Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Arrivals are only accepted between 14:00 and 20:00, which may be restrictive for late flights or trains.
- Breakfast is not a full spread — While some guests praised the breakfast, others found it basic – just a quick bite in the kitchen.
- Not in the historic centre — The B&B is in the Fortezza da Basso area, about 2 km from Boboli Gardens; you'll need the tram or a walk to reach the main sights.
