Although just an intimate guesthouse, Florence Old Bridge is in a prime location in the heart of Florence, just steps from the world-famous Ponte Vecchio. The five recently-renovated guestrooms include a small economy double, a standard double and triple room. For a bit more comfort and space, guests can opt for the superior or deluxe room with hydro-massage bath tubs. The deluxe room has its own private balcony. All rooms include air-conditioning, safe and hairdryer. Florence Old Bridge offers complimentary Wi-Fi and a 24-hour reception at a nearby hotel. Guests can savour breakfast (for a supplement), lunch or dinner whilst taking in spectacular panoramic views of the old town from the partner hotel's roof-top terrace. The Palazzo Pitti and the vast Boboli gardens are just a short wander away, whilst The Uffizi Gallery is just a quick hop over the Ponte Vecchio. The Duomo can be reached in just ten minutes by foot.
You may imagine that to stay just metres from the iconic Ponte Vecchio in Florence would cost an arm and a leg. Guests are naturally amazed that they can stay at a small and good quality B&B for such a reasonable cost. Whilst the bridge is just a couple of minutes away, the guesthouse is quite calm, away from the crowds, yet within easy reach of all of the historic attractions.
Guests find the rooms incredibly cosy and clean after the recent renovations. The air-conditioning is particularly effective and the Wi-Fi works well.
Guests who choose to enjoy breakfast or a meal at the guesthouse's mother hotel, across the road, end up satisfying a lot more than their taste-buds. The restaurant has its own roof-top terrace with absolutely sensational panoramic views of the Florence skyline.
Guests feel that the term B&B is used extremely loosely in describing this establishment. For a start, you have to pay extra for the breakfast, which kind of goes against the principal of bed and breakfast for many, and then you have to go over the road to the hotel to actually eat it.
Imagine arriving late at your accommodation with all your luggage after a tiring trip. Think about how you'd feel then having to go to another hotel across the street and up three floors (with all your bags) in order to check in? Well that's what guests have to do here which they find to be a bit of an inconvenience to say the least.
