This is a great boutique B + B. The staff were very friendly and helpful on arrival. The rates aren't "budget", but they're very good value for what you get: large rooms, your own bathroom, toiletries, wifi, a generous breakfast and helpful staff. There's also a lift to the first floor (where the rooms are located) which helps a lot... More

We stayed 2 nights after flying into Florence. It is on a nice quiet street and within easy walking distance of the galleries and sights of the city. Our room was clean and comfortable and we slept very well. The soft lighting and quiet music playing as soon as we walked into the entrance at Johanna was vey welcoming and... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights, and it was good value for money. It is on a quiet and safe-feeling street (the Swedish consulate is there). The main attractions are a 10 minute walk away--straight shot so it is hard to get lost. The staff are very friendly and kind. We would stay here again. More

If your desire in travelling is to experience the charm of the places you visit, we strongly recommend the Residenza Johanna I. It is located in a less touristy part of Florence almost due north of the Duomo about a 5 to 10 minute walk. There you realize you are actually in Florence with charming assistance from the staff and... More

The photos on the web led me to believe we would have a slightly more comfortable room. We booked a standard twin at 125 euros per night and whilst not without charm, it was in need of a fresh coat of paint - other double roooms may have been more decoratively appealing. I preferred the common areas to the room.... More

We spent 3 days in Florance, a short trip for our silver wedding. Residenza Johanna I is very good choice in Florence, it is in a quiet area and close to the center with the famous sights, we always walked. It is also close to the train station - in a walking distance. Breakfast was wonderful and the staff very... More

Lovely old historic building with the B&B on the 1st floor. It’s a straight walk through to the Duomo piazza and major attractions in Florence, although takes about 10-15 mins to get to the centre. After 4 nights, we got a bit sick of that walk. You need to plan not to come back during the day and as Florence... More

I passed my honey moon with my wife in Johanna 1, I can just say that it's the best place I have been for bed and breakfast ! Clean, charming, wonderful and helful staff, amazing breakfast, just few of the elements you can find in Johanna 1. The rooms and the residence is located on the heart of Firenze and... More

It’s like a serviced apartment as far as I can tell and the rooms were comfy and clean, elegantly done up… we quite liked it. The location was decent… in walking range from the metro station. Bit away from the center though. The folks running the place were very pleasant and helpful. They booked us our museum passes, helped us... More
