Ours Guest House is a beautiful florentine home located right in the middle of our historical centre, 100 meters far from the Uffizi Gallery, Old Bridge and the Duomo. Our location cannot be beaten! Reception is NOT open 24hours but from 9.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. only. Therefore we kindly ask you to let us know your arrival time at least the day before your check-in to come back to welcome you. You can get here any time from 12.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. but we need to arrange it with you. If you arrive after 9.00 p.m. or if you do not inform us about your arrival time you have to do a SELF CHECK-IN with 2 digital pin code numbers we will provide you by WhatsApp or by email on your arrival date. All our rooms have private ensuite bathroom, 2 double glazed windows, a minifridge, Tv, Air conditioning or heating. We suggest you to get to Florence by train, not by car if you can. We do not offer any parking service. We do not serve breakfast but there are many bars and caffes just outside our palace, offering a continental breakfast. Please note for a group or long stay we might request a 1 night deposit NOT REFUNDABLE as guarantee for the reservation to be charged 1 month before the check-in date. We look forward to meeting you!
