What a wonderful experience! Truly five star service. It was such an easy check in process and the rooms are so lovely. You can see the attention to detail in absolutely everything. That bathrooms are truly exceptional and the comfortable bed made me never want to leave. Pierpaolo was such a gracious host. I stayed in Florence three nights before traveling to Sorrento. They held my large suitcase while I was gone, making my trip south so easy and much lighter. When I arrived back in Florence, my suitcase was in my room waiting. Overall everything was easy and truly luxury. They even arranged all our cabs! Close to the Duomo and all things city center. Don’t hesitate, book here!

Wonderful week in a top structure. Very comfortable bed, fantastic shower and despite being in the center you can't hear any noise. The room is clean and equipped with every comfort. The host was helpful with both luggage and information about Florence. I recommend the structure and a super deserved full score.

If you ever visit Florence, you must stay here! The interior is cozy with a modern touch, and the bathroom is spacious and well-equipped. Most importantly, the host, Pierpaolo, is incredibly warm and hospitable. He responds to messages very quickly, making me feel at ease to ask him anything. Thanks to him, I had an unforgettable two-night stay in Florence.

Best accommodation I have ever had while traveling in Italy.First of all, the room is very new and decorated very comfortably. The bathroom is amazing and the soundproofing of the room is very good. You can hardly hear the sound outside the room at night.The owner, Pierpaolo, is really kind and friendly. From making various recommendations before the trip to caring for us during our stay, he will provide us with the greatest assistance in time when we need help.If I return to Florence in the future, I will definitely choose Maison Ginori Guelfa again!

The Maison is the best place we ever stayed in Europe. Pierpaolo provides a high standard in hospitality. He is a kind and charming person. He took the time to receive us at our room and helped us with our luggage. The room was spotless. We got the standard room which consisted of a modern apartment with a large bathroom, comfortable bed and large tv. The room is located in the heart of Florence so you can walk to all tourist attractions in less than 15 minutes. We look forward to our next visit to Florence and we are definitely coming back to the Maison Ginori.

What a find!!! We stayed in the delux room for 3 nights in February. Pierpaolo was a fabulous host meeting us at the apartment and even gifted us a bottle of wine. The room / shower were impeccably clean and towels changed and cleaned every day. Nice touch was the complimentary drinks and water in the fridge every day. Would recommend to anyone staying in Florence - the location is superb for the train station and all attractions. Thank you 😊
