Reviews
Perfect location for our favorite neighbourhood, Santo Spirito, in Florence as well as being a short walk (5-7 mins) to bridges. The room was a good size for this type of property and spotless clean. The owner was extremely helpful in every aspect. Will definitely stay here again.
Very nice guesthouse which is a 20 minute walk to the center of town. Room was adequate - I had a single room which didnt have tons of space but to be expected but the price reflected that. The Santo spirito area in which its located is also very nice for food and exploration. The host is very welcoming and helpful with local suggestions.
Very good experience in this hotel! The owner is really nice and explains everything you need to know. He also gives recommendations on things to do and where to eat. The room is super clean, we loved it! Bonus point for the snacks they give everyday
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Althea Rooms and would highly recommend this accomodation. The delightful Denis was extremely helpful on arrival and throughout our stay. We will definitely return again! A presto, Denis!
