About

B&B La Casa Dei Tintori

B&B La Casa Dei Tintori sits on Corso Dei Tintori, a street that once belonged to the city's dyers' guild, in the medieval heart of Florence. The building carries its history in its stone facade and high ceilings, while the interiors have been fitted with modern comforts like air conditioning and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Breakfast is a proper Italian affair - coffee, pastries, and enough to set you up for a day of sightseeing. The owners, Riccardo and Lavinia, are known for their warmth and practical help, from luggage carrying to restaurant tips and even discounted parking nearby.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Unbeatable central location — The B&B is a five-minute walk from both the Basilica of Santa Croce and Palazzo Vecchio, and an easy stroll to the Ponte Vecchio.
  • Spacious, well-equipped rooms — Rooms come with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and some have courtyard or city views. Several guests highlighted the generous size and comfort.
  • Attentive and helpful hosts — Riccardo and Lavinia are praised for their warmth, local tips, luggage assistance, and even helping arrange discounted parking.
  • Good value for the area — Guests describe the B&B as reasonably priced compared to boutique alternatives, especially in high season.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 19:30, which may be tricky for late arrivals. The property does offer VIP check-in/out, so it's worth coordinating.
  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower than other aspects — While guests love the size and character, the 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores 7/10 - a notch below the location and dining scores.
  • Some rooms lack air conditioning — The quadruple room is described without air conditioning or heating, so it may not suit summer heatwaves.
  • Breakfast not included in all rates — While many guests praise the breakfast, it's not explicitly listed as included in the base price, so check your booking details.

04 — Location

Getting around Florence

The property sits in Florence.

Santa Croce: The neo-gothic Franciscan basilica is about a five-minute walk away. Its frescoes and tombs are a must-see, and the square is lively with cafés and gelaterias.

Ponte Vecchio: Florence's famous medieval bridge with its jewelry shops is just a short stroll across the river. Come early to avoid the crowds, or later for golden-hour light.

Palazzo Vecchio: The town hall and its tower dominate Piazza della Signoria. You can explore the museum or simply admire the architecture from the square.
