I thought this B&B was quite good value for the money. It was very close and an easy walk from the train station. Located on a fairly quiet street there is a small store next door where you can buy snacks and drinks. I stayed in the single room which was adequately sized with a bed, small writing desk and...

My wife and I went for 2 weeks HONEYMOON in Italy. We're agree that Florence is the BEST!!! And of course, B&B Il Cielo is my love, with the details of interior design & all masterpiece. BB was very nice also Giancarlo. Superb traditional breakfast, but we still love THAI's food ^_^ (sorry for that, Giancarlo). We will be there... More

I thought this place was fine, my husband didn't care for it. It is close to the main train station - about five minutes, and about 10-15 minutes from where most of the action is in Florence. The rooms were not as clean as I would hope, after we checked in they didn't get cleaned for the rest of the... More

Me and my girlfriend stayed for two nights and myself for an extra night. The room was very nice and the whole B&B is really made by someone with excellent taste. Il cielo is also in a perfect position for both the historical center and the main train station. Giancarlo, the owner, is really nice, helpful and interesting. I cannot... More

A friend and I spent 5 nights recently at Il Cielo in Florence which was a short walk from the train station and easy to find. Our host, Giancarlo, could not have been more helpful, carrying bags up the stairs, recommending restaurants, etc., lending guidebooks and printing reservation documents for us. The B&B was very well situated within easy walking... More

Check in 2/19/2011, nine nights. Once we got oriented in the train station, the B&B was not hard find. GianCarlo met us at the fourth floor. We enjoyed his company very much, he provided excellent restaurant suggestions and places to visit. Our room was clean, thought the toilet was down the hall. The breakfast was wonderful, sometimes small pastries that... More

We had a great time in Florence and a pleasant stay at Il Cielo. The rooms are tasteful and the host is helpful and accommodating. He is there if you need but also stays out of your way. The breakfast is plentiful and a nice variety of food with beautiful pastries. The rooms are situated at the top of 4... More

During my recent trip to Italy I stayed in Florence for a couple of nights, and was hosted by Giancarlo at Il Cielo. It was a great spot to stay! Just a short walk away from the train station and the downtown area. Giancarlo was very hospitable, providing a simple but tastey breakfast each morning. He also went out and... More
