I've stayed in at least half a dozen different hotels in Florence. My time at Casa di Barbano was by far the most enjoyable! As a visitor to a bi-annual trade fair ( Pitti Immagine Filati ) held at the Fortezza da Basso Convention Center, this location was incredibly convenient-- a quick 5 minute walk away. After a morning of... More

This charming B and B with 3 rooms, bath ensuite is located within a short walk from the train station and bus stops. We felt welcome and secure in this cozy establishment. Even though we had only 2 nights, Moraq arranged a reservation number with both Uffizi and L'Academie, so we could skip the long queue and pay and go... More

We chanced upon Casa Di Barbano from tripadvisor and 2 nights on, we never regretted our decision to stay with our wonderful hosts. Coming out of Florence SMN Railway Station, Casa was about 10 minutes walk along the atmospheric Via Nationale where heaps of nice eateries, gelatos and a well-stocked supermarket were located. Upom arrival at the B&B, we were... More

We stayed four nights at Casa di Barbano in October. Moraq was very helpful. She provided a map and suggestions for restaurants and sites. It was located close to the train station, close was still a good 10 minute walk, but it was great when taking the train or bus to/from the city, which we did a bunch (including a... More

Wonderful location. Very near to the train station. Nearby there's this local market which is a must go place in Florence. We bought all our balsamic from there. Love the breakfast. Big thanks to Moraq for having us there. Too bad we only stayed for two days :( More

This is an outstanding value in an expensive city. The host, Moraq, was born in the US so speaks both English and Italian. she is a warm, welcoming person who without hesitation will extend herself to assist her guests in any way possible. She and her family live on the premises, so she is around if last-minute help is needed.... More

What a wonderful stay at the Casa di Barbano! Our host, Moraq, was most pleasant and accommodating. While within walking distance of the major sites, it offers a peaceful, quiet locale just on the perimeter. The breakfast, delivered to our room by Moraq, was varied and adequate. Overall, a great value in a great city, with a gracious host. More

Of everywhere we stayed in Italy, this was our favorite place. Moraq, the hostess, is originally from Chicago and spoke perfect English and perfect Italian. I felt as if we were staying at one of our own family member's homes, we were so comfortable! There are 3 rooms, so book in advance, because you will not want to miss out... More
