A cosy B&B in Florence

It was an amazing stay. The hotel was near attractions and the train station plus plenty of food options nearby. The room was huge with a lovely view of the Cathedral, clean and equipped with the necessary amenities. Stefano & Madelina were wonderful hosts. Stefano was really helpful checking on updates when there was a train strike the day we were leaving Florence. We will be returning to Relais Luce when we visit Florence again in the future.

Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the city was a highlight. When we needed to leave early our last morning, the hotel arranged to give us a breakfast tray the night before. We'd stay there again.

A fairly easy walk from the Firenze SMN train station, and in good proximity to many dining options. The property is very modern and the staff is very attentive. Reception is two floors above ground level, accessible mostly by a small lift. Depending on the room assignment there may be an additional flight of stairs to climb. Their optional breakfast was awesome!

The staff are great, family owned. Two floors up via lift so very quiet, but conveniently near train which was helpful, and only a short walk to many sites. Elena was incredibly sweet and helpful, particularly with regard to making my way to the countryside after my brief visit to Florence. Her brother was very nice too and told me some interesting things about the olive groves in Italy. Nice breakfast on the terrace with a wonderful view. I recommend and would stay again.

Perfect stay in Florence

We absolutely loved our stay at Relais Luce! The location is a short walk from the SMN train station, but also walkable to most of the sights in Florence. There are tons of restaurant options as well. The room and bathroom were modern, well-appointed, and immaculately clean! Our room had a terrace with a table & 2 chairs where we enjoyed a glass of wine and the view in the evening. The common areas were also very nice, with a water refill station. A delicious breakfast was ordered from a checklist the evening prior and we enjoyed ours served to us on the breakfast terrace with its picturesque view. The hospitality was wonderful - everyone was friendly & helpful! We stored our bags at checkout too. It was really a lovely stay & we hope to return! Just a note that there are 3 easy steps to the elevator, and the hosts help with luggage if there are stairs to your specific room.

Great small B&B, location was very good, close to most attractions and the main train station. Lots of options to eat /coffee shops. The room was clean and well organized. The reception hours are limited, and during evenings there is no one at reception. The rooms are small and you can hear almost everything 😅. Also most rooms are facing the street, it's a very central location due to the train station proximity, and very noisy during all hours, even when the window is closed. During my last night, there was work done on the street ( 1am!) what made it impossible to sleep. Overall it's a nice hotel, but try to ask for a back room.
