything regarding the property & his recommendations locally Would highly recommend

Most wonderful souvenir of Firenze ! Superbe host, supply, terrasse view & sunshine & 🐈 literally perfect❤️

Located in 20 mins walk from train station (close to attractions), very clean, cozy and mostly quiet rooms. The host is also very friendly and welcoming. There’s a common area with snacks and terrace with a beautiful view although I was mostly outside. Other notes: soundproofing isn’t very good in rooms - there’s something (sounds like pump/motor/elevator?) that made regular noise and woke me up all three nights of my stay. Would be great if it can be fixed. You will read a lot about good breakfast in reviews but those are outdated, breakfast isn’t served anymore. There are plenty of nice places for breakfast around though

Amazing hosts, welcomed with an espresso and an overview of the facilities and tons of recommendations for the city, including making reservations for us for dinner and at museums. Having breakfast on the rooftop balcony was a pleasure, with the 360 views of Florence. Breakfast itself was overwhelming, with so much good food. Room itself was very authentic, very comfortable and clean. Such a pleasure, thank you!
