I had a really wonderful stay! The location was nice and quiet. It was also a relatively short walk to the train station. The staff at the reception desk was super helpful and accommodating, I would definitely stay here again!

We had to make a last minute reservation due to being stranded in Florence (train strike) and we were in our room within half an hour of making the reservation, despite the reception being closed, thanks to the prompt help of Angelica.

There is a tram station nearby, so it's very convenient. The water pressure in the shower was also great. Best of all, there is a delicious jarato restaurant nearby.

We enjoyed our stay at Il Sorriso. The communication between Angelica and Antonella was magnificent. The house is so close to the metro line for T1 at the Strozzi Fallacci line. We took breakfast and it was worth it. Thank you for everything!

Relatively clean/quiet venue but the check-in process was a bit confusing and only had staff there for a short part of the day.
