Perfect stay. Casa thiele is in the best location of Florence. You are about a 5-15 minute walk to any major attraction. It’s quiet, clean, the staff is friendly, especially Samuel. They are very attentive to guests. Shower is hot and the pressure is right (important for me), the air conditioning works really well and is quiet. It’s the perfect place for a quick stay in Florence. 10/10 would come back!
We had an amazing stay at Casa Thiele. The room was beautiful and clean. The location was fantastic. The hosts really made the stay though with great service and recommendations. Antonio went above and beyond every day and really puts his heart into his work and the guests (breakfast was great!). He was incredibly kind and his warmth and hospitality really made the stay special for us.
We stayed for three nights in March and had the most wonderful experience! The rooms are beautiful and clean the bed was very comfortable, Antonio and Daniel were so helpful and kind. The hotel is right off the plaza and was just a few minutes walking from all the major spots. Highly recommend!
I'll start with: I would not stay here again, or recommend especially for any long stay. I believe due to the dimming of lights and short stays they get better reviews from guests just enamored with being in beautiful Firenze. I stayed with a friend in the Fauna room. We are both larger sized women with hips and not in athletic shape. PROS: The location is amazing. The price is affordable. Antonio who works in the morning was very nice even though he doesn't speak fluent English, he works hard and does his best to host and help. He was wonderful. CONS: Bed: like sleeping on a futon, very hard, thin mattress. Pillows were flat and firm. Bathroom: Shower is capsule stand up like on a cruise ship. Very difficult to maneuver around in. One morning the water fully cut off. Lots of mold. Toliet is very tight to the wall, and toilet paper behind on a high shelf. Room in general: the rock walls while pretty, are FULL of dust. Room is dimly lit. I didn't notice until packing up that the wall with area to hang your clothes looks like it is full of mold growth? I believe between the dust and possible mold that is what caused my constant allergies in the hotel. Both my friend and I were sneezing often while in the hotel but ok when we left. Staff is only on-site partial hours, so if you are doing tours/events, you don’t see them. Yes the stairs were difficult but it is common in Europe. This is my 7th visit to Europe, 20 hotels, this BY FAR the least cleanliness. Breakfast was extremely basic, again though for the price ok even with uncomfortable bed, IF the room was CLEAN and maintained properly. Granted, when we asked, they tried to help. For example on arrival our shower didn't drain, lots of standing water, they fixed later the next day.
