I stayed at Relais with a friend for three nights in early August. The location is very convenient, within walking distance from many major landmarks in Florence. The room was clean and comfortable (the A/C was especially appreciated given the time of year), and the common kitchen area was a nice place to relax and have breakfast on days with a slower start. Anna provided a lot of great suggestions for places to visit and also helped us make a couple of restaurant reservations. Check-in and check-out were both smooth and efficient.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at Relais Cavalcanti. Anna, Francesca and the young woman who met us when we arrived were delightful. Our room -Donatello-was lovely with a view of Palazzo Signoria. The location was excellent. Walking distance of most everything we wanted and many restaurants in the area. We would stay here again1

Excellence all around
I could not be happier with my stay here. I contacted them via email several weeks before my stay to ask if they would be willing to reserve restaurants for me ahead of time and they were absolutely wonderful about it and booked over 7 restaurants for me. Check in was very friendly, they provided a map of the area wifh recommendations. Cleaned the room every day which was great, cold water in the mini fridge on arrival. Location was excellent in central florence, only 15 min walk from train station and 5 to the Duomo. When my flight got cancelled and i was delayed by a day, they kindly adjusted my reservation so I didn't pay for an extra day even last minute. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

This Guest House is in very central florence closed to Uffizi Galary as described. Anna is very helpful. She assists to call taxi for us on the departure day to the airport. It's nice to have some coffee, biscuits and some fruits in the morning. There are eggs as well although they are not hot. Overall I really recommend this place for its perfect location.

Fantastic location! I'm not sure you could even ask for better. Only downside (if it even counts) is that it's so centrally located that all the restaurant nearby are very touristy, but the staff provided a map highlighting areas to walk to for more local food. Rooms were clean and the shower had hot water that you could crank up to scalding ;)

Very good location and friendly host. The room and bathroom were spacious. The dining room was also comfortable and the continental breakfast was good. The only negative was the noisy market just outside our room.

Must stay here
This hotel is a must when staying in florence - location, location, location is just the beginning. Right in the heart of Florence and minutes away from Ponte Vecchio, what more could you ask for? Exceptional service - Anna went above and beyond to assist us with planning our holiday and I cannot thank her enough. She was amazing and her passion is what makes this hotel so beautiful, each of the rooms has so much thought and love and have been thought through for what travellers need. Thank you Anna and the team for making our stay in florence so perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer.

We stayed at Relais Cavalcante 10 years ago with our daughters and didn't even consider another place to stay in Florence. Anna and her staff are amazing and offer impeccable service. They arranged breakfast for us when we left early one day for a tour. They stock a breakfast room with snacks and beverages at any hour. We love this establishment and highly recommend!

Firenze!!!
We had a great time at this place. Excellent location. The owner was very helpful And truly committed to making sure We were comfortable in Florence. She sent me to the leather school to buy a great bag rather than the junk that’s on the streets which is made in China. Nice breakfast. Super big room. 1 flight up to the lift.
