Albena was a gracious host... Kind and thoughtful for each member of my family. The location is great for visiting the big sites as well as the off beat local shops and restaraunts. The beds were comfy and the rooms cleaned everyday. Would suggest if a low key b & b is your style. If you're a light sleeper... Request... More

Very friendly and welcoming staff, gave us lots of advice and we could not have asked for more attention. We were the first guests to arrive and we were given the choice of three rooms, two of them with great views to the street and Santa Maria del Fiore and one of them with views to an inner garden. We... More

The place is excepcionally well located, behind La Accademia, few steps from la Piazza di Santa Maria Annunciata and a couple blocks away from il Duomo. The owner service (Albena) will make you feel at home, the rooms are very clean and spacious, with classic huge windows to enjoy the street movement by the mornings. More

We stayed for three nights as a group (3 couples- one of which had a 4 month old) and we loved staying here. Location is superb and easy to find, the recommendations for local trattoria are top notch and the hospitality first rate. Albena and her husband catered for all our breakfast needs with fresh cooked breakfasts every morning and... More

My husband and I spent 2 nights at Soggiorno Panerai in October 2011. We were greated with warmth and enthusium by Albena. The room was spacious and so very comfortable. The bathroom was modern and very clean. Location, near the Duomo was fabulous - close enough yet still quiet at night. Albena was oh so helpful with maps, directions, and... More

Florence is simply lovely....and our visit was enhanced by our stay at Soggiorno Panerai. Albena made us feel so welcome. The place is beautiful, spotless, on a quiet side street with views of the Duomo. Breakfast, served to us in our room by a beautiful open window, was superb. We had only to ask for something and Albena saw to... More

My wife and traveled to Florence and Tuscany. We like to stay at individually owned B and B's with the hopes of getting a local experience verses a "holiday Inn" type of foreign experience. Our stay with Albena and Walter at Soggiono Panerai was that and more. At Panerai it was like we were living in Florence. The location was... More

As the other reviews state, this place is an excellent find. We stayed two nights and wished we stayed more. We traveled with a 10-month old which by itself is very challenging, but Albena and Walter helped make it as easy as possible. Pros: - The hosts provide exceptional advice on restaurant and itinerary recommendations - The breakfast was fresh... More

From the minute we walked down Via dei Servi and realized that our lodging for the next four days would be with a view of the Duomo we were awestruck. And then we met Albena...her warmth and willingness to please were the "icing on the cake". We absolutely loved our large, spotlessly clean room with private bath and extremely comfortable... More
