Our stay was great, room was huge, we had a lot of space and there was a bonus tiny kitchen we were not expecting. The hosts made us a fresh breakfast with coffee each morning out in the garden.

Excellent location, a little away from the tourist-inundated areas, with access to several bars and restaurants frequented by locals. Marta was an excellent hostess, very helpful and kind.

I had a wonderful time while staying at the b&b of Marta and Tommaso. They are very friendly hosts.
The b&b is located in a calm area, yet not too far from the city center.
The room was beautiful and clean. Breakfast in the beautiful garden was delightful, always fresh and delicious.
This b&b comes very close to perfection!

This was the most perfect spot in the much-recommended Santo Spirito neighborhood. We were within walking distance from everything but on a quiet street, which was really nice. The room was perfect for our two night stay, and the bathroom was sizable for two people. The breakfast was a major highlight in the gorgeous garden - I could’ve stayed forever. Marta & everyone else working there were so lovely and helpful throughout our stay. We came home to a freshly made bed and filled water carafe each night, which was much appreciated after a long day of exploring Florence.

Very nice B&B walking distance from historic centr
Nice room with ensuite shower and toilet.
Although it faced the (residential)street it wasn't noisy.
Not too far from the station - we trundled suitcases for about 20 minutes.
A few restaurants within 5 - 10 minutes walk.
Thomaso and Marta are a very nice couple who do the best for their guests. Our big disappointment was that due to a change in their circumstances they had discontinued the in-house breakfast and we got a voucher for a coffee and a couple of croissants at a nearby café (but we learned this only on arrival). When booking accommodation we had sought to avoid such an arrangement.

Best place ever! Perfect example of what a lovely B&B should be. Marta was the best host, showed us how to get to places, Carolina was amazing cook and a sweetheart. If I am ever going back to Firenze, I’ll definitely be back there.

Beautiful property, amazing breakfast!
Marta greeted us and answered every question we had while we were there. She prepared a delicious breakfast and we ate outdoors in the garden. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic. Not a bad walk to Pitti Palace, Boboli gardens and Ponte Vexxhio and once you are there you are close to everything! Highly recommend!!!

Marta and staff was absolutely amazing to myself and my mom during our stay. The property was adorable. We were cozy and happy with lots of information and travel tips given to us. Breakfast was wonderful. The main attractions of the area are walkable. I had issues getting cabs, so Marta helped me. We loved this place and would recommend to anyone

A 20 min walk from Firenze Santa Maria Novella station. Not so easy to pull along a wheely case along the uneven pavements of Florence. Comfortable bed and bedding. Very clean. My room shared a bathroom and it was no bother. Marta was welcoming and made a lush brekkie and more than happy to advise or answer questions.

Marta is an amazing host! If your trying to decide between a major hotel or this, stay at B&B Monte Oliveto. We spent 6 nights in the honeymoon sweet and it was the perfect home base for our trip in Florence
