Bed and Breakfasts without breakfast are odd. The location of the hotel was only slightly inconvenient (about a 20 minute walk to the Duomo and "center" of Firenze). The biggest problem was the noise. This problem though was as a result of one of the strengths of this mansion - the spaciousness. The rooms are huge and cavernous and so the noise echos off the walls and made it difficult to sleep through other guests' actions/noises. Overall though, it was a very good value. I would stay again (with earplugs).

walkable from main train station they don't give breakfast (wonder why it's B&B) but that's hardly an issue. a nice café close-by to have a very Italian breakfast. overall it's a very nice place. if ever I return to Florence I would be glad to stay in San Frediano Mansion.

very nice location and the size of the room is quite a bit larger than most other bed and breakfasts we had stayed in Italy. The only thing bad that I would have to say about San Frediano is that it does not serve breakfast. Im not sure how they get to call themselves a b and b. There is a very good coffee maker in the hallways though. Other than that the location is excellent, maybe 2 miles from Santa Maria train station and half mile from ponte vecchio and Duomo

The room we stayed in here was amazing. Huge, and confortable. We had two issues, neither one was a big deal to us, but we felt misled by the website. The first issue was breakfast...there wasn't really any. There was instant coffee and crackers. That's it. Even for Italy this was meager. The second issue was the bathroom. I booked online a room with a private bathroom. We got this except that the bathroom was down the hall. It was private because only we had the key, but we expected a private bathroom to be accessible from the room. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. The man helped us book reservations at the Uffizi an Accademia.

We were thrilled with this huge, clean room, far better than we'd expected. The pictures don't do it justice. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable. Close to the river, a short walk to all we wanted to see and do. Although the beds were not especially comfortable, after walking and exploring all day, we didn't care much. We would most definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Very good value with extremely welcoming staff. Spacious room was fine for the price paid and cleaned each day however the bathroom was very cramped. No breakfast on offer but there are tea/coffee making facilities in the reception area. The location was perfect for walking to wherever in Florence and there's a lift althought the accommodation is only on the second floor so not too many steps to tackle. Would recommend and definately stay again.

One of our best stays in Italy. Good location handy to train station and sights, spacious and comfortable room, very helpful staff, and an excellent value. And we appreciated that they provide a nice bar of glycerin soap and bottle of good shampoo. Our experience was very good and we would highly recommend San Frediano Mansion.

Simone at San Frediano Mansion was wonderful. Not all the rooms have kitchen facilities but ours did, stocked with dishes, pans, and utensils. The bathroom was very large with a bath tub and hand held shower nozzle. There was a comfortable bed in one area and an a couch/futon bed in the other area, two T.V.s and a table with four chairs. This was our first trip to Florence and we enjoyed shopping in the local markets and cooking some of the meals in our room. The mansion staff was very friendly. It was fun to stay in a 16th century building with beautiful frescoes. The historic area is a quick walk across the Arno River and the Ponte Vecchio is close by. The mansion was an outstanding value for us with our two teenage children and we would stay there again.

We were extremely impressed with staff (Simone) who made us feel welcome and at home. Room was fine for the price paid (security good) and cleaned each day(although not B/B as promoted). The location was perfect for walking to wherever in Florence and theres a lift for the elderly,infirm or, if you like Chianti, incapable! Very good value!
