Luciano and his wife were amazing. They were very kind. The room was very clean and well kept. The location is perfect, less than a 5 minute walk from the train station, and very close to all other sights. I would love to stay there again.
Old bldg near the Santa Maria novella train station. Very walkable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms inside the old bldg were nice and updated. Bathroom was large , shower water pressure was great. The hotel has tea and biscuits and a bottle of wine as well as a refrigerator. I would definitely stay there again anytime I visit Florence.

This property is location is very desirable. The staff is very helpful in providing info for places to visit.
It has tiny lift and is not working as expected, we had to carry our luggage up and down...
Excellent stay. Lucio is really nice and helpful. The room is large, quiet and clean. The guest house is 5 min from the tram to the airport, from the train station in a neighbourhood with restaurant and bars.
The best hotel I stayed at in Italy and I stayed in 6. Super nice and friendly owner. And was very helpful. Hotel in an old historic building but it had all the things you need. Clean, hot water, great WiFi, good AC and great staff. Very close to train station. I would highly recommend this place.
Nous nโavons sรฉjournรฉ quโune nuit ร Florence, mais nous ne regrettons pas le choix du Palazzo Riblet.
Lโemplacement est idรฉal, ร deux pas de la gare (oรน arrive aussi le tram qui mรจne vers de parking extรฉrieurs ร la ville), il est aussi tout proche ร pieds des lieux historiques incontournables de Florence. Lโaccueil de Luciano a รฉtรฉ trรจs agrรฉable. Il nous a aussi donnรฉ de nombreux conseils, tant pour les visites que pour des suggestions de restaurants dans le quartier. Enfin la chambre รฉtait trรจs grande et confortable et la salle de bain moderne et pratique. Bref, tout รฉtait parfait !
Insgesamt ein sehr guter Aufenthalt, Lage der Unterkunft (fuรlรคufig vom Bahnhof Firenze SMN in 5-10min erreichbar mitten im Zentrum und dennoch ruhig gelegen) und Ausstattung des Zimmers lassen keine Wรผnsche offen. Absolut empfehlenswert!
Hervorzuheben ist die auรerordentliche Gastfreundschaft des Hoteliers Luciano. Ein Anruf im Vorfeld der Anreise um offene Fragen zu klรคren, weitere Informationen und Anreisedetails vorab per Mail, angenehmer und sehr herzlicher Check-in samt Tipps und Empfehlungen rund um die Altstadt von Florenz und ihrer Sehenswรผrdigkeiten, Restaurants, etc. - abgerundet durch eine Flasche Rotwein aufs Haus. Sehr familiรคr und zuvorkommend, selten erlebt!
A remarkable 15th century building remodeled with all the amenities. We had the family apartment and there were frescoes on the ceiling! The decor was lovely, it had excellent air conditioning, unlimited water, and even a deck! Able to walk everywhere from here. And the owners are the most helpful and lovely people. Definitely take their advice for meals...you'll save money and have fantastic food. I wish we could have stayed longer.
We initially chose this property because it was close to the train station, but found it was close to everything we wanted to see. It was a classic old building but the room was huge and the bed and bath were great. How you really judge a place is when you run into trouble as I did when I tested positive for cov-id. Luciano went above and beyond to help us find an official testing site, and he helped us make arrangements to go to a cov-id hotel as required. It would have been overwhelming to figure out since we do not speak Italian, but Luciano took great care of us. When we go back to finish our trip (!) we will definitely stay here again.
